Did include the last comment in the first post. cheers

new thread but no new pay haha.cheers all.

Guess what, oil price is closing in to 98USD per barrel last week and exploration activities around Malaysia is picking up. More HTHP wells are being drilled at the moment, we are getting more business but YET my salary remains the same.

Still running around as a logging while drilling engineer here. Anyone got questions on the job can drop me a message

wazzaapp

have a nice days ahead guys

Hi I'm new here, does anyone here work in Schlumberger under DCS (Data consulting services). I would like to know where trainees under DCS are sent to during their training.

hurm...not all enjoy the 'another day another dollar' huh....

I've heard of people being sent to Abu Dhabi & US (Houston, TX iinm)

How about russia, Slb siberian training centre?. All I know is that trainees under certain segments, such as wireline engineer has their own school in colombia, so slb sent them to colombia while mudlogger to Dubai, middle east learning centre. I can't find more information about other slb training centre in the web. T_T

was wondering, just a question.

Would it be wise for a person with finance/investment background jump ship to oil/gas industries especially in sales & marketing?

hey sifus, i've tried to search around, but i think dis may be d best place to ask.

i'm currently in my final year as an aerospace engineering student and i'm very interested in joining the oil n gas industries seeing as how my seniors n fellow family friends have "lured" me. They say it's d most monetarily rewarding with great benefits. I'm not lying when i say dat money is my main motivation right now.

So my question is, am i qualified to apply for a job in this industry? My cgpa is a tad short of 3.5 Here are the list of subjects i took as an undergrad. Perhaps it can help shed some light.

I'd also like to know how can i apply the knowledge from my course in the oil and gas industry? When we graduate, we'll be granted bachelors of mechanical(aerospace) engineering.

Hope u guys can help me out. Sorry if i dont provide enough info. THANK YOU!

from what I know ,SLB has MLC(middle east learning center),KLC(Kentucky learning center??),SLC(sugar land learning center),ELC(european learning center),STC(siberia tyumen training center) and some other which I don't know of.Some of the training center is integrated which means it provides training to numerous segment while other only provides training for a specific segment.The one in MLC and ELC is an integrated training center.

Added on August 28, 2012, 1:43 pmdepend's on the post,if u are applying for a field engineer position,nobody actually cares about what engineering background that u have.

if u are applying for any position which has some relation to mechanical engineering such as drilling engineer I believe u would still stand a chance.

Was placed under this segment back then in the last stage of interview with SLB. I failed. Where else can I give a try aside from baker,halli,gyrodata? (all applied)

My bestfriend is a mech-aero graduate from UTM. Now working with RWP. Not in mechanical though. Graduate liason engineer.

i see. i wonder wut to answer if i'm asked how does my course relate to oil and gas. a friend of mine said since i'm took aerospace propulsion (which also teaches turbomachinery), then dats a gud starting answer as those drill heads are driven by turboshaft, so i can b of use somehow.


thank you so much! this is gold!

@abafamny_90 Oh, and her classmate is working in the same company with me, as a safety engineer.

yeah bro heard that as well.quite a lot exploration and completion work going on now and still increasing, rigs are shifting around like amd man.

this HPHT wells are a headache for my comp...all requires odd sizes/special equipment wch is as expensive as the bloody well it self

Dear Sifus,

I received a prospective offer from a oilfield services provider for the post of technical sales engineer specializing in drill bits.

Can anyone provide some first-hand insight as to what roles and duties a technical sales engineer is supposed to fulfil ? And also, how is the work like ? A lot of stress, travelling, deadlines etc. ? I'm eager to know.

Version 4 already, Hooray, Keep it up !!!

i have two question hope sifu here may help:

1. is the prospect of working as a commissioning superintendant of a shipbuilding company relevant to the oil and gas industry? eg to be involved in FPSO in the future.

2. chiyoda corparation hiring recently. will anyone has work in there before especially as a field engineer can share their experience? how is the culture, pay, allowance etc. i see ppl comments in v3 that its abit unsavoury. i got called by chiyoda

hope u guys can provide some insights

dear sifus..
for career advancement in ONG industry,long term,
keppel or technip?
thanks...!

Technical sales engineer?

Jobscope:
1) Prepare commercial and technical proposal for bits. Normally bit selection process is very routine and clients often look at previous run records and performance bulletin to determine which bit they will use. As a sales engineer, your duty is to make sure the client run your bits in the hole! Only when the bit is in the hole, the sales is consider complete. The company wont make much money by having the bit on standby.

That's where your PR and sales skills come in. Golf skills helps a lot if you are dealing with non-Petronas clients. (Petronas engineers normally don indulge in golfing, but occasional free lunches and Coffee bean drinks will bring you a step closer in closing the deal). HAving said that, normally Client don let one bit company monopolize the whole well regardless of how good is the company is. They will distribute the market share among 2-3 bits company, for instance if company A take the top section, company B will take the intermediate section and so on.

Travelling wise, you will be required to attend morning meetings on daily basis. Client office is where you will spent your first half of the day, and the other half of your day will be in the office, chasing logistics or preparing quotation for customers. You will be moving around customer offices regularly but oversea travels are very rare and seldom. Thank god that in Malaysia, most client offices are flocked together within close proximity in downtown area!

Deadline? Chasing POs and tracking the bit movement is normally the only headache revolving the job. Other than that, the job itself is quite routine.

On the technical side, You don't have to be technically strong in this field but you must know your stuff. Product knowledge is very important. Know which type of bit will perform best in different formations. Understand the difference between 4 blade or 5 blades PDC bit and size of the PDC cutter. (13mm, 16mm or 19mm)

Study the IADC code for bits and their classification.

Certain companies have sophisticated tools and software to simulate the performance of a bit. By looking at the vibration profile and borehole profile generated by the bit, you will know whcih bit will give you the best results.

Thats all!

---

Added on August 28, 2012, 10:27 pmI'll go for Technip. They have a very comprehensive training program for young graduates. Hardly know anyone who works in Keppel, sounds like the job is related to shipyard more than O&G to be honest.

Thank you very much ! You have been of great help.

hi guys and sifu.
what position in sapurakencana (originally sapuracrest) always go to offshore? is it project engineer? field engineer?
i dont really like to work in office, im more to field/site job

please reply thanks.

This post has been edited by HarimauMuda: Aug 29 2012, 12:05 AM

Doesnt matter la, just go wherever they send you All are pretty much the same standard imo & you get to experience life in a very different place. If you join SLB you really need to be willing to be mobile & go wherever they throw you

Let's hope that the "Oil & Gas Career v4" thread will always be an informative repository for everyone here.

@joe_star
Could you shed some light on the methods to apply for the job of a logging while drilling engineer? It seems such jobs have better prospect and you are currently reaping rewards from it.


Thank you for your advice.

This post has been edited by alvinkhorfire: Aug 29 2012, 09:16 AM

where can i get an offshore job?? no kaki for offshore job. My BOSEIT almost die already..hahaha tired of sitting my ass in the office handling projects..need hands on job!!!!

This post has been edited by fe3doe: Aug 29 2012, 12:43 PM

My opinion, we should concentrate in unconventional oil and new frontier type.

Shale gas, CBM, tight reservoir, HPHT etc will be the new scenarios. Easy reservoirs are getting lesser and lesser. Besides these specializations get paid very well woo.

Haha... Your BOSIET holds no value after this if you don't have PTW. Carigali's platforms require PTW to board.

how's the job as an offshore technical assistant in Coral Alliance?

Hey,going to have a written test for the oil and gas industry company,anyone can give some ideas,what they will ask during the written test?

hey guys, the company I'm working with is recruiting a new batch of Inspection & Processing Engineer. the company is involved in ROV subsea pipeline and platform inspection. here's the official job description and requirement.

Responsible for working with GIS software system for the acquisition, Q.C., Q.A. and development of technical data, drawings, charts and reports for petroleum offshore projects such as pipeline inspection and platform inspection.

1) B.Sc. degree in Engineering
2) Excellent computer skills, specially: AutoCAD and Microsoft Office applications
3) Excellent command of English language
4) Capable of working offshore
5) Previous offshore experience is a MUST
6) CSWIP certificate would be a big plus
7) Male candidate ONLY

sorry to the fresh grads, those requirements are from the HR. anyone interested please PM me. I'll only forward resumes that satisfy those requirements.

If you like to be at offshore...field engineer will be the best position to you... but bear in mind, there are no chance to stay in land once u confirmed as FE. U must be tough physical and mental.

Once more, fresh field engineer hired by Sapuracrest must be oversea graduate with excellent result. That is what is hear and saw.

Does your office located around Sunway Damansara?

hahaha.. u from Ranhill?? or BDEWC?? LOL

No lah! But it is true, you need PTW to board platform, not sure whether they already implemented it.

PTW dah lama dah.. cuma x mandatory lagi....

Ye la. Now mandatory.

Hope TS can include this link in the first post. Oil & Gas V3

I suggest v1 and v2 also. Cheers

Good idea. Done.

Best place towork in unconventional reservoir is australia. They have huge resources, government support and not enough workforce. Malaysia, we dont even have any unconventional play.
By the way, tight reservoirs and HPHT is still considered as conventional resourses (sandstone, carbonates), just alot harder to handle.

nope. Subang.

they're enforcing it at the moment..be it offshore or onshore as long as within their area.

p/s: PTW is piece of cake...all can pass

This post has been edited by feekle: Aug 30 2012, 02:44 PM

Oooh... Sorry, wrong counter. HAHAHA.

They are enforcing Competency Card also, right?

Opppp cozzzzzz...

Hi all the expert out there,I just graduate with second upper class at master degree in Chemical Engineering,I am keen to join the O&G industry,however I cannot find the way to join in the company.

As shell and Exxon that I applied do not reply to me.Recently I would want to try schlumberger,but the register account page seem like got some problem.anyone know how to create the account for schlumberger?or any tips to me in order to join the industry?

Thanks a lot

Anyone working for Dresser Rand APAC?
How's the working environment?

Aiyooo you ah. Back then Competency Card only for SBO/SKO. Now only I heard they enforcing it to PMO. Last month, they dont ask for Competency Card when I board a platform in East Coast.

all can pass, but i forgotten what was taught d. haha.

On another note,

Two workers have been killed in an accident on a drilling rig off Victoria's south-west coast.
NOPSEMA (AUS safety regulator) says they were killed during drilling from the Stena Clyde platform, about 90 kilometres off Warrnambool, on Monday morning.

The National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environment Management Authority (NOPSEMA) says they were doing work for Stena Drilling, on behalf of Origin Energy, on a well in the Otway Basin in Bass Strait.

Police flew to the rig after the accident.

All work has been suspended and the well has been secured.

NOPSEMA has launched an investigation into the deaths.

Origin says there are no environmental issues as a result of the incident and gas production in the Otway Basin will not be affected.

1 Australian, 1 EU crew member, 1 killed instantly, the other died in flight to Hospital, no other information is available at this time.

Our thoughts to their families & relatives, not what we want to hear from any rig, anywhere........

haha taught to fill the forms only

Hi guys,

I'm a recent graduate in Bac in Eng (Chemical-Gas) and i still din get any job opportunities.

Trying to do some add in value in my CV, i got 2 options:

1. Pursue my edu in Master in Engineering (Gas) which i already had the offer
2. Go for enhancement programme which will take 6 months more or less. There are some programme offered (which i think is suitable for ong ind):
i.Steam Engineer
ii.Welding Engineer
iii.Calib & Instr Tech
iv. PCN-NDT Inspector
v.Engineering operation and maintenance
vi.Vibration technology and management
vii.safety and health officer
viii.PCN welding inspection
ix.panting and corrosion inpector
x.API inspector
xi.Engineering operation and maintenance

for the first option, i think i'm gonna pass coz it will took me 1.5 to 2 years. for the second option, which course that are preferable? suggestions? Or i forget about both options and waiting for a job offer while tanam anggur? *sigh

TWI?

Don't bother with PCN welding inspector almost tak laku unless u gt good cable. do the CSWIP but i believe need 2 year exp. work as a junior qc/pq/ndt etc...to get exp

I'm diploma holder for Manufacturing Engineering and will graduate this september. Can anyone tell me about Welding Inspector ? I planning enter INSEP, for WELDING INSPECTION PCN 3.1 ( 3month training + industrial attactment) ..or continue my degree at UniKL in WELDING QUALITY INSPECTION for 4 years..

which one is better ? thanks

yup LOADS!!! I'm one of them.. or just do what you do best and hang urself out there forthe fish to bite! hehe


You dun have to network with the hiring managers, just make friends and do it without a motive.. be sincere and honset. not just make friends cos you want a job. That's what networking is all about.

The company i'm currently with Hydrodive Offshore International Ltd is in need of a HSE manager. Preferbly those in senior exec position. The job is easy as pie. I've been a HSE manager and a DPa at the same time. now i'm th DPA here which is a really goyang kaki job i ain kiddin man.

Oh yeah the offer is to work in lagos, nigeria and NO its not dangerous at all man. Malaysia has had more cases of hijacking and theft offshore than here man i kid you not! anyways, rotation is 3 months on 1 month off. An annual salary so u get paid during ur time off as well. er.. they provide housing, a cook a cleaner and driver. they give you what you want once u're here to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I've actually decided to stay a bit longer on my current rotation cos i felt bad about staying on leave for 6 weeks instead of 4 but my boss said it does not matter, they company is just happy that u're back. lolx. well another 2 months to go!hehhe.

So those who are interested.. do check out hydrodive's website and apply to the website address. Oh yeah another thing, they expect you to b independant and resourceful so those who dun know how to be that way, dun even try... malaysians who wanna get in well.. good luck, cos they had a malaysian guy here who gv a bad rap to malaysians and i;m trying to fix that. so far ok lah..

Hi All,

In total of 3 years working experience as a sales engineer here (or so call supplier), serving OnG clients at KSB area. Interest to apply "materialsman", would prefer offshore, need some advice any chance to get into this field? Or is there any qualification for this post?

btw i have degree which is not related to OnG.. Appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

is it hard to be selected in those companies?
if the position applied just as graduate trainee?

ok guys.

i got a HND in engineering ( diploma )

PCN UT level 2 ( 3.1, 3.2 )
PCN PT level 2
Irata rope acces lvl 1 ( noob and 0 hours )
BOSET

so, i`m currently looking for a job.
i dont really know which or what path should i go to in the future.
total noob here.

i`m thinking of getting in shut downs, freelance job with my senior friends. just for the experiance.

any advice? thanks

i've degree in petroleum chemistry..which position maybe suits me?
currently i work at chemistry lab.

1st day working in a shipbuilding company. but nth do as i am the 1st qs they hire.. kinda regret to join something new for me..

So, after 1 day you already regret and give up? Than ONG is not suitable to you.

good one from u ICDeadPeople!

i mentioned some time ago, lot of people wanna join o&g (with the mindset don mind the low $ with burdened of jobs. or maybe the mindset already with lot $ in the mind), but never self-evaluated physically & mentally capable or not.
talk is one thing, action is another thing.

Added on September 3, 2012, 11:01 pmthere is no work for me! i wish i have work to do rather than sit there. n by the way, the salary is lower than i work as building construction qs.

You don't ask for jobs. If your free and doesnt have any jobs, you ask whether you can help. Typically if you're new, they may not pass the whole job to you thinking you may need sometime to get a hang on it. No one wants to clean other people's crap. this is reality.

You're the 1st qs? Congrats. You have alot of learning opportunity and pioneer of the company. You get to set up the qs work instruction. Probably set your career path faster than the rest of the people. Becoming the companys 1st qs manager

sorry for complaining. cuz i fresh and i admit i not so mature thinking yet. thx for your words and advice.

Second upper class means what is your CGPA?

SLB engineers min requirement is 3.0

hye all..
is there any vacancy for document controller (DC)? i have 5 years experiance & wanna try the others company..thanks..

Thanks for the reply.Second Upper definitely will more than 3.0,it is between 3.5 to 3.0.But it seem like still very hard to go in OnG industries compare to people with first class,is it?

1st day and dont have work, thats normal. Just make sure you make the effort to find something to do, even just reading a report.
But by the way, i admire you attitude, admit your mistake and not just blaming others. Keep it up.

hi all,

normall how long is the medical checkup result will come out for halliburton? when they normally contact you back?? very runsing

almost 5 years in OnG, every day stress and tension... haiyah..... from project sale til now multipurpose (sourcing, tech assist, acting project manager) got better pay last time, jan 2012-march 2013, but working environment like hell, i left that company, located at PKFZ. too many politicking, salary not P&C. damn. even cleaner also know my salary.

Biasalah.. 1st day.. MMHE?

mmhe don't have qs before?

anyone heard of TL Geohydrografic and what is the job scope of survey engineer??

Hi all,

I'm still can't decide whether I should go for Chiyoda's interview for Junior Engineer position. It is stated clearly that minimum 3 years are needed if we accept the offer. I am JPA scholar and I'm afraid that I will called for government service during the period of working. Any advice? Thank you.

What position you applied for? Wireline? Sperry drilling?

Hey to the folks who are living at Labuan, which telco is better Maxis or Celcom in terms of broadband (3G), voice and coverage.
Thanks.

get Celcom.

sometimes, near south china sea when using maxis speaking with someone, one can listen "voice..no voice...voice...no voice..." from your speaker for the conversation. so most of the times, i will switch to my another phone using celcom when at labuan. so far stationed at there long time ago 3 months using celcom data plan very good transfer rate especially midnight. just hope no raining. if raining, the signage may not good.
celcom the best choice for among the 3 telcos at labuan in term of coverage at present.

thanks in advance...

Hi.
I'm also a JPA scholar.JPA funded me for 4 years during my years in Japan.
Based on my experience, they will not 'call' u. U still hv to go thru the same process as everybody else.
Apply SPA, went for the tests, interviews n so on.
Most of my friends who got offered to work with govt are now working with them.
But there are some who rejected the offer coz they are already working elsewhere n making big bucks.
So, IMHO go for Chiyoda.
Cheers!

I am interested to know what is the salary range for an engineer with around 6 years experience in oil and gas for company like petronas / shell?

Hello everyone,

I am from civil engineering background and I wish to join oil and gas industry. However, from what I have read in oil and gas v1, v2 and v3 there weren't much civil engineers who have the opportunities to go offshore to work (information based on my extent of knowledge). Oil and gas industry hires mostly mechanical engineers, chemical engineers and petroleum engineers. Civil engineers are usually the minority in the industry who are required to work onshore and have little chance to be posted to work offshore.

So, I am wondering what kind of position would provide higher chances for civil engineers to be posted to offshore to work? For example, geotechnical engineer, structural engineer, etc (branch from civil engineering background). How about pipeline engineer? Other than pipeline engineer? Thanks a lot
