Hi everyone, I'm currently working as an admin officer which is totally irrelevant to my major in geology. There are a lot of jobs in O n G industries awaiting for geologist BUT only senior geophysicist or senior geologist is eligible to apply, all of those require at least 5 years working experiences in related field. It's just driving me despair. My question is, is there any demand for an entry-level geologist? Any suggestions to get me into any of the O n G company? Send hard copy of resume? Write up a good cover letter? What else can I do? I've tried Shell (failed), Petronas (failed), Nippon Oil (nearly succeed), others like SLB prefer degree in geophysics. Help me !!! I don't wanna spend the rest of my life 'upgrade' myself becoming an ADMIN MANAGER  sweat.gif

Well, Im not a project engineer so I cant say how much. But if you are an engineer in O&G sector and you've been offered that kind of salary as an expart which is basically almost similar to a fresh graduate geologist with master in australia, than I think its rather small.

I think this position is based in Malaysia not australia,just that the recruiting company is from australia...sorry for stating the obvious...correct me if im wrong though

You mean this comment is not meant to say my deskjob got shitty pay?
Mate, I think you did not really understand what im trying to say. I only using the manager argument as a reference to make a discussion more understandable (looks like it didnt work). The main point is people who make decision, such as RE, G&G and other desk sitters also is sought after and quite rare, thus making them high earners in this industry, not just operation people in offshore.
Again, I never argue people working offshore earns alot, I really agree with it, but I couldnt really understand why it is hard for you to atleast accept that SOME deskjob do earn more than SOME offshore workers, just like been mentioned by other forumers here. Just because you never saw it doesnt mean its not possible. Like I said, dont limit your view on just the area you are familiar with. O&G is pretty vast for you to understand everything.

You know what, I think I'll just make my own conclusion here so we can end this pointless discussion. Offshore people do earns alot (never doubt that), but SOME desk sitters can earn similar if not higher than SOME offshore workers.

And the RM6-9k for experience project engineer is still considered too low for me (this what we discussing about right?)
*
Im not too sure about this,but when you mention experience,you really have to put how much experience you are talking about,is it 3 to 5 years experience or 10 to 15 years experience.....,for me rm6K to 9K sound reasonable for people with 3 to 5 years of experience,but it is definitely too low for someone with 10 to 15 years of experience.

Well i know there are lots of RE ,Geos,Petrophysicst being paid handsomely in Malaysia(even more than average income of people who work offshore with same level of experience),but those are for people with more than 10 years experience .....just my 2 cents

Hello all,

I've been offered Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Technology in Process in UniKL. I would like to know if whether this cause can enable me to get into oil & gas industry? Can anyone answer me. And, if I can get into O&G with this cause, would i probably end up in upstream or downstream? I would prefer upstream than the later. I haven't accept their offer yet, as I am still in the stage of deciding which course is the best for me..
Anyone can answer  icon_question.gif

That course is more into oil and gas downstream industry,petrochemical processing.But of course you can still join upstream field operation when you graduate,since they just need an engineering degree.
