Thanks for ur tips, but mines nt really related, its abt electrical grounding.... What else do the oil n gas comps look for when they hire a fresh grad?
I know a guy he join schlumberger wif dip and his dip was in electrical...but i nt so close wif him... any one from electrical background join oil n gas here?

currently got one big project at malaysia if i'm not mistaken...that one at johor...
others i'm not sure..some offshore n deepwater project also got...
the rest all overseas project...singapore, papua new guinea, indonesia, china etc.
once u been in technip, u will know turkmenistan project...
i was there from 2007 until now...

How old are these geoscientist and geologist?

Isit? but as for field engineer. I heard from my frein hv to start from graduatepack engineer then moved on to junior enigneer then only to field engineer. Its a long way to land into field engineer. Hmph.. i duno how true is this?  So that means for HVAC in o&g i will be joining company like exxon mobil, shell or juz some small servicing company for o&g. Plz enlighten me.. I really ned help.    
     

ok..thanx guys..
nway..here is my situation..
going for interview next week wit deleum berhad for sales engineer post..
they r dealing with o & g exploration n it's all about gas turbine..
one thing i wondering is besides Petronas (PSC), who else shud b their target market? any one can help me?

Gas turbines = bad for your ears and irritates the shit out of me. Solar = but can use for small stuff nia.

The position is more support staff than front liner HR/Legal/Accounts, unfortunately not many ppl know about YOKOGAWA.

Did some research, they do all kinds of rubbish but unfortunately to a lay man like me... absolutely clueless!

This may sound stupid... anyway...

Had to ask, what on earth does Yokogawa do?

is it all malaysian o&g company practice PSC?

ppl who involve directly in o&g know bout this..
gov wont tell public as this will suffer them on next PRU..

p/s: i shudn't tell u this.. 

From most of the top managers in Petronas & oil services provider company.
This is why Toyota introduced Prius!

depster666:
Laugh if u want..
I just sharing d information that I know.
& I am 100% sure that both my relatives, a SM in Petronas & a GM in a PSC, n some O&G CEO's didn't shitting me bout that fact.
We had discussed this thing since few mths ago.

To ICDeadPeople:
I think I never said that o&g will collapse very soon.
Or else i won't join the existing PSCs company at 1st place..Haiz..

Anyway, it's up 2 u guys. I never force u to trust me. I dun make any profit with it. Haiz..
I strongly encourage whoever wanna join this industry.
Seriously, this is very promising industry to build up ur career.

p/s: To LeechFever: Hybrid is just a beginning. Prius is just a very simple eg to understand. Not to mention other alt energy like biogas. They wont come up with all these things at 1st place if they have same thinking like u. HERE is very simple article bout RE.

If you're talking about earlier this year till 3rd quarter, yes. Some projects came into halt as crude oil prices were low. I'd even seen drilling engineers sitting on their desk praying for new offshore job. Now some of the projects are slowly pacing up. SM & GM are probably talking about the annual achievement correct me if I'm wrong. E&P team should know better on the condition of our oil reserves.

Everyone is talking about alternative source of energy. If you're thinking hybrid is the next big thing, then you're wrong. Look back on the whole vehicle. See which type of energy source is it generating power from. It will only run on electric current when it's cruising. When there is demand on power, the combustion engine will fire up. To me the best engine to work with is diesel engine. Why? your homegrown vegetable oil mixed with some caustic soda can produce diesel fuel. Plus, there is no loss in power.

dealing drugs? the ridiculous pay is because of the risk.. in O&G usually the heavy work load + risky + no life (at least not on land) is the reason for the high pay... but in the yard even though the workload and responsibility is high but the pay doesn't really compare to it (so i've been told).. so that's why i'm asking.. if you happen to find a job like you said do let me know.. but i dun believe in getting high pay for goyang telor..

ethanol is energy intensive to produce .... so it kind of comes down to the same thing ... yes ? no ?

Ya thanks for the reply. Thats what I thought. They are very strict about camera and phones. But when some dude told me that I can bring my phone on Shell rigs, i was like wtf?

u can try. If u can, do tell me the hotspot, lol. Though I think he meant for u to call taxi or someone to pick u up once u come back from offshore. Also due to salt sea breeze and potential drop of thousand ringgit iphone down into the deep blue, it would be advisable to keep it onshore or in the offshore LQ.

Camera restriction is mainly due to flashes which may cause explosion (thus flash disabled is a must) if there's gas leak. But most time it's to prevent the shutdown due to sensors. U definitely do not want to cost Shell millions just cause u wanna simply take photo for memory sake. If they catch you, they will definitely report you, and u do not want that.

Finally I have finished off all the posts in 170pages. It's amazing, very informative and constructive advices.

well, i did post a few question early day (Before graduate), many thanks to those who replied my questions. I was recently graduated from MSc(Eng)Control System (which is emphasis on system modelling and control design) and BSc(hons)Instrumentation (Sorry to mention again, easier to those didnt follow the previous posts), and my questions are:

1. Previous advices, I should rather join Yokagawa, Emerson likes company in order to gain more experiences before joining OnG industries. What is the role and job scope of an Instrumentation and control system engineer in OnG? act as process engineer? Do Instrumentation and control system engineer have the opportunity to work offshore? Yes, maintenance or project delivery for operators, field engineers for service providers like Yoko, Emerson, etc

2. I love to working offshore (very challenging and exciting environment) or hand-on practical experience rather than work in office designing (which is contrast to my qualifications), and willing to learn. Do i need to undertake short course in order to fullfill my dream? is there any short course out there ?Hands-on can mean troubleshooting, commissioning, installation etc. Take your pick

3.  As come across the posts, in order to have bright future in OnG, and have the most of knowledge regarding oil field, work in service company is the better option compare to consultant. Is that right? Normally consultant company seldom hire fresh grads, am i right? Most consultants that i have came across, like RWP, Aker, MMC, etc involve more on BFD (paper design)

4. Should fresh grad apply for the job require years experiences? since freshgrad should keep on trying their luck on applying job? will this actions will lead to bad impression to the HR ppl?Apply for companies that have good graduate development program

5. I wish to join as a Graduate in OnG company, since i have no experience and wish to have extensive of training, but lots of the companies stated in this thread hire specific position. Any recomendation company for graduate position? except SHELL,EXXON, PETRONAS, Schlumberger, Baker Huges, BJ, Haliburton....
(failed during SRD for a position of Global solution graduate, sad.. )Those co you've listed do posses good graduate program... Shell GSI is like the consulting arm for Shell.Its harder to get into. Try graduate program for Shell EPA ( in Miri, tho)

6. Anyone work in MOX? How was the working environment?graduates will be trained? how much the pay for fresh?

Thank you for the helping hand and correct me pls if i have written something wrong in my post.
Many thanks and your feedbacks are deeply appreciated

hey guys, i'am about to graduate with B.eng (materials)..in which i learned about corrosion & protection, NDT, X-Rays, Surface etc..

it is easy to join this industry? since i don't have 'cable' and my cgpa only 2.5 huhu

are there other company that i should apply for this job other that shell, petronas, exxon mobil, n other big oil company? i mean easier to apply rather than those big company..

should i take prof. certs in NDT or industrial safety before applying position as engineer in this industry? 

i not sure about this, but will they want to see my final year project during interview? because my FYP is about solar cell and semiconductor..

i plan to join INSEP (oil & gas), which i'll try to make it as my industrial training (6 month)..does this cert from INSEP will help me a lot in finding O&G job? because i'll undergo 3 month of tutorial class n 3 month training offshore
