hi everyone.. regards from me..
just a week back, i hv received an offer letter from exxon for its engineering position (fresh graduate). in its term, it has stated that i am eligible for benefits, but have not stated what the benefits are. and i feel that it is right for me to know what the benefits i shall be getting if i were to join the organization.

in terms of medical? loans? holiday (if applicable)? etc, for fresh grad hire.

i hope some of the lyn-ers are able to give some info

My cousin who has recently secure offers from 2 different OnG companies...
He is in the middle of confusion whether which company has better career prospective and development...
Can anyone share your comments??...thanks...

1. Exxon - Engineering Graduate
2. BHI - Graduate Engineer

transportation ... car/bike/bicycle/walk/taxi ? like any other place, i guess
offshore wrk located at the surrounding fields
entertainment .... only if you like to drink/go to bars/karaoke/run
shopping mall ... if you're looking for a MALL better luck trying at KK or Brunei or just fly back to KL
streamyx service is available
mobile coverage ... i thnk its the same everywhere

any oil&gas hiring procurement ?

Transportation - Got those mini bus ala pink sardine box era circa 80s that operates every half an hour. Depending on the distance, bus fare range from RM1 - RM3.
Normally folks will phone cabbies to move around, RM10 per ride. They comes in various colors though, blue green and yellow i think.

Entertainment - So so, the major boozing area is Poppin Disco and also thes one in the hotel. The no 1 joint for ayams and your friendly neighborhood pimps. Also you have a handful shady pubs here and there. Seafood near port area quite chun and booze is cheap (duty free mah.)

Shopping mall - Only one. Think they call it Labuan Shopping complex or whateva. 3 floors i think. Yep u got ur KFC and Pizza Hut inside the mall but no Mc D.Parkson only 2 floors ala Brothers spare parts shop in Kelana Jaya.

Cinema - got one double storey shophouse near new labuan area..(forgot the name.). Don't bother, 50 seats only. Have to book advance lar unless you wanna watch movies that were 3-4 weeks old or Hanna Montana show. Might else bit torrent at home.

Streamyx & mobile coverage - Standard.

Shopping mall you mean the Financial Park Center thingy. Its opposite the Dorsett.

congrates, how much they offer you as graduate eng?mind to ask you when u apply for that post if u remember?

What do you all think about Commissioning Engineer in oil and gas industry? Good career prospect?

is there any oil and gas related jobs that doesn't need a good MATHS qualification?

don't tell me you don't even know 1+1... lol!

I'm just joking... actually a lot of jobs in oil and gas doesn't need good Maths qualification... unless you go into design?

Im an IT Grad in 2006 but i also can work in O&G industry..

It's almost 4 years now.. i've been to may rigs(jackup, semisub, tender barge) around malaysia and also overseas(sudan, australia, ethiopia)
If u want to work in O&G, u have to work hard and be prepared to throw away all ur social life haha..
Sell ur soul to ur company.. and u'll be rewarded..

I've met a lot of friends.. from Schlumberger MWD, Halliburton, Ororgenic, BJ Cementer, etc2
Right now im at Ethiopia.. will be back in 10 days.. cant wait to enjoy haha

it was part of post-internship evaluation, so there wasnt official job application, except for internship application which was done 3 months before i commenced my internship. therefore, i'm not sure how long it takes for them to reply after u apply.

1+1= erm 78? lol.

naa im not going into designing. what kinda job actually? is there any IT related jobs available in oil and gas?

Hi guys. Mind if I ask something?

Is there anyone here doing NDT in the Oil&Gas industry or am I asking in the wrong place?

Got some questions to ask

Lucky brat...how did he manage to get offer from big player.......


Care to share the secret, my fren..... i'm already in oil and gas industry....but still looking for a better company that pay better salary....

so lucky u all..got high salary..

me still trying to go into this field,,,

High salary? Not really considering the amount of time and effort that you need to put into. And moreover, to warn you that in this oil and gas industry, we're risking our life to do the job.
