Tell me which department will absorb you as graduate trainee? Or in which career prospect you are looking at (engineering, safety, corporate comm, commissioning, installation)?
I will elaborate more upon I know your qualification.

I did my internship with them 3 years ago for 3 months. They paid me RM 1K a month which was quite a good figure for somebody doing an internship back then. Generally it is a good company if you want to start up your career in oil & gas consultation industry. They offered me a job within the engineering department, but I just don't like being a consultant, so I politely rejected their approach. Having said that, I would like to thank them for their generosity to pay me such a good money for an unproven intern..

Petronas is not a government company but a GLC company. Petronas staff are not civil servants; salary scale, benefits, bonus, are different (and no pension) from govt.

My dad works there. =)

I see. I just wanted to know whether JPA scholars can work with Petronas or not to clear off the bonding.

petron is quite new in the O&G malaysia industry.

anybody care to share?

Yes I went for Graduate Instrument Engineer position interview.... Did you also go for the same position?

Petronas has its own scholars. My guess is that Petronas will give priority to its scholars first for employment.

It should be Instrument Engineer. Sometimes it's called Instrument and Control Engineer.

Should be no problem for JPA scholars to work with Petronas. Few of my friends who are JPA scholars are now working for Petronas.

anybody can explain to me in simple word what is logging and perforating?read it on google but dont really understand it.

from my understanding, loggin use a lot of software to determine situaution on well and perforating is like build structure for the well and "tampal" cement to the wall.dont laugh at me.i really dont know

Bumi Armada.

Yes Its instrument engineer post... Not instrumental....
Did you go?
Did you get any reply?

Anyone heard about Leighton Offshore office based at G Tower...

How about this company? It is good to work?

Formally DPS.. Leighton Offshore bought over..

logging is a procedure or a process to determine the petrophysics of the well through some logging tools such as density log, resistivity log, etc while perforating is where explosive is used to make hole at the wall of the formation to allow the oil to flow through the perforated wall.

Once a well has been drilled, the operator will call in the logging company (usually Schlumberger, Baker etc etc) to setup (or rig-up) their logging tools. These logging tools such as the triple combo will determine the electrical properties of the rock. These electrical property such as Gamma Ray, Density, Neutron, Resistivity will be interpreted by the company petrophysicist to determine the reservoir quality and also the presence of hydrocarbons.

Once it is determined from the logging exercise that there are hydrocarbons present in the reservoirs and the reservoirs are of good quality (porosity and permeability are above a certain cut-off) the petrophysicist will instruct and plan for the perforation exercise to test the reservoir performance (whether the reservoir can deliver the oil/gas to the surface). This peroration is done by lowering the perforating tool which is packed with explosives (each perforation job usually cost upwards of 1 million USD, so this is no time to fool around).

If the perforation is successful, the oil/gas will flow to the surface and the well is then tied in to the production flow lines.

tq very much such a detail explaination but at least, i know what is it and if interviewer ask me, i got fact to point it out

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if my job is really considered an oil and gas job and what options are there for me in the future.

I'm currently working as a surveyor.

Inspecting and witnessing transfer of cargo which consists of oil, gas and chemicals. For those who don't know, for example if there's a client who wants to purchase crude from Petronas, we would have to standby on the tanker as well as the terminal, to witness the transfer, calculate cargo transfer and take samples for analysis. Working locations vary from tankers, onshore terminals, FPSO. We do bunkering for vessels/tankers as well. I also do of minerals bulk cargo such as barite and iron ore.

Can anyone tell me the career path of the job i'm currently in? I know that I can get tons of experience, but the problem is, who would actually want to hire me next time.

I am very lucky to get the job as I do not have any relevant "certs", and I am thinking of doing some distant learning as well.

Can anyone provide me good advice? Thanks.

I had been offer for a position as a planner in one oil and gas service company. Can I know what is the difference of between planner and project manager in terms of job scope ? or it is just a job title?

And perhaps someone could give opinion regarding the job prospect of a planner? I have a degree in chem eng with one year exp. in Palm oil mill- currently plan to jumpship to O&G. Now seems I have the opportunity but I am worry now if i accept the job will I be shift to more on management rather than technical ?
