read again his word.

highest paying service company.

assume to be "oil n gas service company", I thought Baker Hughes pays betteR?

Do not be ignorance.
This is "oil n gas career" thread. Not investment or what. Stick to the topic.



I remember christine85 get a lot offer d, not sure which one to choose. Check few pages back.

blasturanus, good luck on other companies interview during the TEC.

It doesn't really matter "minority" or what.

You gonna be earning a lot more than my friends in USM Main Campus (your batch).

she's enkardirmainbola. go PM her.

btw its RM4k or USD4k?

ya, agree.
RM4k is not a lot nowadays, even USD4k isn't a lot.....considering depreciation value of USD.....
usually they targetting Asian coz uSD4k to us a lot....but to develoved country people, that's seem normal.

I know someone working in Fugro, getting RM8k basic, yet to include allowance. He's pretty young, around 25-year-old.

well, malay, malaysian
after allowance everything, its more than RM20k/month.

pay isn't everything, if you not enjoying your work, you won't be long there.
Offshore work sometime its not about mental fitness, its about physical fitness.

Sitting in the shell looking at the ROV? for constantly 15hours? or 24hours if need intensive monitoring.

That's why they pay pretty well, for Asian it seem very good pay.

You should be able to hit 6 figure/month when u around 40, if u still with them

try to check if other company using the same technology as SLB.
or else u may need start all over again

Not all students would prefer to have interview during career fair as there are many other potential companies as well.
I have seniors who decided not to go SLB interview coz it took long time and missed out other good companies where their interview shorter in duration.

Somehow, it should be a good experience as said to be among the tedious interview

And kevin1mil, how you get the chance to interview b4 the career fair? just by sending form online? share with us.

kevinling, I'm not asking you

Ya that's for USM...only 3.....but when u have more than 10 oil n gas companies there.....different case

Ya, that's what I'm gonna do next year. Would prefer oil n gas installation companies, would want some site experience

Christine, even though we enter uni at the same batch but u grad a year earlier than I do........ah.....
can't wait to join the working world, time for a change

Universiti Teknologi Petronas - Mechanical Engineering.
Internship now, should join the "world" next year June/July

what they gonna do with the balls and stick anyway?

Technip, RWP, MMC, RNZ, Intec, Pegasus, JP Kenny, Aker Kvaerner
Exxonmobil, Shell, Petronas, Talisman, Murphy Oil, Nippon Oil
MMHE, SDE, Ramunia, Kencana, Brooke
Global Offshore, TL Offshore, Mcdermott
Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Haliburton

General Electric Oil n Gas, Aramis, Dialog.......

tons of them !!!!

do a google yourself about the company location, spoonfeed is not the culture here.

pc123, UTP Petroleum Engineering should be a good course. Its pretty similiar to mechanical engineering if you ask me. At least the basic of mechanical engineering covered in PE programme outline.
Working in Petronas? why Petronas when there are so many companies out there?

Being a petronas scholar in UTP, especially Petroleum Engineering may not be a good thing when u review back after u grad.

HR = Human Resources.

I'm from UTP, undergo my internship now.
I have met a lot seniors who holding the scholarship.
At first when I joined in UTP and I din get the scholarship, well I was a bit "unhappy" or disappointing but I don't find it that way anymore now.
A lot oil n gas companies nowadays do not take Petronas scholars as their interns, nor permanent staff.
Simply because most of them will be called by Petronas and work where ever Petronas "throw" them at, other companies will not want to train a student on behalf of petronas, right?

I have seniors, high scorers in E&E, now working as trader/procurement personnel in Petronas subsidiary, some in marketing, some in HR.
Those lucky one get into oil n gas sector but how many are lucky? Small amount only.

Let say you stayed in HR for 10 years to serve the bond, do you think you can switch back to engineering line by then?

If not mistaken, UTP has risen the tuition fee which mean now 1 year scholarship = 3 years bond.
Fellow UTPians, correct me if I'm wrong.

There's always option to break the bond, pay one lump sum.
I have seniors did that, who get offer from SLB/Baker Hughes.
I rather consider paying back PTPTN by installment than one lump sum to Petronas
If you holding JPA/MARA scholarship in UTP, then u are safe.

IMO, its always good to take up the scholarship if you have no intention to join oil n gas, if you have intention for it. Think again.
In the company I'm at now, a lot senior engineers told me not to join Petronas in the future, go to other companies. They were from Petronas previously.

If u a non-petronas scholar in UTP, you stand a very high chance to join oil n gas sector.
Check this URL, how many oil n gas companies came to UTP few weeks ago for career fair.

I'm 'working' in office now, crapster used to do so. You can consult him about the "office" atmosphere as most of them here are offshore people.
Consultant, fabrication, installation, servicing, client, maintenance (integrity management) = Oil n Gas

p/s : Sorry for my messy post.

Well if you are bonded and want to hop always from petronas,
its either break the bond or your future company willing to buyout your "bond".
Unless you know someone in ESU, who can "release" you from the bond

Beside that, what else could it be?
Many of UTP students would glad to know that

Apply through the website.
There should be a column for "student internship application" under "Job & Careers".

For internship, its really depend on luck.
You may pass the interview which is easy if you ask me but u may not get any placement at all............ [ I'm one of them....no placement, don't pass so many people.....give people false hope]

They will ask you where you interested to base at during the phone interview.

I have a friend passed the SRD.
Shell want him but he said he hope to stay in the current company to learn for a bit more time.
Shell willing to wait for him, at least for the time being.
Basically an offer letter without date, not sure how long will offer last still though.


christine85, I know a project manager just quited from my company Miri branch. He complained life in Miri just too slow, can't use to it.

pc123, I'm not quite sure how the petronas scholarship (convertable loan) running in UTP. I don't think christine can answer you on that, she's in USM.

As far as I know, when u receive the offer to study in UTP, it comes with the scholarship. So take it or lose both.

Your best bet will be, take the scholarship if you get into UTP, do well in your study.
Pray hard that you don't get recommended by Petronas and they willing to release you for a small amount of fee.

Else, take loan/starting saving now to pay back the loan when you ready to break the bond.

If you joining UTP without petronas scholarship, you still stand a chance to grab JPA/Mara[if u are bumiputra] scholarship which usually unlikely to be bonded.

Think about it after you receive the offer.
If you joining UTP this july, find me while I'm still there

If you ask me, I would join Exxonmobile
unless F-secure really give u what u want to study.

Since u already made the decision, do not doubt yourself.

In oil n gas sector, not only offshore work pay well.
Even office based pay well too
