guys im new but after reading the posts i realized that working in o&g is challenging and i like it.

im majoring in mechatronics and so far im still a first class student but the problem is i dont have a lot of co curricular activities.

can any of you guys please tell me what is your co-curricular activities?
is it really important. as for talking with people i have no problem with that as i really can speak well with peole it just that the co-curricular portion in my resume is really blank.

BTW i just got rejected by the shell gourami challenge.. and they say i cannot apply for another year... can i still apply next year when they come to my uni?

Right, I think Zuesu painted a very descriptive picture here. Mud-loggers, trust me - you don't want to stay there too long. Sample catcher? Also known as shit-baggers... not fun, especially when you're using oil based mud!!!

I am also working for Qatar, any info needed, you're welcome to ask Pinkdalmation. Currently, I am between both Qatar and UAE, and I am currently stuck in Dubai.

Among those guys who get better pay on the rig: company man (obviously), mud engineer, field engineer running fishing, whipstocks, cementing, wireline, MWD/LWD

Yup, a few days of hard labour, basking in the hot middle east sun! No kidding! Can be heavy lifting a bit, but you can leave a lot to cranes and roughnecks, floorhands and roustabouts to handle. Some days, when drilling is fine, you just sit around in front of the computer, doing logs and paperwork. Other days when all hell break loose, things fail, you would get really busy! I am speaking from a Logging While Drilling (LWD) engineer's point of view.

First, food is even more expensive than in US. Because they don't have much natural resources to begin with, other than sand, gas and oil.

There will be months of sandstorms. Be wary of that. It can be really COLD during nights in winter. Hard to get taxi, and they will FFK even if you book them through phone! Good to liase with a private taxi driver and keep his mobile phone number handy! House rental, 8x the price in Malaysia! It's a hell-hole to live in, in a sorry state.

If you head out to land-rigs, tough time! It'll be Indian food everyday, guaranteed you a day or two of diarrhea. If offshore, you'd be luckier. You'll be either working for BP, Shell, Maersk, RasGas or Qatar Petroleum. Which one?
