i just want to know what its like there? what i would need to bring with me and what i can easily get..considering that ive never even seen a rig in my entire life, i cant imagine what its going to be like.. i heard for testing you get to spend most of the time in the base, but the guy who told me is a newbie as well so both of us are just guessing..
and what about food? internet connection? just anything that can be of help, im leaving on wednesday!

Yo, take it slow bro.
From your message, it seems a job to avoid big time. Mind to describe your experience on the geoservices? Either good or bad of it that made you to state the above statement.

Do anyone hear about this company for doing engineering work in oil & gas field?


SS-Tech Engineering Sdn Bhd
No. 5G, The PJ Highway Centre,
Jalan 51/205, 46050 Petaling Jaya,

well basically hr is the same for all companies
u recruit ppl and deal with works regarding employment
just google over the net

i had a senior who breached petronas's contract to join shell and he has to pay 100k over a fortnight. so go figure.

well imho, u can try applying thru the respective websites for each o&g company. they are listed on the 1st post. big2 companies such as exxon, shell, petronas or even service companies such as slb, baker hughes, etc seldom put their jobs ad online via jobstreet, etc.

That doesn't mean anything.
Shell is surely a better company compared to Petronas (as most people said) but still depend on the job prospect, the position in the company etc.

Working in operating company. Prospect?
Working in consultant. Prospect?
Working in installation company. Prospect?
Working in service company. Prospect?

Thus, its very hard to a conclusion just based on an example.
MAybe the UTP senior love Shell so much? where his gf/wife there?

To some people, 100k isn't a big amount.
Some petronas scholar I know in UTP, their father damn rich !!!

hello..i would like to ask for an advice...
if i have been working for 1-2mnths after i graduated, should i state it in the CV if i plan to apply to other jobs in the same industry? or should i just say that im fresh grad? just worried that companies might think im job hopper

thanks

wanna ask.
normally, how much do marine engineer for oil tanker will be paid?
coz i got sponsorship from AET(formerly known as American Eagle Tanker).
i'll be sent to to work as a marine engineer onboard one of their vessel.

anyone have any experience/info regarding this company?

question:

where do i start as a fresh grad if i wanna go deeper into oil & gas? its hard for a chem eng 2.2 student =(

Anybody in Dubai this weekend???

I am also working for Qatar, any info needed, you're welcome to ask Pinkdalmation. Currently, I am between both Qatar and UAE, and I am currently stuck in Dubai.

Among those guys who get better pay on the rig: company man (obviously), mud engineer, field engineer running fishing, whipstocks, cementing, wireline, MWD/LWD

Can be heavy lifting a bit, but you can leave a lot to cranes and roughnecks, floorhands and roustabouts to handle. Some days, when drilling is fine, you just sit around in front of the computer, doing logs and paperwork. Other days when all hell break loose, things fail, you would get really busy! I am speaking from a Logging While Drilling (LWD) engineer's point of view.

There will be months of sandstorms. Be wary of that. It can be really COLD during nights in winter. Hard to get taxi, and they will FFK even if you book them through phone! Good to liase with a private taxi driver and keep his mobile phone number handy! House rental, 8x the price in Malaysia! It's a hell-hole to live in, in a sorry state.

If you head out to land-rigs, tough time! It'll be Indian food everyday, guaranteed you a day or two of diarrhea. If offshore, you'd be luckier. You'll be either working for BP, Shell, Maersk, RasGas or Qatar Petroleum. Which one?

may i know how do you apply to baker atlas or baker hughes? coz i can't find its relevant contact email..also is civil engr qualified in this company?

I apply to Baker Atlas through JOBSTREET only, and I dont have any idea they accept or npt for Civil,but if U talked about consultant and fabricator side,yes,they are looking for Civil people,cause you maybe attach to Structure Dept..I know this because actually now I'm in consultant as Instrument Engineer.
