The planned vs the actual.

I just completed IDC on mechanical package and I was the first to be asked to check it, and I'm electrical. It's a mad world out there.

Added on November 30, 2012, 10:57 pmIt depends on your skillset. Do you know the telecom requirements for an offshore facility?

Added on November 30, 2012, 11:02 pmMost basic requirements in Malaysia are
1. OPITO-approved BOSET
2. Valid medical report from approved clinic in Malaysia

Additional requirements are
1. OSP
2. PTW
3. Competency Card
4. LPS
5. Boat transfer

If your company thinks that you can go to offshore, they are the one that supposed to facilitate you, not the other way around.

Added on November 30, 2012, 11:11 pmIf you are expecting a job offer through here, you may have to revisit your expectation. As far as I know, this thread is to give some ideas about the careers in O&G. Job opportunities do come but they are like once in a blue moon. Plus, I think you can give better impression and higher chance to get a job if you contact employers directly. To my knowledge, no employers would hire anyone that only provide their lowyat.net id and their area of study.

You can try reading back the previous versions on this threads so that you can get some ideas on which discipline suits you best.

who else here working with CLient side? how the feeling and working in client side..i have experience as main contractor EPCIC and now thinking to new growth as a Client side. but based on my observation client side is more boring whereby too much meeting and management, anyone else can share experience from client side?

Hi, I was wondering. Im from Bachelor of Electrical Power. How can I going to O n G field ?

Thanks

There is no weird nor funky ritual like dancing around bonfire that you have to do if you would like to enter O&G. Just like any other industries, all you need to do is to apply or respond to job vacancy ads. If you would like to work offshore, you need to be fit and have a good BMI. Other info (i.e. companies, SOW & etc), you have to read back those previous versions. Some have done it and they find it worth the time.

Yeah, kinda like to work offshore. And well, they said income also lucrative. But the main thing is, I thought Electrical engineering course kinda hard to move along OnG

Hi, im going for 3rd round interview for Halliburton data management consultant (drilling and completion department) soon.

Below some additional info

why o&g? at the first place.

if you seriously like crazy workload and unforeseen stress,
lucrative remuneration only apply if you above 5 yrs experience
with minor site jobs such as freelance work leader and freelance jobs.

for my advise, you better search for E&I, as it should be related to us.
i'm electrical power but dealing pipeline, and i know nuts about it

Excuse me but why does one need to be fit and have good BMI if one were to work offshore? Does every OnG company follow this rule or is it just a specific rule set by a company?

any advise for TAs?? actually im TA somewhere around miri (shipping)...degree holder.

Anyone pls?

What important skillset as requirement? I did not know telecom requirements for an offshore facility. Currently, I am doing project for DiGi and Celcom. In my company, I cannot find path towards O&G since it only focus in telco.

Hi, anyone know when shell, exxon mobil and petronas will start looking for some entry level position in engineering next year? Hope this time i can really get it.

At offshore facility, you need to walk a lot, climb stairs a lot, work at least 12 hours/day, 7 days a week. So, you need to be fit but not Arnold Susahnakeja kinda fit. It is a requirement for you to pass the medical check-up, not something set by companies.

You also have to know that the medical treatment at offshore is very limited. Getting a chopper is not like getting a taxi at shopping mall especially during monsoon.

Ermm...talking about chopper...was mentioned by our client that this EC225 chopper will be grounded until feb next year...a friend just came back from rig to KSB via supply boat...enjoying his 20 hours ride...huhuhu

OMG.....20hrs using crew boat? I only have 8 hrs experienced..that totally worst...hahahaha....wish gudluck..

Using supply boat chief not a crew boat...huhuhu...

yup. since north sea operations has issued to ground all ec225 super puma until further investigation. and it affected us as well

What is the relation for Sales Engineer to get into O&G companies?
