May I know are there opportunities that I could pursue in this field? I'm willing to start from the bottom. Probably an entry level mud engineer, where I checked from wiki that a degree may not be necessary in this position. Besides that I'm started to read more on oil and gas production ebooks online.

Need advice here,
Should I go for NDT/NIOSH or just is it okay with my degree in mechanical to work in this field?

Be careful friends...For those who are working on the rigs/platforms please keep focus on the job even though you have to work during Hari Raya...hehehe...

Batam is like u work in oversea, company pay their worker in USD or SGD in Batam..

hi, i'm new here.

currently im working in of the O&G vendor as technical engineer for supplying variety of pumps for onshore and offshore usage (but more suitable as kuli only  )

I'm really lack of exposure in this field and actually i was aiming for services or operation kind of job. I'm joining this discussion to get more networking and knowledge with all brother and taiko2 here if possible 

Any idea on how to enter services company? starting with local company also ok. Gain experience first, salary second.

if u ask me,  i will choose technip...because they are strong in EPCCIC..

For aker i know they have subsea facilities in port klang and also aker engineering at Menara HLA... but according to my friend which working in MMHE and they are team was built a FPSO Cendor told a bit frustrated with design by Aker which is screwed up and effect the delay of EPCC project

If anyone thinking to sit for IADC/IWCF well control course to boost their career (which I dont know it happens or not), I suggest you have/read some basic drilling knowledge and principles and also the well control equipments.

Secondly, please choose the correct training provider. Some instructors will teach you how to answer the exam questions without telling the theory behind it and this will make you struggle. And if you want, I suggest you start with IADC first...

I'm not telling that you will not pass the exam but for your benefit especially for those who are self-sponsored,I hope you dont risk your usd2000 for something that you will just stressed your mind thinking to only pass the exam.

Just sharing...

Hi guys! Been quite some time since i last post something here.

Wanna ask if anyone here is working in weatherford singapore..

Oh...this one at loyang.

13.3/8”, K55, 68 lb/ft casing is to be landed and cemented to surface inside 17.1/2” hole.
The planned casing shoe is at 5,000 ft TVD below the cementing head.
The shoe track is 80 ft long.
On bumping the plug at the top of the shoetrack, the casing is to be pressure tested.
Take the nominal wall thickness of 68 lb/ft casing as 0.480”.
Following the test, pressure inside the casing is bled off at the cement unit.
Assuming the casing has been cemented with 16 ppg cement and displaced with 10.0 ppg mud,
What collapse pressure is applied to the casing 80 ft above the casing shoe? 
Assume cementing head elevation is equal to the top of cement (TOC) in the 13.3/8” x 17.1/2” annulus. (1,535 psi)

mud loggers usually have much more sensor in the surface than mlwd system surface sensor. mlwd surface sensor is mainly for signal detection and depth tracking while mud loggers also have the same set of sensor as the mlwd system but also have additional sensor to monitor mud pit level, the trip tank level, H2S and combustible gas sensor, pump stroke counter, surface torque, surface rpm and so much more.

but what mud logging system does not have is downhole sensor for formation evaluation. mud logging system is based purely on surface sensors.

mlwd does not care about trip in sheet, running casing or cementing while mud loggers still need to monitor the well during this operation.

fresh graduates nowadays aiming for big companies only, and never paid attention to other so-called small companies. Some of them even reject offers from this small companies, and wait for big companies to call and etc.

i'm working with vendor/supplier in ong currently, and of course the pay is not as big as the client. but in term of career advancement, i believe you'll learn more in this side, rather than the another. that's good for you experience and knowledge. you can jump ships after 3-4 years, and maybe at the end, you'll end up at client side too, who knows?

my advice is work your way up. dont just jump straightaway. yes, you can do that but dont ever underestimates the other companies as well..

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.

Dear all sifus,

I got an offer from UTP to study degree in petroleum geoscience and it will be starting in January 2014.
I need advise from all sifus whether should I go or not because i am from diploma mechanical engineering..I am confused   
is this 2 course related to each other and is it suitable for a mechanical engineering student to do petroleum geoscience ?  
please give me some idea..
thank you guys in advance

Petronas hire a lot for downstream, preparation for Pengerang...sum more, depend on your experience etc. if you can perform well during interview...no issue into getting upstream or downstream...

Hi OnG'ians,
Just a thought, what are the chances of an M&E Engineer in the building construction to join OnG? Currently I'm having a 5 years plus of experience in the construction industry. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

2-3 times of present salary but reject the offer? wow
