Did include the last comment in the first post. cheers

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.

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.

Good idea. Done.

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........

Operations Engineer

Sorry, cant disclose the name of company because this is an indirect acquisition, means we are not hiring through proper channels.

Position is based in KL though/

I know one man from Petronas who worked his way up as a painter to a Dril Sup if the news encourages you.

That's was like 20 yrs ago..it's already hard to climb the ladder without a proper academic qualification, but you know in O&G anything can happen if you are strong and determined enough.

They only have one exploration rig in Malaysia. Just finished their first well. Currently exploration activities halted due to some reason i dunno. Not so sure about downstream though.

Life in Total is good.

Remuneration package in TOTAL is quite good. Don't exactly know the figures but I have heard good feedbacks regarding salary.

The drilling team is HUGE so the workload is not so burdening compared to other operators. Plus, they are known to handle things "really" slow and easy and like to do it right the first time rather than rushing and fixing things.

An article like this does not paint the real picture of what is happening inside Petronas. One just need to step into one of Petronas offices and look around to see the reality.

Then again, was Petronas even mentioned in that article?

Drilling consultant.In Landmark?

Nice title for a RTO cable guy!
