Oil and Gas can be found offshore and offshore so specifying offshore as upstream is incorrect. Upstream in Oil and Gas industry relates to exploration and production of oil and gas from those fields. Once it leaves the platform via pipeline on to ships or into the gas gathering system then that's where downstream activities starts

Cant be sure hows is the interview like right now, cos the hiring manager kind of busy currently, they still working out the date for me
Where are u wrking rite now shahwan86 ?

Hello everyone, I'll be attending Murphy Oil full day interview at petronas twin towers tomorrow. I'm still in my final year of studies in Civil Engineering...

Do you have any tips or website that you can recommend me to read on further?? and also tips on full -day interview preparation??

Sorry as this is my first full-day "serious" interview, others were only 10 to 20 minutes short interview that I attended in campus. I've come this far and I hope I can get through .. Thanks in advance!

just as bro azreil pointed out here. tubular services is found on both off and on shore projects, just simply where ever a drilling process is required.how and what tools are done will be different tho.

Anyone heard of PFC Engineering? I got an interview next week for Proposal Engineer position.

They are doing mechanical valves maintenance and TSM at PMO, for SKO and SBO, they are doing RV maintenance. Not sure about downstream though.

How about the company itself? Is it good in terms of working environment and salary?

oh..i tot he was talking abt malaysia in particular.
i assume that since i never heard abt malaysia's onshore oil reserve, unlike middle east etc
pardon me

Even in Malaysia, upstream is not related to offshore or onshore. Upstream / Downstrean is a term that defines the line between activities in the Oil & Gas industry

We have an onshore field called Asam Paya by the way but that is beside the point.

asam paya? is it in miri?

tubular:
there are pup joints, tubing, casing, accessories, subsea equipments with various type of connections API and premium connections.
precision machining, swaging, stress-relief, plating, hydrostatic pressure test, welding, hardbanding, blasting, phosphating, coating, make-up (tong), NDT, etc processes involved in producing the OCTG OCTG.
sizes maybe from 2", 2.3/8", 2.7/8", 3.1/2", 4", 4.1/2", 5", 5.1/2" and maybe up to 48", length may range from R1 (4.88-7.62m), R2 (7.63-10.35m) or R3 (10.36-14.63m), depends on well depth.

there are conductor casing, surface casing, intermediate casing and production casing (liner) in a typical well. drill with mud as cutting fluids in the annulus with the help of drill bit and drill string, then cement with float collar and centralizer. make-up (tong) those casing from few hundred ft to thousands ft. then continue to drill to cement up those casing in sequence. during these processes, the well may face pressure loss, kicks, may require shut-in and kill, or stuck pipe and require fishing tools.

sound promising. can outsider attend the conference and dump the resume in?

Hi, Actually what is this conference about ? will fresh graduate found any usefull info in this conference regarding the oil and gas career ? or it is not for the job seeker ?

Near the Sarawak Brunei border.

Only 2 wells and some basic facilities only... currently it is producing 30-40 bbl/day.

talking about onshore field, currently there is one that being drilled in the town of miri rite? under nippon oil? pls correct me if i'm wrong.

i heard some of the oil workers here talk about it yesterday not sure wch part of miri or whose the driller/operator etc.was surprised too to here we have some reserve onshore who knows maybe there is more to be tapped in

I'm sure Petronas has somethig up its sleeve on this field. The 3D seismic survey (which was a b**** to do in the swampland of Asam Paya) I think has been completed, the FDP for that field should be ready soon and maybe Petronas will give it out to another operator, who knows.

That would be Miri Oilfield. We looked at it before but the risk to the population was high because we cannot account for all the well heads that was drilled previously. Some of the wellheads we are not sure if it was P&A properly and some maybe belakang some outhouse somehere and imagine what would happen heh heh heh .... you don't want to be taking a dump near a wellhead
