i think u shud go for it as u r a fresh grad anyway...nothin to loose.
ok...i browse the site..from what i see is this company provide geology solution services. ok let me xplain it in a simple-malaysia-char-keoy-teow- english-style-with-less-technical-jargon for ur easy understanding.

b4 we can even pump the oil n gas to the pipeline...we need to hv a platform right? wether it is onshore or offshore it doenst matter as long as there is OG. so, ppl need to find where the heck this OG hiding so that i can built my platfom and pump all the og n the mud out...

sin chan say: hmmm how to look for it..shud we use microscope, boss?
sin chan boss say: it is underneath, do we have that powerful-powderful microscope?
tea lady pass by and say: aiyooo, why lah! go n ask the geologist lahhh leng chai!

after a meeting with the geologist
sin chan boss say: what! 1 year to analyse the mud the stone n everything? it just stone maaa...go n send them to the lab la...i only hv 6 months left to live...i need to see some oil b4 i die...go n find the solution..

that is when u need the down under geo solution. nowadays we hv a lot of advanced technolgy that cn help us and at the same time cut the time, the loses, and predict more accurate data. so to know the earth properties there are a lot of tools n technology that we can use.

so for this down under geosolution they provide = DownUnder offers a full 2D/3D time processing service for seismic surveys of any size.

i am guessing that u r not from geology background..IT perhaps? if it s true u might hv not know wht is seismic surveys.

hmmm how to explain it to you...ok..to know what is the earth properties down under, do u need to cut the earth to half so that u can have a picture of it? so to do this without cutting the earth you need to have a gud camera. A camera that can help u take the picture of the earth properties without having to cut them in half. this is where we need seismic survey. seismic is a wave..the hv many kind of wave..later tis wave or vibration is projected into an image and known as seismic maps.. from this map we can analyse a lot of things such as to know petroleum related things, trap-rocks n evything.
oil n gas dont just exist like that in a split second. they are a result of million trillion years or fossil. they trap among the rocks.

so this is what the company do (if im not mistaken), they provide the solution, the software or technology for it (they are the camera). so can u picture what they been doing now? is this helping?

ps-wether they giv u employment opportunity or not..still, its a gold oppurtinity for u anyway...try to learn as muh as u can from ur internship then u know wether it is worth it or not and if this is really wat u want to do.. enjoy!!

i hv lots of lady friends whose background in chem eng and successfully work as process engineer..it is office based but once in a while they need to go to offshore platform for a site visit..but normally the visit wouldnt be long max is 1 week..so it is doest matter if u r married or not..if u senior enough u can skip the site v isit for the rest of ur life and ask the junior to do that for u...at the end of the day u just need their drwaing, report, picture, etc...

obviously u dont understand process and design....for a process engineer (dosnt matter a guy or gal) mostly they work for consultant who do design such as Ranhil, aker, dps, gps, phoyri (to name a few)..in any design company in this world, none of them design on site regardless wether they are process, pipinq, mechanical, structural engineer, or etc..all the design will be based in office. That is why they need to go for ste visit once the project kick off and gather all the data or information. the site visit normally 3 to 4 days or sometimes 1 week (because there is no boat or heli to come and pick u up, hehehe)..the frequency of the visit is depend on the project, sometimes once sometimes more than 1. so im pretty sure this lady (if she exist) have no health complication at all or she is senior enough to avoid the site visits. sometimes for some project such as brownfiled one..they dont even need to go for site visit as the client will provide u the data, drawing and all. do u know that the person who did the design is very competent and skillfull that by just looking at numbers, drawng, n picture they can design and diagnose problems. this is a result of their gud education and tons of experienc. well, thats not all, beside brains the technology pla important part too. so now do u get it?

First of all u need to know that Technip in malaysia business scope, they dont just design but they also do fabrication/construction, installation, etc. So logically thinking, what on earth does a safety engineer need to do n the office.

sin chan say: boss, i am the new graduate safety engineer.
sin chan's boss say: ohh great! good! welcome aboard. now go and check if all the plug in the office is not overload. make sure they dont overload their plug or ask them to use extension. and one more thing, please rearrange the cubicle so that it is easy for us to run if there is toxic gas attack.


Looking back at techip business, do u think they put u in the office to make sure the plug is ok. of course they will send u to the site regardless it is offhore or onshore. As u joined them as a fresh, of course initially they will put u in the office for training purposes, courses, etc. Oil and gas industry work very fast, hectic, rapidly, fast n furious, etc so i dont believe u will be in the office for too long...they will put u on site as soon a there is a demand from project or perhaps as soon as they think u r ready.

So, gud luck!

if i were u....hmmmmm

both post is different...one is hands on, while the other one is management.

damn it is hard to focus now..which one is better....ohhh damn i dont want to think about it..i cant make my mind..lets just revert..i dont want to be u..its so hard

REVERT (im not u anymore)

both have a better future. but it is all up to you. some people dont like managing and prefer the dirty works. however in terms of company Sime Darby is quite ok..furthermore u will be involve with their Qatar project. im not sure witch JV this one but if u mention sime-qatar all i can picture now is the sime-maersk project. so this is a good exposure for you to work with people internationally and add value to your CV.

u said: My pre sent company is small all though wellknown in the industry. However the offer is from a new company but gives me exposure in middle east in the future.

it might be a new company BUT it is a JV between a conglomerate to form a NEW company...it is not totally a baby man...maybe because u work on rig so that u hv no exposure of the oil and gas key player and what happen in the industry now.

so, long story short. make ur mind if u can and like to work with people, coordinating, liasing with client, vendor, etc, managing both on site or off site...it is a work for jack of all trades...if YES than this is a gold opportunity for u.

So, Gud Luck!

wel, there is alot of company u can engage with. but the question is as a fresh grade to join the industy, do u hv a gud grades to begin with..cause the competition is very tough among graduates who one to be in. and if u have apply alot but still hasnt succesfull, why limit ur self to KK only. if u want to succeed in this industry, u need to be ready for everything, mobilise ur self, the challenges, the cursing, the stress, and all...gud pay doesnt come easyly..that is why there is a saying..u pay monkey u get monkey...(or is it peanuts?)..

how much a company in KK can afford to pay? even if they could..they WOULDNT..because dear u need to understand...if u dont want it other ppl can have it..because they have an unsaturated market. compared to company in KL who compete a lot and their resource for manpower is saturated already.

u dont belief me....than this is ripley's believe it or not..(hhahah just kidding)
ok..ive known an MNC company which have abranch in BORNEO (dont want to let u know which part of it)...they hv a gud business there and done well in malaysia..but mannn..their salary strucure is so different from the one in KL...really huge different..when i said huge..it is really huge man. u know why..because there is no competition at all..and the people there just dont want to move to KL..(and off course they do not know how much KLs' earn)...they been like that for ages 20 years perhaps....UNTILLL a few years ago went a new competitor (who not even MNC to begin with) enter the market..and after losing about 70% of their staff to the competitor than and only then they revised the salary. So now do u undertand what i mean?
it is back to basic ...LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...

So, gud luck on ur job application.

Good Luck hajime86!!

and when u there down under..DONT PLAY PLAY arrr!!

crapster,

ok..thanks for the info. i was making my comment on an assuption that normally design company didnt do their own safety report and outsource it to other safety, risk consultant. my assumption was that he/she being offered a job as a safety engineers doing the constraction/fabrication part of work. now i know that technip do their own safety report for FEED, DD, etc..thanks crapster for the onfo. obviously, i never work with technip..huhuhu..

yeahhh.. i like this forum too...

wahh geng...ur BMI is really in dangerous zone man...i suggest you to cut low ur BMI..take care of ur health...later if health not good..u will got prob pass medical exam for offshore passport.

neway gud luck!
