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.

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

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.

Well, actually leap energy is a malaysian based consultant company, project mainly doing fdp. They just opened a branch in Brisbane.
Working environment i would say good, though can be demanding sometimes. But you can learn alot of stuff there.

Serious because too long in offshore kot...
Chillex......
In other news, more and more malaysian joining adco in abu dhabi. I guess they realized now that Malaysian technical skills is up to international standard.

Words from managers in adco said they currently desperate to fill vacancies for drillers, geomodellers, reservoir engineers and petrophysicist. So anyone interested can send your resume to them.

Hmmm... Aramco eh? Right now i heard quite number of 'downside' if i were to join them. Any comment on this? How do you compare with living in abu dhabi.
Im not thinking of moving now anyway, just planning for future...

Ill help you answer this, but you also need to google abit.

Geoscience:
Basically consist of geology and geophysics. In ONG terms, atleast in malaysia, geoscientist is person who do both geology and geophysics work, especially for fresh grad since he/she dont have any speciality yet.

Petroleum geophysics: simple answers is person who interprate seismic data to produce seismic horizon and faults.
Petrophysics: Person who interprate log data to come up with reservoir rock property, ie saturation, porosity, net sand, etc.

Interms of work, petrophysics usually involve directly in operation. Geos, depends what type of geos u are (geomodeler, dev. geologist/geophysicist, ops. geologist, etc).
Interms of prospectivity, I guess right now everywhere is short of any discipline. But I do notice that petrophysics and geophysics are extra difficult to get.

Hows your grade? The thing is your discipline is quite general, not like petroleum engineer, etc. So you have to compete with alot more candidates, and you need to have something different in your resume to make yourself stands out. For instance, why should I hire a candidate with civil engineering background from u.s, when I have someone else with petroleum engineering degree from utm? It will save me alot of time to train them.
Another thing is, just be patient. I got called for interview 4 months after I graduated. Also I went for another interview 1 year after I submitted my application. Apparently they do keep your resume and call you when there is vacancy.

Hmm... I never know uzma got drilling/wireline department
As far as i know uzma is consultant company.
Petrofac is operator, uzma is consultant. What do you think?

As a first job, I guess its good. But I suggest you develop your skills so you can go somewhere else. Site survey geophysicist is dead end job. Its very difficult to venture to other area that pays more, i. e exploration or development geophysicist.

I was involved in serendah fdp, and doing well for patricia.
Small field dev. for Murphy.

4 to 6 meters of waves ehh?
I was in a site survey boat for a week in sarawak, 2m waves, I muntah the whole week. Really have a weak stomach.

And you believe all that have been said in kopitiam?

True mate. I always wonder this kind of people who likes to blame race, gomen, hantu, etc before looking at themselves....

Sometimes people misinterpreted what cable means in ong. For me, if a friend asking me if I can recommend him for a job, and I know technically he is good, vast experience and what not, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't proposed him to my boss. I don't think anyone would recommend someone which is not capable to work, since it would effect his reputation later down the road.
And I truly believe all ong seniors here never used inappropriate 'cabling' method to achieve their goal.
Chillex, weekend is coming....

Archeologists? The one who look for ruins and stuff? Never heard any archeologist in OnG sector.

Which company are you currently? I was with a company doing purely processing, after a year, i jumped to operator since i cant see much career progession if i stuck doing processing. Processing geophysicist is only needed in sevice company, so not much money in it.
If you are doing seismic interpretation, than you are in a right path. You can join operators or consultants later down theroad.
Technical knowledge is more important than software knowledge, since most software is pretty much similar interms of how it works.

Operators dont need processing geophysicist, as i mentioned before. They do however need seismic interpretor.
So, if i were you, try to plan you way so you end up become SI.
