Most company actually expect a 1 month notice. It depends on the company's policy. I know some major O&G companie that requires 3 month notice.

Added on November 26, 2012, 1:16 pmO&G people are hot stuff heh heh heh ..... if you are a driller than most of the time it is okay for you to take short term (6 months) contract. The package can be up to 150K a month for those kind of contract, for a geologist, not so much .... I mean the demand is still there but not as high as drilling engineers. Drilling engineers, today resign on the spot, next week can get another job already.

hot stuff in terms of exp. IINM u've been into drilling for almost 15 years wasn't it? damn lucky u r. haha

wow bro , respect ....
Btw just wondering when you mention drilling engineers , do you mean those guys on the rig handling the drilling process like operating the machine etc (or you call those guys drillers?) ? or those in the office analysing all the data and making sure the drilling process went smoothly ?

yep thats m'sian companies.i was kinda taken a back when i first joined my company, and attending the meetings to see our own petronas has soo many expats.made me wonder on what kind of caviar pay roll are they on compared to us locals.

Drilling engineers are those who will oversee the drilling operations and will be the decision maker in terms of POOH, Wiper Trip or shutting down the well in case of a kick and the one who works with the reservoir engineer/field geologist in terms of deciding to sidtrack the well etc. The high pay is for the responsibility they have on their shoulders. Usually associated with Company Man. There's also the Drilling Foreman, NightMan and Drilling supervisors who are in high demand as well.

That will be DRILLER's responsibility. Failed to do so, you might cause a fatality(s), and/or equipments damage and/or spills...

perhaps one needs to understand the most basic org structure then self-explore various functional responsibilities.

Aisehman... No engineering team. I am sad.

Bro Azraeil, im currently in final semester in mech eng. Really interested to be a drilling engineer
want to ask, are they only hired person from petroleum eng background for drilling engineer position ?

nice share , thanks

Usually they hire from PE background but then again a lot of things can happen so it doesn't hurt to try. To be a drilling engineer you need to know about reservoir pressure (as it affects the drilling operations), the required mud content (oil based mud/water based mud ... where to use these type of mud) and probably some completion knowledge (fracking, acidization etc etc). I am not a drilling engineer but a lot of my friends are so I get to know what they do. I'm not sure if there are any members here who are a drilling engineer, maybe they can answer some of your questions.

So bro,

How to apply? I already search on Aramco website about job opening but cannot find anything. Do they accept mud engineer with experience more than 12 years? By the way, I'm at the Karan Field now enjoying my life here.

Thanks.

Send your CV to Seah la ..... since you're in Kingdom already, ask some of the Aramco staff there about how to apply also. 12 years experience should be good already. Did you look at http://www.jobsataramco.com ?

So, non of you are from civil background?

is field engineer a good starting position in this field? thx

Ok bro, will do.

Yes, I did look at http://www.jobsataramco.com but did not find anything for mud specialist. But I will not stop looking.

Thanks.

Shifuus...



Thanks.

what is the latest pay range for graduate engineer in oil and gas company ?

It depend on company, there is no fix range

it will be either 2k up to 4.5k. or more than that.

like badyuan said, depends on the company profile

I had a look as well. I suspect it is not specifically mentioned as Mud Specialist ... then again I'm not sure. Maybe it's under Drilling or Other Engineering?
