hi ,
what is job position available offshore in oil and gas?
can someone explain the hierachy

Thanks for the reply. I am currently preparing myself for the exam too . What kind of engineer i can apply with that cert?

S* who? my company is under fgv(not sure if glc or what ) . the job is okay for now but the industry is too slow. working hard for 5 yrs only can get roughly 5k-7k salary.

Just a question.

Currently am a field/project engineer for a EPCI contractor, still in the early years of my career. Just wondering what are the possibility to enter oilfield services/drilling/operator side in the future? What kind of new experience/knowledge/applicability that I will be expecting?

Too general mate...what are you looking for? Upstream or downstream...oil company, service company, drilling contractors, marine etc??

if one always think that oil and gas is just "offshore", then better don't join

read more and expose yourself more into various industries and understand the flow from the reservoir until supply to the petroleum we use for vehicles, then you will know where the piping and HVAC will be put into oil & gas.

more into marine actually .. can explain more about offshore marine?
i want to jump from merchant ship to offshore ship , but i have less knowledge about offshore

you want to join oil & gas but do not understand how the crude oil flowing from reservoir until supply to we, the end user?

slow, that is the time to build your bullets (your qualifications, network, etc).

Offshore Support Vessel, Anchor Handling Tugs, Heavylift Vessel, Survey Vessel..position i guess pretty much same with the merchant ship..but i'm not sure how the ticket/license...i heard there some differences btw coastal and foreign going...

My employer and other deepwater drilling contractors (semisubmersible rigs and drillships) also employ marine crews e.g Captain, Chief Mate, Sr. DPO/2nd Mate, DPO/3rd Mate, 3rd Eng, 2nd Eng, Chief Eng, Ballast Control Office, Control Room Officer...

Suggest you go to www.rigzone.com to see vacancies and the requirements for the related position...

you will still need STCW 95 certifications
and T-BOSIET

get some DP experience as well... DP operations are highly sought after now

HI all...

I am glad to find a common forum for the O&G here.

I have been working in an international drilling service provider for 7 years, doing upper completions, mainly Smart completions. I have been more of a hands on person, more of a field specialist preparing and doing installation of downhole tools: gauges, safety valves, flow control valves, hydraulic packers etc,,

My goal is to carve a career into an operator as a Completions Engineer, or a Completions supervisor.
Can anyone please advise me what I should do, or anyone who is already at the position can share how they got it (experiences,skills etc...)

Thanks

Dayang in miri seems to be a pretty good workplace. Have a friend doing intern there and enjoying the working experience.
But am not sure what services they would provide that is suitable for a fresh university grad,,
These days university grads don't make it out in the field,, they would just quit and prefer to sit in a comfy office in KL.
I have had trainees who keeps complaining, and not able to accept the shit, just give up. Hopeless....
My advice is if u cannot roll your sleeves and get hands on and work for a tough demanding environment, don't waste your time and
come in complaining how you are overqualified to do the things people in the oilfield needs to do.

i agree with u to a certain extent...i do however notice that there are still many fresh grads eager to do field jobs, because they want the extra $$

as for dayang, well from my friends' POV it's quite dull because all he do is prepare work pack and write reports...he team leads as well just to get the work permits etc...and as my other group of friends in the hse department, very relax...but of coz when incidents happen they need to write bunch of reports to the client and attend many meetings...

Thanks man, I have fg ticket for 3rd and 2nd officer, but I don't. Have dpo. Cert. Because. Most of the website showing engineer posn.
Do you mmind, telling me ur company name?

I do have. Stcw 95 cert..
Bosiet + huet? Where do u recommend doing this. Course?
Yes I heard about dp a lot.. how to start as DP and how to gain experience as dp? Most company won't hire officer without DP experience. Thatts my problem nw. Idk where to sstart

5 years and earning 7k?
increment is good right?

JOBS AND CAREERS

I took this from Maersk Drilling Website. They also provide DP training and other maritime courses.

DYNAMIC POSITIONING OFFICER (DPO)


What does the work consist of?

The DPO is responsible for the daily maintenance of the draught, trim and stability of our floating units (Semi-submersibles or Drillships). Furthermore the DPO is responsible for keeping the GMDSS radio watch, updating the radio logbook and testing the GMDSS equipment as well as assisting the Barge Engineer and Safety Officer in the maintenance and updating of the rig’s marine and safety equipment as required.


What do I need to know to hold the position?

In order to hold this position, you must have the following:

Certificate of competency – STCW 95 II/2 (Master Mariner Unlimited) is required for promotion possibilities
Full DP Operator’s certificate (issued by Nautical Institute or similar)
GMDSS certificate
How do I get there?

You typically start your career in the maritime industry where you obtain your marine officer certificates, including experience with Dynamic Positioning. Once you have obtained the certificates, you can start your career in the offshore industry as Dynamic Positioning Officer.


You maybe want to see the vacancies for marine crews (drilling rigs) in below list..I'm working with one of them.

Transocean www.deepwater.com

Ensco www.enscoplc.com
Diamond Offshore

Noble Drilling

And other deepwater drilling contractors...

Early this year, I was offered a DP post.
Currently, lot of vessels in a company which is the subsidiary of an O&G operator with DP Class 1. So there is a requirement to upgrade to DP Class 2, this company which offering me this posting was tasked for this upgrading.

DP is totally not relevant to my oilfield tubular experience when was offered of this DP post. So, it is about attitude, skills and experience, and of course qualifications. Just through 2 times phone interview, I was offered directly the DP post.

It is not the 1st question, how much is the Salary which always coming out from some fresh grads.

fabrication yard such as technip, fmc, cameron is it a good choice?

Without relevant maritime experience and DP Cert, I also wont let the fresh grad to become a DPO on my rig..
