Let me put things into perspective,as a fresh grad working in the field,you can earn on average 15k/month with one of the big services company.This doesn't includes all the perks like free accomodation,etc... a fresh grad working in consultancy probably earn around 3k-4k/month.The pay for field engineer will also increase based on your experience,a senior field engineer with 2-3 years experience easily rakes in 20 to 25k/month on average.

You don't need to gain any job experience in the office to secure a position as a field engineer in oil and gas.In reality,all of the field engineer will go to training school where they will be trained to run specific tools depending on your segment,after that you will also have on job training.So in a sense you don't need any previous experience,to tell you the truth they even prefer fresh grad which is easier to mold.

As long as your cgpa is above 2.5,i think it is still possible,but still you have a chance to work as a field engineer in other small service company and with that experience you can apply to the big three,slb,baker and hal.

try dimension bid(wireline) amsito,antamahir,SDI .u can get some of the service company list and description of what they do over here;

i couldn't agree more

tried the shop at ground floor of wisma (sorry i don't know the actual name of the building),this building is just beside suria KLCC.

seriously,owh that's too bad to hear

Mostly Petroleum and Mechanical engineering background,but of course there are exceptions.

we should organize a tt sometimes huh for forumers over here...

i think with 5 years experience,you could probably get 8K in petronas,but I can't confirm this as I'm not working with them.
