you are absolutely right.

haha..funny question..not necessary tough and have a strong bodies unless you are working as a rigger or helper.If you fit and dont have any medical problem should be able to work on this field.

OK LOL...cos i was being told my uncles and seniors tht to be in O & G, must have Lin Dan's muscles and Muhammad Ali's strength that's how i come to doubt about it... But guess being a rigger is a tough job too nevertheless.

ahaha..O&G is a big field..maybe your uncle work required physical strength to be done..for me mental strength come 1st

Morning lads,

A little background info about myself: I have been working for almost 3 years now in a shipping company. Always wanted to enter OnG industry but the opportunity presented itself in awkward situation, hence i passed it.

Anyway, last week i received an offer in a little known oil & gas company. Naturally, I was pleased. But the snag comes when they offered me the position of Trainee Engineer, citing my lack of experience in their field.

That means I would have to take a pay cut (and my pay getting reset back to the level it was when I first started working), and with my experience of 3 years not reflecting on my salary. Should I be expecting more? Or is this the maximum offer I can get, even elsewhere? And yes, i have submitted my resume to several other company in the oil & gas field but let's just say the respond has been lukewarm so far.

Thanks & Regards

keep fit for your own good.
after all you work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week.
thats if ure lucky and with client side.

I'm on the PMT side. I work til past midnight (sometimes til 3am) and up again at 530 to make it for the 6am toolbox meeting. Have power naps at lunchtime. Oh, and as part of the PMT, not entitled to OT pay. My last trip was 47 days offshore living like that.


Dont equate body building with keeping fit.
Skipping rope is cheap, easy to bring along and gives a good cardio workout.
No gym? do dips using chairs. Pull up bar? get the scaffolders to make one. haha

Can we do fishing actibities on platform?

legally no.

LOL... how nice if we can... thought rig companies should make platform more interesting ie. add some pool table rooms, KTV rooms lol...at least provide some avenue for workers to de-stress.

Hi guys! I am planning to do geology? Can i have some advices or maybe opinions?

you mean the rig or the platform? last i know both also have rec facilities but cant compare to the ones available on land la.

at least better than nothing... some if the riggers sacrificed a lot to work on rig, imagine months without thier GFs/ WIfe and kids.. But to get $, of course need to sacrifice to some extend... There's no free lunch in this world. Maybe that explains why the take up rate of PE/ Offshore oil riggers are still pretty low atm compared to other fields haha.

Hi, im new here, I want to ask from you guys opinion here, regarding about my first job offer.
I received an offer from a consultant engineering company.. They offer me rm2800 with 2 years training. Is that salary is ok?

Hope I can get some opinions from you all here. Thanks

P/s,, I am graduating on this June, from electrical engineering background and my pointer is 3.5 above.

who say dont have. pool table maybe ive not seen yet but yeah KTV rooms, ping pong tables, gym, massage chair, etc i've come acrossed

Wow..6am toolbox meeting,that's normal I believe hehe...btw,i think PMT and MPT is same meaning, my place use MPT

(^__^)

MPT or non-MPT earn more in operation field? Is it acceptable in the field for a fresh graduate degree-holder applying for a non-MPT position?

PMT = Project Management Team
MPT = if same with PMT, Management Project team
non-MPT position = ?

btw, some drilling rigs allow you to fishing, depends on your Drilling Supervisors....but not on the mercury area...

ada lah..

yes 6am is normal toolbox, no issue. but try working til 3+am 'taking a nap' for 2 hours then back up and the next day begins. 7 days a week


thats why i said, legally not allowed, but is widely done. haha.

btw, i just read the HSE alert report regarding the fatality due to the watertiht door.
