Just completed my med check up.  Need to blow almost 20 times for lung capacity test.
Semput oii. The final one also tak lepas limit. Haha. Luckily Exxon med team deemed me fit for work.  sweat.gif
Anyway will join Subsurface dept. Anyone can recommend any good reading material before I report duty?
Got some time to kill off might as well study a bit on the terms and jargons. If not in first day blur saja.

Don't worry. If you don't have any underlying detrimental health conditions, you'll be fine.

For remote location medical, you'll be be subjected to the following examinations:

1. Spirometry - Lung function test
2. Colour perception test
3. Visual acuity test
4. Bloodwork
5. Urine drug test
6. Audiogram

The doctor will also assess your blood pressure & BMI and inspect your body for signs of herniation.

If you don't have health issues, then there should not be a problem. But do know that sometimes "body cavity check" is required. thumbup.gif

p/s: that "thumbs up" means something else. laugh.gif

My guess is that you'll be working as a service engineer for vessel cranes. Either that or you'll be placed in an inspection/certification line if the company is TUV or BV. If you specialise in crane maintenance during your onshore spell, you'd find marine cranes to be less of a hassle considering that pedestal cranes are the norm for most offshore vessels.

Right on the spot biggrin.gif . Service role for vessel and rigs. Are you by any chance working in this particular field? I was wondering if this job allows me to join the OnG sector in the future. Currently, I had 2 offers, one to work as service engineer and the other is system engineer for a DCS company. The thing is the service job is offered in SG, while DCS is at Malaysia. So, salary is hugely reduced if i were to pick the Malaysia job. But I didnt know how important cranes are in OnG until my friend told me about it.

That's only applicable to office-based crane engineers/consultants. Razo2 will be stationed offshore, so his scope would be more towards servicing or certification.

It will be huge switch for me from EE engineer to Mechanical. I guess the ability to adapt is an important factor.

Nope, but I do play a minor role in the execution front for the installation and maintenance of cranes on offshore facilities. Both cranes and DCS are niche functions, but in two completely different areas. One is mechanical and the other would be classed under C&A. Both pay well with good prospects, so you should weigh your options in terms of package offered, past experience, and of course, your interests.

I don't know your background, and this may introduce more unfamiliar terms. Well, it will. lolol
An overview online resource: http://www.rigzone.com/training/howitworks.asp

Sections are listed in alphabetical order so I recommend starting with:

Geology
Drilling Equipment + Drilling Support Services
Completions
Production <-- Probably most relevant for your dept
Workover

Piping, Floating Production System, LNG, can be next

I graduate Mechanical Engineering and took some energy modules in my final year. Production is certainly the thing to focus on right now I guess. Alongside well engineering.

Cheers for the recommendation.

For others interested in O&G , try reading this. Oil and Gas Production Handbook: An Introduction to Oil and Gas Production by Havard Devold. Good for beginner learning production side of the business.

I hope all the otais here can give me advice.

I have graduated from UTP (non Petronas scholar) in Chemical Engineering last year and decided to take a break for one year before actively looking for jobs. My CGPA is slightly below 3.00..What should I do? Go to big players or small companies?

Apply to everyone, big or small, in anything you're even remotely interested in, now. Don't wait, you can worry about the job description and offers when you actually get them. You're already at a slight disadvantage with a one-year unemployment stint, unless you worked part time in something industry-related during that period.

Thank you for your advice.I worked at a venture capital firm which focuses on technology-based companies during half of the break. I guess I should include that too in my CV and start applying.feeling scared but I believe there is an opportunity for me to enter the O&G industry.Waiting for my one opportunity..
