my colleage got offer frm 1 of the oil n gas company frm middle east, offer him
USD900 per day, but he didnt go, bcoz he dun want to sacrifi his family.

geoscientist

then u must be a rich man son.......nowonder can buy lotsa of man utd jersey....

proven reserves will exhaust soon, so need to search for the new reservoirs at local and oversea.... but the competition is very tight...need to fight with other mnc... so siapa cepat dia dapat, juz like the case between china and japan.

do you think a PR/Management fresh grad like me can get job in this field? I willing to take MAJOR RISKS

PR dont have to face any risks on this field, only office work ma

if i work in semiconductor field for few years then looking for new job in Oil & Gas Career
is it acceptable?

Aiyoo, 20 years later youj earned alot liao lah... Some more I dun think you will stay there more than 10 years ..

don't forget, we are a muslim country, got friends in Middle East mah. Haha...like that I go apply for PR job in Petronas once I graduate.

This is the best time to go into oil/gas industry....especially offhsore job.
Like forrest said...competition is tight. Which means they are digging everywhere. Means more work. Means more moolah!

Daily allowance is excellent once you're experienced...say 4-5yrs. Tat's why alot of them would like to work offshore.

In malaysia...will last a decade more. Whole world is still roughly 3-4 decade. Better join the chase now.

Once you take on an desk job in oil/gas....your salary kena potong ALOT! no more daily allowance. There's this guy my bro told me...working in wireline for 20+ yrs. Driving Porsche Cayman S....got a Ferrari parked at his garage!! woohoo!

Let's just say that it's a very competitive field. Of course, it's not as stabil as other jobs. You might have a job today, but you might not have a job tomorrow depending on how it goes.

You have to be very qualified to get a job in this field. Management people get a whole lot more if we're talking salary because they're running the whole deal. And like I said, it's a dangerous job. You get bonuses for it though.

Just remember one thing, if you do work in this field. Be prepared to be away from your family for a very long time. Most people don't get cushy jobs in Petronas getting to take normal leave and go home to their families everyday.


I'm not rich. I'm a poor guy earning a normal wage in KL

then, does anyone know how to get into oil and gas company??
must got relation?? or read paper for vacancy??

read the paper.
or can surf thru jobstreet

I don't think jobstreet got any posting last i checked. If there is postings oso will only have those positions such as geoscientist, engineers and desk jobs.

To get into those jobs in the offshore, u need to expand your searches overseas. Or go to petronas or shell websites.

Ask forrest to help u get in....if possible?
what say u forrest?

send your resume through the company website... im juz a small employee in tht company...

does oil & gas company accept candidate who work in other engineering field for a few years?
or they mostly hire fresh graduate?

normally they like freshie... but you can try your luck

I'm totally not related to oil/gas. I major in Computer science...heh heh. What are the odds eh...computer ---> drilling

working in oil&gas field consists of many parts.. the salary depends on which area u involve.. construction, consultation, procurement, engineering design, exploration, drilling, resevoiretc.. if onshore work, u'll get less pay, but u r close 24hrs to ur family, car, gf, lowyat, klcc, mamak, etc.. if offshore work or to be based oversea, u'll get better pay bcos of the allowance, but u'll sacrify and be missing ur family, car, foods, midvalley, gf, etc..

Freshies are mostly for Petronas/Shell. But you certainly won't be working offshore and making the big bucks. LOL

Engineering? Well, the only thing I can think off is Chemical Engineering which is highly sought after in this field. Getting a good post (which is basically non Petronas/Shell) Gotta have connections.
