Any1 knows the starting pay for a fresh grad engineer in Exxon Mobile?

Is it good for fresh grad engineer go for commercial role like product quality position? Will attend interview for that position.

Hi guys, are the O&G projects usually messy as hell?
I joined the O&G industry from the automation industry and things aren't what I've expected. Coming from an organised company with proper steps from calculation to drawings to fabrication I'm quite shocked.

Yes messy as hell.....lol

Thank you very much, encik_jurutera, Stamp, feekle and asdiqa for your advice as well. With that, I understand more about the merits of working for consultant and EPC contractor respectively, allowing me to have a more balanced view of the industry. Then again, I can choose only one job at one time and I certainly cannot have everything.

May I know your reason that joining client directly as your first job is better than joining consultant or EPC contractor?

I respect your view on this matter. However, I do not have much chance in obtaining the interview invitation, bar the two job offers I mentioned before. I applied to several companies as mentioned in the first post of this thread and some other posts as well. Thus far, I only managed to obtain 3 interview invitations, one of which was Technip MHB Hull Engineering Sdn. Bhd. (TMH). I was not shortlisted for the second round of the TMH interview. As I stated before, I did perform reasonably well in the remaining 2 interviews, resulting in the aforementioned 2 job offers.

You can see that my success rate is low. Maybe my job searching skill is poor. Anyway, I shall not dwell too much on the past, and consider myself still lucky in securing 2 job offer. I just choose one of them and make the best out of it.

Thanks to everyone for making this thread a very informative repository for joining the oil and gas industry.

Which dept? By the way, do you have other better offer?

Just want to ask around. Being a chemist interested in the O&G sector. Is there any sections that require a chemist. been trying to look for a Chemist position but to no avail. need some feedback on what sort of companies/sectors i should be targetting to improve my hits on searching for this elusive position in the O&G arena.
Any form of input is much appreciated.

Petronas Research, Core Laboratories etc etc.

thanks for the feedback. will take a look. do u happen to know what keywords that identify these sectors. u know example, operations or sub sea etc. this would help to search for more online.
tq once again.

excatly and on top of that the damn bloody drilling in our ong sector no holiday also, and every morning ada rig meeting pun messy worst then hell.

Thank you for the correction, azraeil. Next time, I would probably state that my explanation is just a tentative one and should only used for rough understanding, until other oil and gas veterans like you provide a more accurate reply.

I made such mistake, since I based my answer on this definition.


That is why I mistakenly assumes that from the beginning of the project (including exploration), the operators delegate all tasks to oilfield service companies hired by the operators. As such, I wrongly believe that the operators are in some sort of supervisory role, and only start to operate the oil rigs, once the rigs are ready for production after commissioning.

Please do not hesitate to correct the mistakes I and other newbies make. We can certainly learn a lot more useful information from experts like you guys.

Added on August 18, 2012, 5:47 pmThe interviewer just ask me to tell something about myself,then I like talk until he ask me to stop,that is all.I hope that I can go into 3rd interview as well,but once I think of calculation,I am stress.Cause my pinch analyses quiet weak.

oh dear...
starting to regret a little now...

No problem. Operators do a lot of things. One of the most important of which is taking ALL the risk and all the decision making process. Service providers are companies that assists the operators once the operators have decided on their plans. That is the simplest definition. So service providers are like those contractors you hire to build your house. You have already decided what you want to do, you have agreed on a design and the contractors are there to build the house for you.

biasa la tuh , no holiday but doesnt mean they wont replace your holidays . it only that you may spend those 1st/2nd days of major celebration offshore or at office.jauh sikit la dr family.

kinda lucky for me im filling in for my seniors whose on holiday at the same place i balik kg(kl/klang valley consider kampung ka haha)

eid mubarak to all, both di kg, base, overseas and offshore.stay safe, and always practice safety.

Have a safe and incident free week dude.
