They have been saying this ever since the oil shock of 1973 which was 40 years ago ..... some people who were worried then, are now retired and the use of fossil fuel is more prevalent than before. I am not saying that it is good for the planet but looking at it pragmatically, there is currently no energy source that are so ingrained, with all the easy transportation and infrastructure in place like the fossil fuel ..... you will retire in the future and they will still be thinking about how to replace fossil fuel.

I have accepted the provisional offer (pending medical and employment visa) .... end of this year, if everything goes well, I will give notice to my current company. As for the current package .... it's not 7 digit. It will be when my kids go to boarding school (that alone is a quarter of a million ringgit a year that the company will pay). Ohhh omputih kat sini pun sama ... they talk cock in meetings with the bosses but when it's the time to deliver those shit they promise, nothing beb .... also be careful with your presentation. Never ever give them the powerpoint or word document. They will take it as their own and sell them al over the place in the company. I got bitten once, never again. Now I watermark all my slides, and then I convert everything to PDF and secure that PDF file with No copying and No printing ....

It is not cemburu tapi quick ways to get up...
and the bangang thing is, the mgmt knows abt it but fasal yg tu omptih, dia sembah lagi...
tu la realiti...

Guys how do I apply to schlumberger? I did apply online on their website last week, then today I got a reply stating "Your application has been reviewed but we regret that we do not have an opportunity available that fits your qualifications and our staffing needs."

I am a fresh grad in E&E engineering. I applied for the Field Engineer position

when I was in FSO SEPAT project, there is one PETRONAS engineer... sooo cun one.. because of her, everyday I go on-board to update her on the progress.. 
its been 6 years I used to wear boiler suite in yard, now need to dress like Ryan Gosling.. For sure, play hard to get.. ha ha ha..

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

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 ?

Can taiko taiko brief me about this 2 positions in oil n gas, client side..

Drilling Engineer
Project Engineer

career prospect, pay, etc etc...

Dont know if mechanical engineering base is even relevant to petroleum geoscience or not...  

any chance you will be able to do a masters degree in petroleum engineering with your 2.80 CGPA?

if you can, then you should consider doing a masters degree and study like hell to get 4.00 CGPA when you graduate. that way will increase your chance of being offered a job as a petroleum engineer working as reservoir engineer. you can explain to the would be employer that you were having too much fun partying during your undergraduate days that it affected your studies and hence your low CGPA, and you have since "repented" and have worked hard for your masters degree and hence you manage to score a perfect CGPA (or near there).

recently i gave the same advice to two fresh graduates with 3.10 CGPA to take up a masters degree in their field. they were unsuccessful to obtain employment in the companies of their choices. now they working their asses off to get their masters degrees with flying colours. 

Ah I totally forgot about the alternate route of grad school. The earliest I could finish at UTP (they don't seem to specify a minimum CGPA requirement) would be 1.5 years, but who knows how industry employment will be like then? People keep talking about an economy bubble burst. Our national oil reserves are falling faster than it's being replenished. Other MNCs may follow Newfield in exiting Malaysia to concentrate on their shale assets elsewhere. All this combined with the generally agreed on fact that Masters' holders have less job opportunities than degree holders  (the "overqualified applicant" argument), I think I'll take my chances gaining valuable O&G experience during the 1.5 years, even if it's non-engineering related.

Hello, I have my geology degree in 2011.  I applied for mud logger position in Schlumberger and was interviewed in April. Unfortunately, I did not succeed in the interview. Does anyone know what other companies also have mudlogger position in Malaysia?

Right now, I am desperate to get in the field I studied in. It has been 2 years since graduation and still zero experience in geology. It seems like a waste of time and money with this degree. I am taking other unrelated jobs just to survive.

Thank you for your suggestion carloz28 and ch_teo. I will try to contact the companies.

acgerlok7, my degree is from Canada. I did not do any internship while in university. That is why so hard after graduation. Even in university, it was not easy to know where to find company for internship. To add to that, they need high gpa too which I do not have.

Try Uzma as well. They have the GRE group and who knows. Usually for GPA, they give a lot of leeway for Geology Degree holders (I'm talking about PETRONAS by the way) but then again, that was several years ago. Maybe their benchmark has changed.

Supply and Demand is one thing (as you mentioned, not a lot of students take Geology degree and it is required for you to have a Geology degree to become a Geophysicist/Geologist etc etc). Petroeluem Engineering can take PE students and also Chem Eng. students as reservoir engineers.

And looking at rocks for 4 years is no fun so getting a good grade is tough ... or maybe a lot of the geologist had too much fun going out for field trips for every geology classes (I know my dgeree mates did in the US .... some of them took the degree because they get to go out and drink beer all night with the Prof in those field trips ....)

Hi ,try Uzma and Dayang Enterprise ,they are growing and have received new contract .
You can view their new positions by end of this week on our website.

Petrojobsasia.com ,you register here and start applying for jobs soon after you found it published.

Thank you!

is geology a niche applicable to downstream positions ? cuz i had no luck for upstream in almost all of the "appliable" O&G companies with
subsurface services.

geology major lo. so few vacancies these days for geology grad. z
