He he he...
Pandai la ko nak jack up kita... tp yg tu ak x pernah buat... he he he...
Dulu2 masa time roaming klcc... almost setiap hari kat situ... kuar masuk meeting petronas, murphy, nippon...

tp x pernah lg duk ngorat kat situ...
so ilmu tu tak leh turunkan fasal x pernah buat... walaupun bertahun lamanya duk area tu...
pagi2 meeting utk kena bamboo kat petronas... ha ha ha... bila dah penat kena tarah, kekadang pi low yat plaza cari barang2 komputer... he he he...

Hmmm.. u better do a research what each of these engineers do for their jobs.... As for which one has better career prospect or enhancement...
Each one of them is needed in our area...

Ask yourself, what do you want? Do you want to work at the rigsite? In the office?
As for me, even though money is damn good working offshore/ rigsite, I know that is not my place. So I do not choose it over the money. However, as part of my job I had to be there as well... I hate it especially in high seas when I have to get to the platform from the barge... When the sea swells the barge will move up and down 30 to 40 feet high. You have to time yourself to catch the ladder rope at the end of the widow maker to get to the connecting bridge.... If you are not careful, your wife will become a widow...

And if you work from a semi-sub, it is a lot better... all those engineers you mention will have to be at the rigsite one time or another but their frequency is variable...

What kind of engineering background depends on the job...
O&G doesn't quite use civil eng... but mostly we employ ppl with Mechanical, Petroleum, Chemical eng. background...
Occasionally we get ppl from electronic eng background...

Org dulu2 pakai tangkap muat jee masuk O&G... One guy I know only has a cert in biology but becomes an engineer... Mat Salleh, of course...
Tapi sekarang dah lain banyak...
But there are some cases where it is just pure luck...
So try it.. all your cert and degrees are just to increase the chance of getting in...

in downstream section....

mcm abgkik... he he he....

he he he... for some reason I do not miss going offshore...

mujur tak pernah kena naik support vessel or naik basket....
Tak ada heli... me no go...

couldn't agree more....
betul tu...

something might not be right somewhere....
so your task, cnoe, is to figure out what's wrong....

Read all postings from v1...
Someone said something abt it b4 asides from me... definitely u can be MWD/LWD engineer with that background....

In general yes... even rough neck also earns good money...
There's one pakcik who had been there for 26 yrs at the time I met him offshore... that was years back... and he has 4 wives wooo...
Me one wife pun dah sakit kpala... he got 4...

And yes, those in services usually get more pay...

Ha ha ha... I am lucky... All that I can say is, 'Alhamdulillah'.
My positions had allowed me to have the liberty....

He he he.. mana u tau what I earn... I have never said anywhere what I got...
But yes, I am not built for offshore... so I chicken out from it... there was one time when I came back from offshore and my kid DID NOT recognize me anymore... I was there because of the feeling of loyalty to the company... stayed there because no one else could be there only to be stepped on later...

glad though that everything that had happenned is with guidance from Allah.
I still keep my sanity, and prosper in my own way...

And yes, IRREGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU GO, you have to look at the total package....
and then ask yourself... what do you want....

He he he... I've never been there but have seen many photos of those who were there...
yea.. too much entertainment....

Ayoo... I always find it hard to answer question like this...
Every one is Ok... you have to know the job description for each and then figure out what u want...
How do you want to plan your path later? Do you want to stay only in the service companies side, or just operators side or both?
For some people like me, we have been on both sides...

May be that's how it works for some guys..

But for me, I never believe that..
I never got any jobs because of knowing somebody but I got the job because of the merits I have...
And in each of the companies that I worked I have proven myself... i.e. there have been many occurences that indicate the companies recognized my capabilities that I got ahead of everyone else... until the day fate had it that I got an S as my boss... already several times... I pray that I will never got any S again s my boss because I had ended up fighting em each time that happened. When that happened, screw the company.. it is not the end of the day....

If you have the technical capability you can move around....

I prefer to keep low profile... whatever you have just keep it for yourself.. never tunjuk2 one...
Always remember, god is always almighty... not u or me....

ha ha ha... abgkik nak wat pe kat KLCC? mancing???
still sgl kan?

That's true...
Others can get good $$$ too but generally better proportion of people w eng backgroudn earns better $$

camel... I think abgkik is still available...

He he he...
S as in AsS... ha ha ha...
When they became my boss, I became a fighter...
They don't like me, tough luck....
I will not sell my principle... If something is wrong, it is still wrong...
Hiding facts will not make it right... If you tell me to do wrong thing, I will never follow...
I left when I found myself cannot work anymore under such bosses

And since I am technically sound, I can defend myself... InsyaAllah...
But like I said, I pray not to have any of them anymore... may the Almighty grant me my wish....

Hmmmm...many of the equipments you have there need high voltage to run....

Hmmm... I was wondering who Ryan Gosling is...
Just google it.... Guess I never care much abt movies and what not...
I did not even know who he is....

He he he...
But I watch Korean, Chinese, and Japs movies and dramas though.... watch aje la...
don't quite care of who the actors/actresses as long as it is a good movie....
but I like Donnie Yen's movies...
