can IT ppl join O&G company??

you need to have your own driving license by yourself, once you get that, it's just 5 mins to get the international license, which you can claim from them.

the driving test here is to see if you can drive safely following some safety standard, which if you pass, then you'll be qualified to drive SLB vehicles. Defensive driving is learning how not to lose control when the roads are slippery e.g. ice/mud/etc, sudden handbrakes, etc. Normally, they have this for the guys who goto the US for OFS-1 since in most US locations ppl can drive to the rigsite. I didn't go for this 'cos of last minute changes....sighz...so can't say much about it.

well, i just came back from abu dhabi, food can be a bit pricey though compared to M'sia, just be ready to spend upwards of 20 dirhams/meal.

wow!!!!!means ur company dint provide meals for u???so whn u go onshore...they provide meals for u????well..juat wanna know...my rotation is 6 weeks on shore...1 week office...2 weeks holiday.....6 weeks onshore--->they provide meal n accomodation rite???how bout 1 week office??do they provide accomodation n meal????thn 2 weeks holiday....let say we wanna stay back..do they provide accomodation???thanks ya zeusu

Aiyoh..... even through i'm not from big company like SLB, BH, Halliburton, but i roughly know they provide you food one de lar, you can eat until you die over there, accommodation also included but might be as nice as 5 star hotel. When you back to office, then you eat yourself lar (i guess since not at site). I dont think you wanna stay back at site, you will definitely want to get away from there the moment your off and if i not mistaken, you are not allow to stay at site for doing nothing, you must leave the site.

Hello all!
Can anyone here share with me the expected starting salary for a fresh grad. engineer at Weatherford? Not for the full-time field-based engineer, but more a office-based engineer with field visits required.
If nobody knows, then any bros/sisters please advice on how much one should request for.
Thanks y'all!

Hi,
I'm geophysicist student; will be graduate soon. I noticed that oil and gas want to employ those with experiences. Do u know which company want to hire fresh graduate and give them trainings?

Thanx.

Come come be like me Safety Officer! the guy people love to hate! lolx The person who (you see) to be sitting around n walking around and telling people wat to do and how to do it etc. the person whom everyone thinks sits around and does nothing. Until accident happen then become CSI! lolx.

So be like me! The person whom everyone loves to hate!! hehehe

remember kiddos " Safety First!"

offshore, meals & accomodation are provided...in office, depends on location, if very remote, you'll be given food as well. Accomodation's provided as well. For your 1 week thing, I'm not too sure, never been to that, but for OFS-1 breakfast & lunch is provided, dinner you have to find yourself, but they give you something like 50dirhams a day.

On your days off, why would you wanna stay back? They'll pay your air ticket back home & you get a housing allowance too if i'm not wrong.

I have a friend working in O&G... this is the story:

As a fresh grad, you earn RM2xxx
After one year, you earn RM3xxx

It is normal. After five years, you will definately earn 5 digits...

Bonus depending on the company. Some give 6 months (like Petronz), some give based on percentage of your annual income, it varies.

If you work offshore, you will be paid more. Additional half of your monthly salary, or around that. reason being:
- Its very risky. HIGH risk.
- when you fly using helicopter, if the heli crashes, you die
- if you use boat to transfer, if boat sinks, you die
- to transfer from boat to platform, you need to 'tarzan' to the other side. if you slip and your head knock the steel, you drown/die/bit by big fishes
- when you work on the platform, totally no life. there is astro, tv, food, gym etc. but imagine you work in an environment as big as your house in two weeks. you dont see anything out there, just the vast emptiness of the sea. its very stressful, and in some cases, people go nuts
- if you are a contractor, you have limit to call home. can only call 2-3 times a week (maybe)..
- if you are a contractor, if you are forced to work more than 4 weeks, you can go crazy
- no hang phone coverage
- only a few computer to surf the net. 100+ people using it
- if you work on a drilling rig, if there is a blowout, you die

and finally
- if you work too hard and go back home less, your gf find other guy, leave you, you die

hahaha.

so why work with o&g? cuz they pay good? is that your justification of a good job?

think again.

icic..thanks zeusu for ur info....much appreciated it......ic..is it they will pay us the flight ticket back for the 2 week holiday???yahoo..i tot they will nt provide the air ticket back msia...then it sounds good........thanks again zeusu..

haha... you got some point there, but i would say that O&G is certainly far more better than lots of other industry outside.

For other companies:
1. fresh grads' avg salary 2k
2. no allowance
3. stick in the lab/factory/ office as well
4. doing same thing over and over again--->boring & no life
5. Some job need u to work more than 10hours per day but only get half og the pay given by O&G companies
6. risk in some jobs, eg: chemist--> exposed to chemical stuffs. if explode accidently, also die--> life's a fate, if destinied to die, sure will die regardless of how, where and why.
7. After 30 years, pension, not even enough for the rest of the life, think about goin travelling? better dreams when sleeping

NO MONEY---> DUN EVER SICK, if sick, better die directly than suffer
---> No dreams, no big houses, no fancy cars, nth to enjoy, imagine, born into this world eg: for 70years, doin nth but study, work,
nth to enjoy, no money for travelling etc
---> Wan to own a business after working for 10years? think again and plan. money? experience in business?
---> dun even think of want to give family a better life, no money no talk

There are certainly many industry which u could earn a lot, eg
1.network marketing, but too many ppl have negative view on it, pandek kata, coward malaysians, especially, dun even dare to know what it is.. some even say tat its a scam, cheat ppl's money etc.. sorry, system=dead, onlp ppl cheat ppl. so nth's wrong
2. Insurance, need to find customers, some ppl dun even know how to talk
3. Financial planner, more or less need to find customers also
4. business, no money no talk
5. etc

Life is not only about urself. how about ur family? ur parents? your future kids? Its about responsibility. Sometimes u need to sacrifice in order to get sth better in your life. Like kevinling said, no pain, no gain. This is one of the industries which makes u really tough, both mentally and physically, at least you're paid with all the 'pain' u gain through out the process. i believe if one could survive in this industry, he or she will be able to survive in other industries as well. Hence, why complain when O&G trainu to be better and gives u money, thus, dreams and better life etc.? and not all ppl work for rest of their life in O&G. It is also a stepping stone and financial foundation source for your other future planning.

Hehe yeah got no interest in consultancy design type of work... so try out for the services industry now, it looks much more appetising !

What about u hunterorz, what's your story? and and and... got any advice on how much salary to expect?

Erm, i will make the same choice if i were u, coz working as process engineer in technip hv no chances to go onsite... everyday office work,boring.... I cant tell u much bout the salary range coz I am stil very fresh to this industry.... but i believe ppl in this forum will able to gv u good advice,they are all very experience and informatic

Actualy, i work in Consultancy firm as well, now at site commissioning a petronas plant in east malaysia... stil in dilema whether wana move to upstream ornot... coz the benefit and salary much higher.... But i will wait until finished the commissioning lots to learn overhere....
