Wha qualifications do you have and in which line do yu intend to enter the oil n gas industry. Perhaps a bit more specifics would help us narrow it down regarding info in the oil & gas industry. Not all of it is good.

At Pxxxxxxs, everyone have the same benefit, everyone have alot of chances to do training, etc... juz salary not the same... high risk job (at oil rig) and high position (manager etc) will get high salary...for sure..

Interested in getting a job in Oil&Gas Industry.

Well, good interest.

Oil & Gas industry is regarded as one of the highest paid industry.

I'm working with a travel agency and I'm dealing with sales from Oil & Gas companies.

Got to know many of them - engineers, and they are earning on average RM 5000 above a month.

Managerial level pays about RM 15,000 per month.

Example, a Rig Manager can pull in an income of RM 17,000 a month in this company I know. WOW!.. Impressive, thats like more than my one year salary.! smile.gif

But, think of it.

Bring a rig manager, you need to take care of an offshore rig of more than 500 people.
You need to ensure the safety, their traveling needs, their trainings, their well beings in general.

Any problem is YOU only. SO why the high pay? There is a HIGH Risk.

Even those working on the rig. They can pull in RM 500 average a DAY! I mean a DAY!... Wow... impressive huh..

phew.. nice huh.. so go.. work with Shell, or ExxonMobil.. haha

my bro is in the oil n gas, just started not long ago. Petronas is good for those not looking for hard work.

It's better to go abroad for offshore work, they pay very well, for instance...basic RM9000, DAILY offshore allowance ranges from RM 300 to RM 700. (estimate for trainee engineer in wireline)

Some of them earns like RM 30k to RM40k a month. It's not exactly a high risk job...since they are very very particular about safety.

Although i'm in the IT industry now...planning to go abroad soon to join the black gold industry....hehe...hope can reel in the big bucks!

er.. lolx 17k? dude try being a sailor, Marine navigator, there is shortage of them Worlwide.

And guess how much is the lowest paid in Malaysia right now? Lowest paid marine Captain is offered by a company in Miri and it is only 27K per month. However, almost no marine capt would sink that low to get a job. They might have upped it a bit the past few months.

So that would be ur best bet. Go be a marine captain then ppl will come look for you.

Overall petronas is just a safe option for ppl who wanna work in oil and gas, working there would be just like in the gov lah lolx all relax only lolx. But in the end you won't learn much.

And this remark, I've heard from quite a number of seniors in the Industry. They have been working for more than 40 yrs in the Oil and Gas industry and are still called back in as consultants, etc. cos the new breed of workers dun seem to know anything apparently lolx

Im not agree smile.gif
The ppl who work with relax are that particular person's attitude, not all employee have tht attitude.
although petronas is part of goverment but it actually work as a private company.

The training courses that provide for the employees is one of the best in the world, can u imagine the company can spend rm30K on a person to do training? (a year)

But i do agree tht u said the company is a safe place to work.

ALL oil and service companies spend a bomb on training their new employees. For instance...trainees in weatherford are sent to scotland or canada for training. So does schlumberger.

Keeps me wondering what will happen if Malaysia's oil fields are exhausted. Heard that all of the oil fields will dry up in about 20 years.

I have a senior who graduated and worked for 2 years already, he is in one of the oil and gas company too.

He's earning basic USD4k a month, then plus daily allowance, project completion bonus, adds up all, he gets around USD10k a month. He already has 3 property, getting his fourth one soon.

Another senior of mine, graduated 6 months earlier than me, he oso in oil and gas. Getting around RM700 a day as a field engineer.

My dad has been in the oil and gas industry for more than 26 years. He's in management at the moment and it's a little dangerous. Depends on where you're based, and all that. Great pay though.
