QUOTE(zeusu @ Jan 27 2008, 11:37 AM) Transocean's a drilling contractor, own alot of rigs and drill for operators. Just merged with GSF. Long time ago, they merged with Sedco-Forex (used to be owned by SLB). thanks again zeusu... well explained.... hmm... then i will apply it as well... coz that's all i need for a head start... It's hard to compare since they are essentially different jobs from what BHI & SLB offer (if you exclude SLB's IPM), but a driller job (internationoal) pays really well in transocean, but I would say it's more of a hands-on work. But you get regular rotations, if irregular you get overtime. Typically the training program (from what I heard) involves a rotation of all the work on the rig where you have to work your way up, from a roustabout to roughneck/derrickman to driller, then toolpusher and eventually an OIM/rig manager. and powdersnow, DCS does more interpretation work (geoscientists, petrophysicists, etc) while SIS does more of the IT stuff SLB has. WesternGeco's our seismic side (exploring seas, deserts for oil/gas). so roughly how long will it take to become an OIM....? |

i'm not too sure but I think it's long, probably like 10-20 years, if you can make it through the ranks. Most OIMs I see don't seem very young.

Hi, I am new here...
Just a question out of curiosity, are you guys/girls in this industry high achievers in school/uni? Do you have to be actively involve in sport/societies/ possess leadership skills etc? I applied for internship position at Shell last year, but did not even managed to go for any interview. Just a plain email saying that I dun have the qualifications they are looking for.. Now that I cant apply for graduate position.. need to wait until 24 months (or 12..cant remember) to apply again.. Sad =( I have a degree in electrical engineering anyway... |

QUOTE(iDk @ Jan 28 2008, 01:09 AM) static and another one is rotary. Static machinery and rotary machinery. Which mean you gonna deal with the things that is not rotating. Rotating like turbine, pump etc. That is what i see around. Static u deal with pressure vessel, tank, heat exchanger. I'm a static package engineer....Depend on which side u want to work, can be client, consultant or vendor/fabricator. |

It was fun anyway. |

mechanical, electrical, civil, petroleum, geology, geophysics, math, physics
if you have any of the degrees mentioned above you can work in o&g, there must be more but a majority of my colleagues graduated in those disciplines. |
