No. PE is a specific discipline and you need to have either a PE degree or something close to PE like Chem Eng. to be able to be hired as a PE. If you have a Mechanical Eng. maybe you can be trained as a drilling engineer but that is also unlikely.

Erm not sure he meant project eng or pet eng lol.

Btw to be drilling eng need to hav pet engineering degree?

Yes, I knew a young engineer got an offer to join them in Johor.
But due to family commitment, he joined for a while and then resigned to return back to KL.
Another guy got a call for an interview also in Johor.

what is the suitable position in OnG for mechanical Eng grads?

i already send to those..but no news...

How is your opinion of EMEPMI in Malaysia? Do you think its still worthwhile to join them?

Exactly. Don't speak for the sake of getting attention. Make sure it has substance.

Thanks guys. Was being told the exact same thing by the speaker who was giving us job interview talk this afternoon.

Thank you for your opinions and I have few things to say about this. This is just my humble opinions, so I hope no one will get offended.
1. I am not naive to think that this things doesn't happen under the table. Shit like this happenend anywhere, not only in Petronas. I said this based on my short stint living and working with foreign company overseas.
2. Petronas is an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY employer. Your judgement saying the Petronas is implementing race quota is trully inaccurate. The 80:20 ratio is reflecting on the CURRENT RATIO of Petronas employees by race. NOT a racial quota.
3. In case of your friends with high CGPA but didn't manage to get in to Petronas: some companies doesn't ONLY look on CGPA alone, but other achievement as well. I have lots of Malay friends got rejected because of OVER-ACHIEVING. This is not down to any racial bias, but the companies recruitment policy itself.
4. Get your facts right, Petronas CEO NEVER said anything about any racial quota. And, they will NEVER WILL said something like that. Petronas is our NATIONAL oil company and it is their job to protect national interest. Hiring Malays only is not protecting national interest.

This racial issues are sensitive. But some Malaysians tend to lose their judgement easily when it come to this matter. Listening to what other people say is not a good source, because of bias. And one bad experience doesn't make true either. Maturity is the key. Our country's future will be ruin if all races are prejudice against each other. Afterall, what we all want is to live in a peaceful, democratic and dynamic society.

i have to disagree with this. one of my friend who graduated in electrical eng working for slb as a drilling eng and other friend also graduated in electrical eng working for slb as well testing eng. got other friend who's working also with slb as field eng sand management segment graduated in mech eng. i believe as long as u graduated in eng bground n good enough, those companies will hire u n train u to be either drilling, production, or wireline eng. but maybe to be a reservoir eng, yes u should have either pe or chem eng bground. just my 2 cents.

How do you apply for Murphy graduate trainee? I am also in the midst of job hunting. I have degree in Petroleum Engineering.

Hi guys, engineering freshie here too. I'm looking forward in joining O&G with the mindset that the industry can offer high pay and probably can earn oneself some respect for doing the "real" engineering work.

I just want to get some advice from all the experienced engineer and sifu in O&G here. can you please let us know what kind of position in O&G is prospective or maybe 'sweet spot' position that you would like to take given that you live another 'fresh graduate's' life? maybe we start with a list of prospective positions?

and by prospective means not only totally based on salary, I know some of you might spill those 'my friend earn more than 10k within 2 years without experience' kinda talk. but I think that it's too surface to just talk based on salary. How about the workload? how about the occupation risk? how about job satisfaction? how about the 'work 2 weeks offshore and rest 2 weeks' lifestyle? how's career affecting relationship with family?

It's just that i like engineering, but i don't like the fact that we work like bull to earn the somewhat big amount. there a lot more option in life in my opinion. if we can earn decent amount in O&G and still work office hour. by all means we can learn to invest the money, or maybe start a side business. or maybe if the position is prospective, we can seek opportunity oversea (say aussie), do little and still earn 10k(value in malaysian ringgit) without a sweat.

all in all who am I to say right? pour us your perspective and wisdom.

I think the salary is different but they use the same pay grade as slb. I believe Geoservices has the lowest salary in slb and I see a lot frustration among Geoservices staff. Since Geoservices is still integrating with slb, Geoservices will have something like fixed step program similar to what slb has. According to the program, you need at least 3 years before you can change segment within slb.

For one, most drilling engineers works with operators not service providers. SLB is not well known to have a drilling services. They have wireline and well testing services and they only bought Smith about 2 years ago (and that company sells drilling bits)

To be a drilling engineer you need to have fundamental knowledge of

1. Rock mechanics
2. Reservoir engineering data such as reservoir pressure and temperature
3. Some bit of Geology as you'll need to know what kind of reservoir you're drilling into
4. Cementing knowledge
5. Well completion knowledge


So yes, you'll need some engineering background but any engineering background won't do.

I personally have not heard of drilling engineers being provided by services providers such as SLB/Halliburton etc, most drilling engineers if they are not working with the operators are on their own contract or Direct Hire basis on Daily Rate.

thanks...means they had no offer at KL is it....
