overall.... salary, benefits, career advancement, etc.....

very hard to say like that, need to work in all those companies then only can know and they are all different areas.

baker atlas' wireline, i'm not too sure, but should be comparable to slb wireline, pretty good money for fresh grad since you get a % of the job ticket (so largely dependent on location as well, pricing is not standard). but crazy hours sometimes.

western geco, you get to travel everywhere on seismic ships, or seismic trucks, but you get kinda like a regular rotation. I think 1 guy here in the forum can tell u more.

exxon-mobil, huge company, depends on which position you get. but i heard good benefits.

o..... okie......thanks Zeusu! i got offer for geotechnician in BH, just gone through the last interview at western Geco for geoscientist, and shortlisted for interview in exxon mobile.... really blur and dunno how to choose....

hooo hoooo... u lucky asses... hopefully i get a good one too ^^

The list of companies on the first post are all locally based? As in, they can be based in Malaysia?

i don't really know what a geotechnician does, but geoscientist sounds way better...lol

My fren went for some business trip for one week, come back can use the allowance to cash buy a myvi.

As for me? Paying loan for myVi for 7 years......

so sad

a single business trip (assume it to be outstation work) for duration of 1 week get allowance of RM47k? which mean 7k per day? or 2k usd per day? Boy, are you aware of what you are saying here or you are still sleeping there?

hehe... actually geotechnician is more like a support for geoscientist... responsible in data compiling and make sure tat data is in the right format before being sent to the customers, while geoscientists are more to data aquisition, processing and interpretation.... u're right that geoscientist is better than geotechnician.... more chances to go abroad for trainings and work on vessel....

Which mean geoscientist or geotechnician is on data evaluation side, everyday looking at the data and signal?

yea.. can say like tat..... actually its quite boring and headache sometimes, especially waiting or when couldnt get the satisfactory result.... basically dealing wt software...

envy of you......
going to KL Convention Centre later for the Oil n Gas exhibition.

Hopefully I can secure a good job when I grad next June.


zeusu , I remember enkadir is lady in Western Geco.

I'm also going. I will be stationed at my company booth from 1pm to 7pm today.

See you there

Yeah hope can secure job from you too..lol

lol.. good luck 2 u job seekers ^^ all d best

wish u all da best!

Personally, I have not met a Western Geco Geoscientist who was hired straight out of school. Typically you start off as Onboard Data Processor (OBP Engineer) and then after 3-4 years only then you move up to Field Geo position.

u fellas are all lucky..i really want to get involve in oil n gas industry but never got..haihh..

is there any vacancy for network engineer post. if there's please pm me, my email is isnol.hafiz@gmail.com

ok... i believe it is the same as my company's data analyst except they dont mob around but wait for us to bring back the data. Oh God, if you put me to work as data analyst, i will kill myself very soon because i had been put under training in data analyze department. It is a crazy job and the amount of data you have to look into everyday
I wish those who work as geoscientist or geotechnician all the best and have fun in their job.
