Hi guys, I have a question here regarding graduate studies...

I just graduated this July (civil engineering) and now working on a client side based in KL...sometimes I do travel outstations for weeks..

I wish to further my studies at masters level...partly because two of my superiors in my company are currently doing part time Master in science (petroleum eng) in utm...I've shortlisted two courses...one is Masters in Science ( Offshore Tech) in NUS and the other being Masters in Petroleum Eng in UTM...both of them are taught-course based...

what do you guys recommend? should I go for it? Will the masters help in my future career?

I'm still a graduate in my company and there's no specific role for me..hence I would like to take this opportunity to study ..unlike my colleagues now who are so busy working and studying...he recommended me to start now..since junior guys have less responsibility..

Hai all the oil and gas taiko here,

Quick one, I wish to learn more including those basic knowledge about oil and gas chiller package, I googled and found not much help. If anyone of you has any documents or any sites I may read on, please do share with me. Thanks much.

hey guys...it's me again, i have a question..

why for shop drawings, there exists two types of drawings, one is "normal" shop drawings and another is NDE shop drawings..

Can anyone explain to me what is NDE and what are the differences of both drawings? thanks.

hey bro..thanks...i think u're right...because I asked someone and they said the same things too..NDE drawings have welding joint details on the drawings..

I'm looking for one too...btw heriot-watt having distance study using internet all this while, but I do not prefer this way, I prefer attending physical classes with real lecturers..

I've emailed heriot-watt not too long ago, and they told me that Msc in PE will be offered in its msia campus putrajaya in late 2013...I don't know you aware or not, heriot-watt have a branch campus in msia besides in dubai...and the new campus will be ready in 2013..

for other options, you can try UTM or UTP. UTM classes are held during weekends at KL..classes are from 8 am to 5 pm every weekends sat and sun. LoL so you'll be needing lots of discipline ...the fees is around 15k-20k for the whole course..cheapest option...and most of my colleagues are taking it in utm

anytime...hhaha

Hi guys, any process engineer here? I have a question to ask.

Why do we need CHILLER EQUIPMENTS on an oil platform? From what I found, it is to chill the process gas in order to meet export requirement. Can anyone give me more functions and usage of chiller package on an offshore facility?

Thanks.

Someone told me that chiller is used to cool the gas so that it will "dry" the gas...as gases need to be totally free of liquid when entering the compressor...somehow I was told that hot gas will cause condensation and hence making the gas "wet"...lol...just need some scientific explanation..thanks!

hi...quick one..

Can anyone give me the function of Hydrostatic Collapse Ring on the legs of jacket...

any Structural Engineers around here? hehe..thanks much
