I dont think so. There will be internet, where it might not allow you to surf the net, but allows you to send emails. Only text emails without graphics. Free time? Bring a laptop with a lot of dvds of movies and games with you. Find others to chit chat or go to sleep. Up to you what you want to do. Some likes to read, so they read during free time. The rooms are air conditioned. The toilets/bathrooms most likely are shared. For gals, they might have individual bathroom and toilet but it depends on location also. Remember that you are jumping out of your daily comfort zone to work in this field. Either you adapt to the life, or you will quit in less than 1 week.

Heya guys,
I'm in the Oil and gas too...an open hole field engineer. Not offshore. Find it a hassle. Currently based in the Libyan Desert. Away for like 6weeks at a time. good place to stay...internet....tv room....really really good food!!

What is open hole ???

Whereby a hole or well that is being drilled and casings hasn't been installed for hydrocarbon production yet. Meaning....hole that is still being drilled...without cementation.

but its not offshore ?
where is it then ?

onshore???

Hey anyone have an idea on working oil and gas in Dubai ???

Currently offshore in Caspian Sea. The best accomodation so far, with internet, a PC with plenty of games installed, Plasma TV with satellite channels and a huge library of DVDs.

Wow that sounds great.

Anyway, I'm beginning to wonder if my degree in electronics engineering is actually hampering my prospects of landing a job in an oil and gas company. Many of the advertisements in the papers or the net are looking for mechanical, petroleum, chemical engineers or geologists. However, I wont give up trying though.

You might not get a job in oil and gas company, but you can try many surveying and ROV companies like Fugro, Acergy, Subsea7, Sonsub...

Thank you very much for the suggestions.

Dubai has a great propest in oil and gas ...
and the pay is excelent ......
Any one know about this >>>

any IT jobs?i am interested

err..i guess you posted at the wrong thread bro.
btw..anyone posting at miri? man i am hell bored here

ello everyone....im still studying in UTM jb in civil engineering....
last time i had a practical training at MMC O&G ampang...it is a consultant company....so my job is designing a platform...using software(SACS)...
i have ask my bos about the oil n gas field...n he said...this field are very challenging....more experience u have..more higher ur salary....for me...the designing job is easy...but the office environment make me bored...if i work as consultant for 10-30 years....i think....i cant make it..too bored.maybe i should go to oil n gas field working as a fabricator...or maybe anyone can suggest me any work for me?
my lecturer said....there are many civil engineers out there...doing onshore structure....(school,TOILET)...it is common...let us do something new...something challenging and try to become an expertise in our field.... huhu....correct me if im wrong...

anyone want to share?

if ur wondering about joining this career n u dont hav the right requirements jus lower urself n apply a tougher job like caterer, galley hands, roustabouts, stewards, room boys... pays r not as good as engineers la but if ur progressive. fast learner, hardworking, active u can be promoted depends on many aspects n den thrs whr u get better pay

dun even think about it if u dun even make ur bed, clean toilet, sweep floor etc...

choosing company is very important if u wanna get a job like this n wish to go up in future, do research about the job offer, contracts, benefits first

Well, i majored in com science. got a job as an engineer in O&G. kinda way off base, but it happens. they are willing to hire if you are willing to learn and work away.

Working in Dubai is great and all but that city including Abu Dhabi has a very very high cost of living. My brother is working in Abu Dhabi with an oil company. I am working in sahara desert. companies there are looking for peeps to work in the O&G.
