Light sweet, sweet (less H2S), sour crude (high H2S), but nowadays a lot of wells come with sour crude, Tapis is one of the best. Cakerawala, Condy, Kikeh, Kidurong, bla bla bla....

Note : I heard TCOT now down for maintenance, is it?

(^__^)

Old platform I believe...old design...but I heard there will be new structure for Tapis area under construction

AutoCAD and SolidWorks will serve you well most of the time regardless of industry.

The RMS (Roxar Suite) is generally only useful if you have the foundation or the training to use it. Might I suggest Schlumberger NEXT, they have a lot of training classes available and will give you exposure to ECLIPSE (something like RMS/Tempest). Very expensive, but very respected, they also have intro classes to geophysics and black oil simulation. Reminder, 1 week of classes costs around 4.5k USD.

CFD is generally only covered if you're an instrumentation or piping engineer for OnG. For mechanical engineers if you want to get into the petroleum or black side of things, the best is to start as a production or field engineer. Do it for 2 to 4 years, then get your company to pay for a Masters in petroleum and then move on to reservoir engineering and geophysics.

If you want to be a OnG drilling engineer or mud engineer, my advice is to get your IWCF/IADC BOP Supervisor certification. It is around 3k USD for a 5 day course and lasts 2 years. You should also be fairly healthy and body tough. Start out as a leasehand or righand, move on to assistant driller and then tourpusher/head driller.

If you want to go straight into geophysics ASAP, then start out as LWD, MWD, coring or any other form of logging/geo interpretation. After 2 years they'll start getting you on the modeling tools.

It is a big industry. Tons of ways to go.

If you're an engineer, suggest supervisor level. If can, get dual IWCF and IADC cert.
Not just any company. But one that will give you lower pay, but pay more for professional training. Suffer now, enjoice later

If you can't practice with any software, get an idea for the basics of the industry you want to get into, this will be very very helpful in your interview. Don't need to study the details, get a general feel for what is done from start to finish and the process involved.

One of the mandatory requirement to work offshore is to have six packs abs. The lesser packs you have, the lower your pay will be.
If you are lucky enough, you can opt for Vietnamese in the KTV offshore.

Hi, thanks for the warning, but not entirely accurate.
Said document is not "restricted", nor is it intellectual property or an internal restricted document of any sort.
You can read it again (the LFI) to get a clearer picture on the legal angle.

All due respect ofcourse.
But i understand how you could get the idea from reading the first paragraph.

The document is meant for information purpose only, and Shell, its employees, contractors, and anyone or company is indemnified from any use of the said document by anyone who gets hold of it.

More importantly, Safety alerts & sharing are meant to be shared. Thats what they are for.
We have to keep sharp out there, and HSE news & HSE values should be shared on a daily, no, on a perpetual basis.

Cheers

Eff Me, Shell spent close to USD200 million of Petronas money on FEED conducted in Houston some more ..... I had my reservations with the concrete slab concept but hey ... I was a kuchirat at the time.

So what did you decide?

Just my two cents. If you don't have any other offer, just take the work experience any company willing to offer. You can always jump ship if a more established oil and gas company offers you a job. Just think of it like this, 6 months work experience is more valuable than 6 months waiting and hoping for the 'right' company. Every year you work you'll be more valuable. Don't need to think about money with less than 3 years work experience. Choose a job with good prospects and money will follow with experience.
