oh..hai..i have some questions..

- in the website right are we external candidates or university recruit?
- their interviews in malaysia or in the respective country like britain...?
-as a fresh graduate how should we apply?

thanks...

Fresh grad - BHI usually not too active with on-campus recruitment drive. Better luck if you apply online, or even better yet, manage to pull some strings to have a short interview session with the regional HR manager. If position is required elsewhere in another country, you might get called to attend an interview in that particular country itself. Under the corporate webpage http://www.bakerhughes.com/recruitlink - you will be considered external candidate, since that website serves current employees too who intends to transfer elsewhere or seek different positions.

does anyone here know Dimension Bid?

i heard basic salary for Junior Field Engineer is RM3000 + offshore allowance RM120/day. once u'r confirmed (within 6 months), ur basic is revised to RM3500 and RM180/day offshore allowance.

is it really that good?
*
Not really a good deal. Joining big boys like SLB, Haliburton, BHI has its benefits. Their technology is more proven and mature, so you as a field engineer running a service will have a better time. Besides, the pay is also much better. Basic in Middle East region is around US$1500 per month (whether you work or not, you'll get it), and dayrate on rigsite is US120 for trainee. If you break out from trainee is an independent low-grade field engineer, you're looking at a starting dayrate of US$200~250! Go figure...

Go prepared! Research what they do, what industry they are in, what service / product they provide, sales figure, market share etc. Demonstrate that you're keen and you did your homework. Have some prior work case history to present to reinforce key strength that they are looking for. Here's a tip: integrity, teamwork, learning and performance - these are BHI core values.

You will usually get sent for a defensive driving course even though you already have a valid Malaysian driving license, especially when you need to operate company leased / rented vehicles and wireline-trucks! On top of that, certain countries don't recognize our Malaysian driving license and hence you need your company to sponsor your (RM100) an international driving permit from JPJ.

Sad, but generally I think what PinkDalmation said is TRUE. However, there are still ways. The matter is getting into the industrial sector first, and you ought not to be picky if you don't have nice results on paper to back it up, i.e. start off with a lower position and work your way up. Most of these companies invest heavily on training and development of human capital. Go for a mud logging or mud engineer position and gather some experience. With experience, you can chuck aside and downplay the lower GPA on your next interview.

Want to know how they treat you in training? You simply CANNOT fail. They can send you to Aberdeen, Germany, Houston for training and it's all FREE and no BOND/CONTRACT attached. However, if you FAIL, you're FIRED!

Siemens is one of them. And then other companies like Emerson, Yokogawa and Honeywell are also supplying DCS systems.

Can I know further normally which part of control using Siemens DCS system? Is it one platform can have combination of several different DCS system from Emerson, Yokogawa, Honeywell, Siemens? If so, can I know their part of control respectively? smile.gif

Some DCS co,claim they can inter-operate each other,however mostly get prob when they try to interface the DCS from different brand.that's is why most of the operator prefer to use same DCS for the entire platform and their instrument also use the same brand,i.e BOA platform,they use same DCS and field instrument from same brand. Nowadays most platform prefer use yokogawa,because cheaper that others.

It seems to be a very good opportunity for a fresh grad to get into the OnG industry. Of course, the catch is you need to have a UK work permit. Chances are higher for EU citizens.

That's right Z - DD gets around US$600/day starting rate and that was the rate 2.5 years ago!

If anyone willing to work in riskier countries like Nigeria and Saudi, get extra 25% too!!!

Training can be pretty harsh for 3 months straight with weekly exams! Even though you pass, the lower 50%, will tend to F**K big time in the field causing loss and risking being run-off by the client! No kidding. The other 50%, kinda barely hanging in there, struggle to hold their tower (slang for shift) for the first 3 months. That's how it is for newbies... You can imagine, couple that with some highly-stressed environment, recipe for disaster laa!

Yeah, they still pay you per diem (for makan), half the rigsite day rate, your basic - and of course, your transport and housing/accomodation is taken care off already.

No, you are absolutely wrong.
Geophysics has two main discipline (atleast ONG), one is processing geophysicist and one is what we called.... geophysicist, or seismic interpretor. Processing geophysicist is a guy who process seismic data to create a readable data so the geophysicist can interprete those data. The PG dont need you to have a proper geophysics degree (but it will help you alot). You need to have a good computer skills and some basic knowledge on geology. For SI you need to have one of GNG related degree. That's why its pay more and demand is high.
Again, for those people who are looking into ONG industry, dont just aimed for the big guns (slb, hally, exxon, shell etc). There is a lot other small company which can give you proper training to equip you later in the future. Heck, you can even work as a mudlogger first, after afew years become a wellsite geologist.
