One quick question, can graduate from computer engineering join oil and gas field? I'm really interested in this field but I'm from computer engineering background. Dunno whether they accept it or not

anyone heard of DHI Services ? mud-logger & formation evaluation client based company. any feedback or share on working environment there ?

Yes..perhaps in Telecom group, programatics, high speed computing, and few others more..

any thoughts on furthering my engineering career as a project engineer or discipline (technical) engineer? currently accepted a graduate program offer from technip uk in subsea division. was wondering if i should expand my technical side instead of jumping into project/management division too early...anyone offer to shed a light on this matter perhaps?

Yes Computer Engineering still can join Oil&Gas. I have few friend who doing freelance work involve in data recording, inspection etc. Join O&G contractor who deal with survey, seismic like Kreuz, Swiber, Orogenic, Fugro etc

SPAM from Linked-In is normal, but a lot and I mean a lot of headhunters are in Linkedin and use it extensively to find candidates. I get calls from headhunters and inviation to connect every week and my new opportunity is from a headhunter I connected in Linkedin.

Jet-lag lah ... just got back from taking the family for a short vacation in London .... British summer is cold (14C when I arrived .... what kind of summer is that .... got better at the end though).

for mechanical engineer, what is the sector that can be entered in OnG?

currently in my degree and really curious about engineer daily life in OnG field.

thanks

That's a loaded question because ME can go almost to any sector in O&G except the subsurface sector that is. Facilities & Design, Operations, Fabrications etc etc ...

almost any field, subsurface also included if you are really keen. Wells, drilling, etc. Im stuck in Surface engineering now (HUC). Still looking for lubang to go in subsurface.

How bout those who are from Civil Eng background? Which field can we venture into in O&G?

Anyone heard about simoda engineering can lighten me up with some information for this company? Thank you sifus

any lubang for Surveying Sc graduates. currently working under property company.

Both of you... don't expect people to spoon-fed.. Please refer to previous thread V3 or V4 and get the information from there.. Not sure what is Surveying Sc course is all about so can't advise much, can advise if similar to Quantity Survey (QS). As for Civil, subject static, solid mechanic, structural are in your course, so you can venture to structural engineering..

As for conclusion, if you are fresh graduate with flying colour result + good SPM result.. chance to enter oil & gas as graduate trainee or junior is high.. if not, you need to join oil & gas/Sub-con, gain your knowledge and experience, before join big player..

I wonder people still looking at SPM results ?

History of your excellently maybe...

hmm i think some still ask for it, i was asked for it when i joined the mnc comp im at now.

I've been asked too by big player.. lucky I'm not lazy during SPM..

haha maybe...are you in O&G industry also ?

mind telling which company are you in now ?
if that's the case then it's a bonus for me in future...

yup... kuli only...

really or not?
What type of kuli?
