Probably we're on the platform for only a few days. But we had to work fast to complete our works on the platform due to the short stay. Food was plenty, only the quality had not been as good as before like in the 90's. Cut cost punya hal...

you need to differentiate between food QUANTITY and food QUALITY. you were referring to food QUANTITY offshore, but i was talking of food QUALITY. yes, it's true that food QUANTITY is no issue on the platforms, there's alway plenty of food to go around. but the food QUALITY had gone down, not necessarily bad, but not as good as before.

usually only 2-3 weeks max for me, cannot tahan more than that cos away from gf and family

Wow..OK...haha...i will work hard to achieve my dream of working in O n G... yeah, its true to a certain extent, cos i see, even in my colg, oni 4 guys have an intention of majoring in Petroleum Engineering.

I have a QS background with experience 12 years before,
but, never involve with any O&G before....

I try to search any source or reading material about it & hard to find (such handbook with illustration) ... so if anybody have it appreciate could you share with me...

oh ya... I'm in charged for HUC work.. 

Cheers...

Hai,
Not sure if this is the right thread to post my question, but would appreciate any help. Im currently finding a place to carry out my industrial training(Mechanical Eng). My CGPA is lower than 3 (almost 3 but not quite there yet). Im really interested in the Oil and Gas industry more towards drilling. Just wondering, what are my chances. Which company can I apply? And also I am a female. Does this lower my chances?
