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 ?

with only 1 year experience outside O&G, most likely when u enter you will start off just like a fresh grad.

there is a huge difference between a project manager and a planner.
project manager manages the entire project team (a lot of responsibility) and the project. 
Planner plans, schedules, update/monitors/revises the progress, provide reports on progress, etc.
Slightly more towards management side, but u will def learn what everyone's role is and how a project is done.
