thanks brother for telling me about the recruiting. Well, when come to these international company, i always got the feeling that i cannot get it. It is not i dont want to try, because most of the time even before call for interview, i will be filter out just because of my qualification (lower pointer here). I prefer to be realistic, down to earth and start from somewhere there is possible for me to join in, like a service company, after a certain amount of experience, then only i think of these big company. Currently applying for a pipeline service company, now under their medical examination, for me which is a very tight examination, urine drug test, ecg stuffs like that.

with that thought you SHOULD HAVE NOT take the scholar . Give to opportunity to others..

Im not regrat taking the PETRONAS scholar..im very proud of that..becoz it is not easy to be sponsored by them.now already finished study with PETRONAS money..and I have to pay back what they have invested to me..let me work with them first and after 10 years will be thinking of jumping to other company

prolly u will do what most ppl do when bonded .... work a few years then break contract with them ......

May i know are they (Halliburton and Baker Hughes) are looking for experience people or freshie with 1-2 years of experience?

what i mean of experience people is people with 8-15 years of experience.

Hey,

Sounds like everyone here is offshore based. Anyone here is on rotation abroad but working onshore?

Hi there,

Ex-UTP and PETRONAS scholar reporting here and currently working in PCSB as commissioning engineer. It seems like there has been some misleading infomation and circulation about client company, especially PCSB. To put in simple, working in PCSB and other client company is more challenging than what rumours said.

Our work evolve as how the work progress. Being as a client representative, we deal with a lot of people, from skill workers to professional engineer and manager level. Document review is only part of the work. PETRONAS staffs are very marketable in O&G not without any reason.



What do you mean by rotation aboard and working onshore? Meaning working onshore and offshore at the same time?

many ppl tell me..geologist/geophysics are very demanded in the market than others..is it true?...

Haha..seems like more ex-UTP clan here Good job Aurora..share wateva u know about PCSB..

hola...! another petronas scholar here... currently doing Petro Eng..

not sure.. b'coz i have friends wanna change to PE (yeah, but still, it's all depends on sponsor) because they said geologist has small prospect...

I am working onshore but on a 6 On, 5 Off rotation....6 weeks of work, 5 weeks of rest at home.

hello~ everyone... I just got to know this forum here... feeling so great with so many professionals in the forum...

By the way, I am very keen to enter Schlumberger... I have upload my resume on their website 2 weeks ago... but it seems no respond at all....

Can anyone tell me is the recruitment time over for schlumberger...?

I have mechanical engineering background from LJMU (previously from TARC) and currently working as a sales and marketing engineerng for semicon industry for exactly 1 year..... now looking for a chance to enter oil n gas industry hopefully big blue....

Any advise, the oil n gas brotherhood out there....?

Any idea, how we can apply for job like yours ?

Same as everything and everyone else....try their website first. Or any recruitment fair.
Or you have a friend that works in that particular company. And depends on which department.

But ya gotta keep yur fingers crossed. I was blessed to get an international contract.

Hey wildchai..are working wif petronas or service company?currrently at oversea rite..good2

well wildchai ,

maybe can drop by when i'm in Turks

Working with a service company....being sent to odd places....lol

Turkey? you on rotation there? nice

Not entirely true about seismic companies not recruiting mech engineer grads. I am one and currently working with Western Geco (one of the major players in seismic industry). In fact most of the ppl in our seismic crew come from mech and electrical eng backgrounds. The geology/geophysics majors on the other hand are usually hired as data processors and they work onshore.

Checking in guys, KS Lee, LWD field service engineer, Qatar district... Wouldn't mind getting some industrial networking and connections here!!!

Added on January 2, 2008, 2:08 amField Engineer, depends on the service being provided by the company you're representing. It's quite a long deal of process to get grease out from the ground, upstream all the way downstream involves many activies. Speaking from my own experience, LWD or wireline field service engineers perform data acquisition for formation evaluation information. Don't be too narrow by picking SLB, there are others around: BHI, Haliburton, Weatherford, Pathfinder etc. I am from ME background as well, but the key to get in is really partially your luck, and whole lot of persistence.

Added on January 2, 2008, 2:17 amI believe they take both experienced and freshie, but they would be examining their contract in that particular country. I mean, contract with oil companies since their operation revolves around that. If the contact starts late, they can still afford to hire a freshie and train him up - his wage would cost less. Otherwise if contract starts immediately, they would got no choice but to hire an experienced guy. A lot of country/region operations and hiring revolve around activity level and contract.
