Not much difference actually. Both of them are powerhouses in the oilfield service industry. Technically, any service that SLB has, Halliburton can match it as well with their very own tools and equipment and vice versa.

HOWEVER from the career perspective, the difference can be very significant. (eg. work culture, job security, $$$ and prospect)

It wouldn't matter much to you right now because i think first u need some experience and exposure in the field first before start thinking about comparing companies.

when i look through oil n gas companies website..

is there any post for network engineer or network security engineer in those ong?

(sorry, its hard to read from previous 180+ pages )

Radiation Safety Officer, wun be a spelled out in the websites. You need to have contacts to know if the position is available. In O&G we tend to help each other or rather help our friends to get jobs. It's a close knit community. For that kind of post, i would suggest joining as a HSE officer / HSE advisor first ( depending on your qualification ) then once slowly branch out to specialise.

Oh and as for Radiation HSE officers, you would need to basically look for NTD companies who do radiography, though not many are around but there might be a chance to get into that position however I highly doubt it. I know a few major players in the NTD industry but i've yet to meet a radiation hse officer.

NDT?

For big companies, RSO are trained internally and usually are part of the normal crew wheter from wireline or logging. They do not specifically hire a RSO for an RSO's job since you need to be able to know and use the tools first.

i'm a nuclear science student
we learn about basic NDT..
very hard to find NDT companies in malaysia
can u tell me more about HSE officer?

Velosi, Oceancare
NDT company

Very hard cos u're not looking in the right places. There are various types of NDT, conventional and non-conventional practised here. I'm not in NDT but i know just enough. You should know more than me actually.

One of the big players is velosi, go search them up on the net. They're public listed in the UK and all that BUT they'er essentially a training ground for those in the NDT game in Malaysia.

Oceancare is also another NDT company and so is PNR Inspections, etc. there's LOADS of em out there.

this seems like good network

Is offshore that lucrative? Seriously, you guys ( those in chemical backgroud, etc) should look into chemical plants. i.e. ON shore! u'd be suprised how much yuo may get. Earning big $$ offshore is now a myth is no0t as high as you may imagine. I mean I work onshore and offshore and I find that Onshore i get more but then again, it's due to responsibility. Offshore the only extra is the offshore allowance which aint that much over time.

I believe that for job that is almost offshore based, the money is a lot more than those who spend most of their time onshore. Cause the risk is higher and they may need to keep themselves isolated from society for longer period. Also partly due to demand and like you said, responsibility. I know someone who mostly based onshore but got hella lot of pay because his kind of expertise is rare to get.

Also the extra is not only offshore allowance but also the OT pay and saved up money as they provide free accomodation and food expenses. And depend on your position, company and etc. offshore allowance varies from as low as 2 figures to 3 figures per day.

Hi all,

I'm currently studying electronics engineering (telecommunication) and applied for an Internship at Shell to fulfill my industrial training requirements later this year.

I got a shortlisted notification mail today and was quite surprised ... considering I send in my application barely 2 days ago.

Out of curiosity, how will the interview be like? Where might I be placed? What can I look to forward assuming I get accepted? In my application I did specify that my first choice is Commercial - IT and second Technical - Production. Other technical posts sound more suited for Mechanical Engineering students.

I skipped all 182 pages in the thread. Kindly link me to the relevant page if this has been asked before.
