Field engineer. What exactly is that position does also not much ppl know, like mine was offered as field/survey engineer. I think they gave such title is mean that you are suppose to go out to the field quite frequent for a very long period of time, i guess.

About the your job scope, dont worry about that, company usually will teach you everything before hand only send you out there to war or to die ) And you must produce result in the end.

Female at the site ah... Very very rare, in my company only 1 female who go out there. I dont know what is your job scope, but beware that site only have metal and water (offshore), or metal, rock, and sand (onshore). So it is not a nice place after all.

Thats why lor .. but i heard its a good opportunity to take .. what company you working for ?
how long is a long period of time ?
i was thinking if i become become a field engneer for maybe 3-5 yrs then see if i can get office job . . . but not sure if its possible. .

Opportunity... everyone will tell you a lot of things, you also dont know which one to listen to in the end
I working for an inspection company. How about you? What is your company doing?
Long period of time, for my company, it might take up to 3 ~ 8 weeks on the site. That's a quite a long period of time on site. But i believe once you get use to site work, it is very hard for you to come back to office work, when you have to chance to come back to office, you might need to think twice, that's my personal point of view.

erm ... still in uni, no tv here

the company im interested in is doing oil & gas servicing... 3 ~ 8 weeks on the site, then after that? back to office ? or vacation ?

then after that i think work in mainland... the cycle repeats until u get promoted... usually takes 4-5 years... but u will be paid more...

After back from site, depends on your company policy, some give long leave, some short leave, but if your work like sh!t, cannot finish or a lot of things cannot settle, then your leave will be minus out. It is depends on the company. I know if the site or rig got female, it is like the world going to fall apart kind of big news, imagine the rig somewhere in thailand, the news can reach all the way to malaysia to china or philipine something like that. Dunno why lar, it even more powerful if the rig got shemale or lady-boy, it will be the laugh joke of all the ppl on the rig of asia. LOL!

i am planning to get the same job.. see how it goes

i tot you are working in Starducks outside malaysia with very high pay one?

Is there any kind-hearted people here willing to do a summary of this thread. Tired of browsing page by page.

My main concern is that which degree should I take in universtiy so that I can work in an oil and gas company. I plan to do engineering.

I know that most of you here will say petroleum, chemical engineering. By the way, how about mechanical and industrial engineering? The demand for the latter in oil and gas companies is high?

Hope you all share your experience here, preferably head-ons!

Those who are looking for oil & gas career opportunity, there will be a career fair in UTM Skudai from 10-13 March. Check out the UTM Career Carnival website. Lots of big guns in O&G are participating. SLB,BHI,Halliburton,Weatherford etc. Surely an opportunity not to be missed.

If u plan to go, u need to pre-submit ur resume to careercarnivalutm@yahoo.com and state down which company(ies) u want to send in ur resume. Priority for interview session will be given for those who submit their resume before the career fair kick-off. See u guys there!

p/s:btw, i'm not one of the committee or whatsoever. So if u have further enquiries, kindly call UTM. They will be happy to assist u.

eloo... that's my summer job... who wants to get a degree and end up working in starbucks as a barrista?

i am graduating mid of this year and i will be flying off to the states again... most likely going to starbucks again.. however when i am there i will try to secure an internship with an OnG company... the PE is damn hard to obtain there... zzzz

PE.... =.=~! as far as i know, in O&G, no one cares about PE or no PE. As if like it never exist. Just one word, no one give a f*ck about it when i say i want to get PE, they just look at me like i am some alien or what. Sad case~~~~

Added on March 5, 2008, 12:32 amTook their online quiz, quite fun though. But i dont understand why must you have to EIT only they hire you, then they pay you extra for the EIT if you got it? Do their cover everything for you to take the EIT test?
