Heard from people again? come on ler......

I heard only need to work 2 hours a day.!


Offshore shift normally is 12 hours. Normally is 6am to 6pm or 7am to 7pm

sometimes 11am to 11pm. And you have night shift also.

First u tell other people....and then u said it yourself!

Mind you...there are peeps who works for 40hrs or more straight...with very little rest in between. If you don't know...don't say anything.

I know because i'm a field engineer.

oh yeah...which company..client or 3rd party?....i just returned from offshore last week.

Malaysia will run out of oil by 2011 Even Dubai is trying to switch it's main source of income from oil&gas to ultra luxurious tourism. It's oil&gas reserve is expected to run out by 2016.

Now actually the best time to join the oil/gas industry.....since oil is more scarce....the competition to search for more oil intense....thus more jobs.

my new job will be serving oil and gas industry client. the interviewer did told me that i might need to go offshore sometimes. so this consider in oil and gas industry or not?

however..my post is not those chemical engineer..just an IT Engineer. any opinion about such position.?

I think its one of the best industry there is, unless of course when the oil resources run out.

My dad has been in the Oil&Gas Industry for over 30 years now and retired at that. However, they have called him back and he works 10 days a month as a consultant. My DREAM job really.

Yes you can apply for Shell or Petronas, etc but did you know Shell's contract now is for only 2 years? After that u will be on review again. SO the best bet is to work for their contractors. You will learn so much more. In the end you will see that Shell and Petronas are not your best options.

As for being away from families that only applies to those who want to work offshore or work on site. i.e. Up-Stream. Basic is low but allowances are high.

However, you have to bear in mind that getting into oil & gas will not give you high salaries initially. We know that the position can easily be taken over by another grad who will be willing to work at a lower salary so why pay more? It's not really exploiting but more like an employers market not. We offer you low basic but we offer you allowances which will no doubt bring you money at the end of the month and it might be lower than your other friends who work in logistics and all that But wait a year or two then you will see how much more you can earn.

Keep in mind, here we're straight forward, if we dun like something we tell it to you straight. There's no time for BS and all that. If we find you slacking we have an easy solution. Just sack you and get someone else.

At times you will be bored in the office in between jobs on site. Other than that it doesn't last that long u might get maybe a few days rest between jobs then out you go again. This of course I'm speaking about the NDT engineering side of things.

Also you can enter into the marketing side of the industry but based in KL for now.

Currently I'm hunting for Abseilers (IRATA qualified). and mainly Abseiling Engineers. This guys are specialised in their field and among the highest earners. There is a shortage of these people and if any of you here are interested please mail me your resume. The shortage wil become more apparent when more and more companies phase out scaffolding, which is happening right now. Shell, Petronas, ADMA, Pertamina, etc are all phasing out scaffolding and are opting for abseiling as it is faster, much cheaper and so much safer.

As to getting in via recommendation, yes it's true you need to know someone to get in easier. Remember this might be a global industry but we are a small and close-knit community.
