Completion does not deal with radioactive substance, or explosive substances, or chemicals. Since you'll be based in Kemaman, chances are you will be at the workshop redressing, pressure testing, making up etc completion tools there.

Completions is the stage right before production can begin, completion tools are the equipments required to be installed/run-in downhole during completion.

Hope that's clearer, cheers.

There's RA source but miniscule, I haven't seen or known anyone in Wireline or Completions having cancer yet, one of them has worked for 30 years, 15 of which taking care of the RA source. That's what the radiation badge is for.

Hey guys,
was doing a little bit of research about well drilling, and am curious. how many people (besides drilling engineers) are involved in the process of drilling a new rig?
sorry if my question seems a lil ignorant, cos i have little/no technical knowledge.. reading all this technical jargon makes my head spin :S

Hey guys just want to ask,

Any O&G engineers can share how much they are getting a month?Which company are you all working in?

I'm interested in this sector,but don't know how it's like and how much is the pay.Also want to know where do you all work,office environment or at oil rigs?

Mind sharing which aspect of completion has miniscule RA source? Not in safety valves systems, packers, flow control or downhole control valves... Maybe i missed something?

I just want to know if there is an opportunity for a electronics majoring in computer student can enter this field?? i heard hard to get in this field for the electronics course student. I want to try to enter this course since i will finish my study in may.

hi all, i would like to ask between subsurface and subsea, which one is better in terms of:
1. career path
2. global mobility (i mean to stay in another country and work there permanently/not expat)
3. salary (compare same years of exp)

hope to make the right choice, hence thanks for any advice

Personal opinions below:

Completions is a good choice as there will generally be more and more such work in the future, combined with more well intervention work as well, which some completion engineers are involved in.
Little, almost no RA for completions, unless it's for logging/perforations??

There are opportunities for electronics grads.
Most service companies have positions for electronics grads.
Jobs range from running wireline(e-line) tools, logging, data engineer, etc.

Subsurface mainly revolves around reservoir engineering, petrophysics, geology, well engineering etc.
Subsea is mostly offshore deepwater work, dealing with drilling, production etc.
So it's kinda different in a sense.

Hye all,

Im with downstream oil and gas processes for 4 years.
Heard in middle east got plenty of job opportunities.
Try:
Qatargas
Kuwait
.....i forgot other area laa...

Maybe later i post for any new jobs...
By d way..oil n gas in Malaysia provides u good earnings and benefits..
Try checkout Shell-carrear instead??

One more thing...Im tired working in plant and shift hours..so Im searching for admin job in the same industries....

May i ask something....if all PSCs can claim what they spend in looking for 1st oil with NOC (Petronas). then there is no risk for them rite?...furthermore production of oil will be share among PSC and Petronas rite?

i don't see any risk for these all PSCs perhap you all can point it up to me..

But they need to budget things up front right? Petronas may not simply pay anymore.

Maybe the CCL/GR log.

Thanks for the info bro, actually i meant subsea installation/design type (eg modules) of work compared to subsurface (eg well engineering, reservoir)

Subsea in drilling operations is another different thing right?

Guys, how to get offshore job? I apply many company (local & international) but no response.
U guys got any experience can share?
i am Fresh grad in mechanical engineering. wish to apply for field engineer

Yes Petronas would reimburse the cost spend on exploration etc if there is oil found in the allocated block. But they operators dont get a single sen if they dont right ??????? This is their risk !!!

On your production of oil being shared among the psc and Petronas , if I am not mistaken its 40/60 favouring Petronas and after a certain number of years the platform is handed back to PCSB !!!

Don't think any RA is being used in completion...unless for TCP which uses the smallest RA source...the RA marker sub. Which is pretty negligible BUT still a source no doubt.

hi all sifus.. i juz got an offer from mox-linde gases, currently working there. i want to ask whether i got a chance to go inside Oil n gas industry like shell, exxon after few years later??

i need some advice. i have graduated from hr at unimas but recently i think i wanna start my career at oil n gas industries. i wanna start from bottom maybe as a rigger or painter. I would like to attend short courses on painting or rigging skills so that i can apply offshore job. i think I am more into hands-on job rather than office jobs.

What do you guys think? Or try to apply for instep training program which takes 3 year? Is it wasting time?

Painter? what did u graduated with? if u graduated from a uni, there has to be something else you can do apart from being a painter? can apply for other junior or trainee positions.

do oil n gas companies willing to accept junior or trainee position in hr?
