any API certified inspector around here??? wanna ask some question.

planning to get API 510 cert next year. the probem is i got a red green colour blind. is this gonna cause trouble???

unlike NDT or WI, API does not require an eye test as far as i know. does power plant, palm oil processing plant, oil and gas plant allow colour blind person to work inside there???

hi guys, do anyone know about Jessen & Jebsen Lurgi company or anyone very work for that company before? I want to know about the workload, income, and career advancement for the mechanical engineering position. It requires to handle the oleochemical process plant.

I think it's Geoservices dealing with mudlogging services. You can google its website.

may i know how did u apply for the post?

from the description of the position posted bg canonpixma, of course it deals with mudlogging services. unfortunately, there is no official website after i googled for it. or did i get it wrong?

Yup, its Geoservices and its dealing with mudlogging services. Anyone working here? By reading previous post, it seems like mudlogger is the worst job in an oil rig..

I apply thru Schlumberger official website, I suppose. I think they pass my resume to some other company.
The address for the test is:
Geoeast (M) Sdn Bhd
A Schlumberger Company
16th floor, East Wing, Rohas Perkasa,
No. 9, Jalan P. Ramlee,
50250, Kuala Lumpur.
And they also mentioned, "The position offered is Mud Logging Trainee for one of Schlumberger companies - Geoservices".
So, I'm abit confused now

Geoeast is the name of the sdn bhd company but its actually geoservices, the company under slb. Its a good place to start but if u hv a better job offer out there, dont bother with mudlogging haha.

oh. no wonder lah. its actually geoservices though. thanks

depends on the nature of your job scope. those chart/graphs reports maybe in color. some plants processing chemicals maybe in colors. so depends on your employer.
also, an auditor may doubt your qualifications in physical examinations. some employers demanding that API 510/570 inspector shall not be color blinded. you may have issue in interpreting NDT results/thermographic charts.
the trick here is your employer/clients (clients may request-check your qualifications/physical examinations) & yourself.

8.2 Vision Examinations

8.2.1 Near-Vision Acuity. The examination should ensure natural or corrected near-distance acuity in at least one eye such that the applicant is capable of reading a minimum of Jaeger Number 2 or equivalent type and size letter at the distance designated on the chart but not less than 12 inches (30.5 cm) on a standard Jaeger test chart. The ability to perceive an Ortho-Rater minimum of 8 or similar test pattern is also acceptable. This should be administered annually.

8.2 Color Contrast Differentiation. The examination should demonstrate the capability of distinguishing and differentiating contrast among the colors and shades or gray used in the method as determined by the employer. This should be conducted upon initial certification and at 5-year intervals thereafter.

no accident happen at the water detention pond, then good. if any accident happen (touchwood), then things may become ugly.
LOTO & PTW may come into play too...

am in OCTG operations, not in plant oil terminal, so no idea.

Hey guys, sorry if this isn't the best place to post this, but since this is where I can find the best people to answer me...

So I've got this interview for admission at UTP coming up, and I've applied to do Petroleum Engineering (undergraduate degree). Obviously at some point they'll ask me why I want to do Petroleum Engineering and all I've got so far is the following:

- I want to be part of something big (energy industry)
- Great job prospects
- Attracted to the idea of extensive travelling


Do you have anything I could add to that? I was planning to say that I've read the opinions of people in the industry (by that I mean this thread and others on Lowyat, but they don't need to know that) as part of my research. Also I'm gonna say UTP grads are in greater demand in the industry (is that true?) and that's why I'm keen on enrolling there. What are your thoughts?

go further ur studies if you can haha...

Haha! it seems like everyone telling me the same thing. Haha!

mudlogging pay is no good...unless you are planning to use it as a stepping stone...however mudlogging gives you a chance to learn all the rig operations.
