Hi , im enrolling in a chemical engineering course right now , i would like to ask for advise on which stream to focus on which will be more applicable to OnG industry
Biotechnology
The opportunities for the application of chemical engineering skills in biotechnology are widespread - from tissue engineering to biosensor development and from development of an artificial kidney to drug delivery - from fermentation processes to biofuels and from drug development to biopolymers.
Sustainable processing
Sustainable processing is concerned with the principles of sustainability and life cycle assessment to the development of environmentally clean technologies for product manufacturing and power generation. In this stream, students will learn how to develop processes for generating energy and for manufacturing existing and new products from renewable raw material sources.
can anyone in the industry give some helpful insight?  smile.gif  ,  the second is more like environemt engineering , while first one is more like biochemistry
I'm enrolling in Monash Sunway Campus
Thanks for any helpful information

Upstream & Downstream question. Hard to answer. Both can earn good money. But I think Upstream environment is the best place to make big buck (and quick buck). Downstream depending of area specialization like mech rotating etc.

how to differentiate down n upstream?

Actually a lot of people thought that upstream only consists of Exploration but actually it consists of Production too, that's why we called it E&P business.
Downstream is where the processing plant is, including the chemical plant too.

Here you go, a bit of definition for Upstream/Downstream and even Midstream

its better if you do ur degree in pettroleum engineering or chemical engineering ...its easier to get into O &g with these two major.

hmm weird hmm.gif i thought petroleum geoscience is suppose to be easier since it's in the exploration phase (upstream) ? am i wrong ?

Geology is a very niche area....while in petroleum/chemical engineering, you can have many specialisation within, and surely demand for tht in upstream sectors are much much more.

nowadays young generation are very easy to get fed up with their own works...when their friends tell the HUC got a lof of money..enjoys life at offshore/site everybody wants to jump ship join HUC team...then meet another friend tell Engineering/Design working in air conditional with lucrative wages then everybody wants jump ship join Engineering/Design team..

for me, once you join oil n gas field, better to focus and develop more skills and knowledge so that you can have niche and Subject Matter Expert for the position but for those in offshore, it is different story and end of the day of course everybody would like to stay in onshore

IMO being diverse is an added advantage rather than being SME...worst case...let say O&G industry going downhill, u still have the knowledge & skills doing other stuff which is useful in other industry i.e. construction, manufacturing etc. rather than being niche in 1 area.

What was your diploma in? If it's in Geoscience then continue with that, if not, maybe you can also look at Petroleum Engineering.

Demand for both are the same.

Next in demand should be shale oil extraction. When it comes to oil n gas, it wont die.

Where in asia has used this technology?

U.S started to use it and they r less dependant to arab saudi

Getting competency cert or license are quite useful in oil n gas

Marine survey oso big potential but the course is very expensive

Keyword here is Fracking and also On-Shore. I doubt Malaysia will require any of these skills (though having them will make you really marketable ... though how you are going to get the experience is another matter altogether).

Anyone here knows the prospect and salary of subsea project engineer as compared to lets say project engineer dealing with fpso. I am a project engineer mostly dealing with metering skid fabrication, thinking that carrying subsea tittle ought to command higher salary, right? Since it is something niche, and knowing that subsea is the segment with higher pay. I am confused about my carrer path. It is advisable to apply for it?

Hello azraeil, my diploma was in mechanical engineering.Recently UTP has opened for registration but they do not offer petroleum engineering and only offer petroleum geoscience.I was in doubt whether is this a good bet or not as it's a very niche area.I am afraid that it would be difficult to get a job in future.In this situation,what would be your advise to me ? sad.gif
