Sorry noob here. What is G&G and CRO?

Btw, question to enkadir:
How did you come across your current company? Were you head hunted by your company or did you apply for it?

Question to everybody:
What are the technical jobs available for Degree holders (fresh grad) in the oil and gas industry? I checked out oilcareers.com but there's alot of jobs mentioned here that are not in the list. So I'd really really appreciate it if you guys could enlighten me on this.

Quite lost when it comes to what kind of jobs I can look forward to in the O&G side with an Electronics Eng degree.

To forrest:
Yeah, I'm interested in O&G jobs for Electronics eng degree. Sorry I forgot to mention the upstream part.

Could you explain what is surface engineering, subsurface engineering and geoscience all about?

My initial guess is:
Surface = all the stuff on the platform, including the instrumentations and etc.
Subsurface = regarding the petroleum/gas underground
Geoscience = ???

Also, what category does seismic data acquisition fall into?

@ speedfamgirl

I hope you don't mind a few questions regarding your career in the O&G industry. How's the environment like offshore? As in the workloads and working schedules?

Also, how are the living quarters like? Do you have internet and stuff there?

Finally, I heard that offshore workers usually work on a one week on - one week off basis. So do your go back onshore/home during every break?

Yeah, same here.

According to the speaker at the Shell career talk, Electronics Engineering students always get places in their IT side and the chances for them to get a permanent career offshore is like, once in a blue moon.

She (the speaker at the career talk) told me to mention my interest in an offshore job during the Shell Recruitment Day, but she added that the chances were again, slim.

So I was wondering if any of you guys and girls here know anybody who graduated as an Electronics Engineer and is working offshore now. It doesn't matter if they are not working for Shell, as long as they are on a permanent offshore career.

Appreciate your input. Thanks.
