we were divided into groups of 6..8 groups total.. we were required to designed and built a platform structure that can withstand 8 golf balls using A4 paper and cellophane tapes.

Absolutely disagree with you. If we talk about O&G consultation firms, Process Department is the most crucial of all. Almost all initial informations required stems from them. I'd say they are the frontlines of design, very sought-after people hence highly paid. By the way, Process Engineers are almost always people with a background in chemical engineering.

You should be happy, in my company, Process Dept. has a healthy population of female engineers too.   Should be the same elsewhere I guess.

Sigh me also same fate, should have taken up geophysic. damn.

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!

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?

Halo~ actually Petronas does not provide internship for students anymore except for their scholars. SO, its better if u try out other companies..

actually there are students who are not from UTP but also are Petronas scholar, so, those ppl stand the chance to have internship there. U're sure that ur from is not a Petronas scholar?  weird.... recruiter from petronas last year told us that they dun wan any non-scholar students anymore for internship. Maybe change their mind again.... 
Yea, i did my internship in Shell... only one word can describe it. FANTASTIC! especially when i compare it to other companies. Last time they gave me a project on seismic processing. they assign me a mentor who taught me how to use the software. Colleague there also very nice cox they will help u whenever u need them. they emphasize on teamwork a lot. Because i was also interacting with other interns from different department, i seen and understand that they also learned a lot of things, or should i say, too much to be compare to other companies. u'll get involve in their meeting, courses etc, which makes u feel like you're also a part of them. So it will be better if backspace go for other companies like shell, exxon, slb etc to get more precious experience. ciao~

where are you working in hunter?

Hunter, your company looking for people? I'm just graduated from UPM as Chemical Engineering background...

Haha, that's kinda vague. I'm still in uni but I'm going to intern soon at the end of this year. Now still hunting around for the right place to train.

o.... i see.... yea.... Good network is more important than the capability in Petronas... haha.... really pathetic..... 

Thanks hunter. I've looked into both companies recommended by you and they  are pretty interesting. Air Products do offer industrial placements but MOX did not specify, although I wrote to their HR seeking clarification.

I think I'm more interested in upstream...because we are an oil producing country so it's natural. Oilfield services is also nice, because they support the people in the upstream market so both of them are related to a certain extent. I realize that many O&G companies are not really seeking fresh graduates, preferring people with experience or am I wrong on this observation?

BTW, any other companies to recommend? Like MOX or Air Products, something that is related to O&G but not necessarily an O&G company...I haven't given much thought on that aspect of the industry.

I`m starting stpm now,it`s hard n suffering..n i hope my 6years(2 stpm+ 4 deagree) will affect my salary later on in life..
1). I wish to ask wat course you guys took b4 ending up in petrol type work in OnG companies. Chem engineering is 1 rite?mechanical? wat bout chemical n biomolecula engineer? any other? petrol enginner is the straightest 1 bt i`m afraid we might face oil problems later on..might as well major in sumting on both petrol n non-petrol.
2). Neglect my interests(i mean i hav), any idea how much a freshie tat works in OnG earns? Lets say..offshore n office jobs..i heard ppl who work offshores in MIri earns only 2k while sum may get >5k as a freshie eventho he`s workin in the office..wat r the reasons behind this? I`m kinda $.$ face..let salary talks now..
3). I`m oso interested in stuying in S`pore(NUS/NTU) nex time, just asking, is there any OnG indutries there? i noe nth bout sg! wats the job prospect in sg(jobs related to oil)? Second plan---> local univ...by ranking for the course i wanted(chem engineer) shud be like this rite?  USM>UTM>UTP....
i need advice bout my future...sry for messy post n thz in advance...

Does anyone here know the starting pay for SBM fresh grad. process engineer?

I'm currently working in another consultancy comp, and I want to change the working environment as the place I'm working now sucks.

Anyone any idea?

P.S. Does anyone have any idea who pays the most among all the consultancies? Technip? or...?

I guess when people look at oil and gas, it has been, and will always be, upstream operation.

I got f**ed up on the deal being placed on MTBE processing plant. Pretty much 0 prospect with ***king limited potential as far as OnG is concerned.
