I read somewhere about there are 3 types of Gas Company.

Consultant - Technip, MMC
Operator - Petronas, Shell
Contractor - Schlumberger, Baker Hughes

From what I read, it says that consultant employees get paid least, but you are only doing office jobs - designing using AutoPipe, etc.
Contractors are paid the most amount of wages, but you will be working offshore, on the oil rif.

From contractor, its quite hard for you to jump into operator companies such as Shell, Petronas, but from consultancy companies, you will have a brighter chance of working with the operators
(I'm talking about jumping up the food chain, more convenient work place,no offshore life, more decent pay )

Any one care to explain n elaborate n correct what is wrong?
Im gonna graduate next year, trying to figure out with my life, where to work, and so on. Now I'm finishing my internship already, being here, make me realise, deciding field of work is not an easy choice. BTW I'm a Mechanical Engineering student.

Lucky you. I applied for a placement December last year, and I was called for an interview on April, a month after I started my industrial training.
BTW, during my time, each candidate was given 3 topics (which were Malaysia Economic Transformation Programme, CSR, & Online Social Networking), and given 15 minutes to make a presentation.
Would really love to add GE's name on my resume. Well, .

Well we undergraduates are always nervous especially when attending to big companies.
Just be prepared, anticipate the questions to be asked from different perspectives, for example, say, on CSR topic, how CSR help businesses in Malaysia? That's a general question. Then, they asked how do you view GE CSR efforts such as Ecomagination, GE Volunteer, Healthymagination etc.
So, stand firm, all out confidence, show the personality that they want you to possess.

Okay. By subsurface discipline you mean working somewhere in departments such as Field Development, Well Planning, Reservoir Modelling, & Operations Geology? Can you guide us mechanical eng. undergraduates with some guidelines, such as go learn basic knowledge on certain softwares such as Landmark , Gocad , RMS, Petrel, OpenSpirit, or go take elective subjects such as computational fluid dynamics or anything else that would help us to catch the eyes of the consultant/operator employers for a kickstart in OnG career. We would really appreciate it.

GL Noble Denton, it falls under OnG Consultant category, yes?
Hope this gives you the idea:

Anyone can advise which subjects would catch the eyes of OnG companies? None of this is valuable or it doesn't matter?
