Mr. Az.Dz. from Berantai.
What I knew he started his safety career with Sarawak Shell.

I would like to share my experience and observations regarding this.

First of all, from what I know the local companies that offering this Trainee Drilling Engineer are UMW and Perisai. I'm came from one of them .

From my observation (local companies), yes, the training is to develop you to become a rig key personnel i.e. Driller, Toolpusher, OIM etc...Is it advisable? I would say yes because you will work as a regular roustabout, roughneck, etc etc....and will know well about the rig equipment and operations. First hand experience!

For some of the international drilling contractors (Transocean, Seadrill, Ensco, Diamond etc), they have different programs, either to develop management positions (rig manager, asset manager, subsea supt) or specific rig positions program (Driller, Subsea Engineer, Mechanic, ET etc)

In near future you want to switch to become drilling engineer (operating company/office job)? Yes I saw some of the trainees (international company) made that switch after a few years doing rig jobs (still in the program)...But, I never saw a guy completed his/her training and become a regular Assistant Driller or Driller switched to become Drilling Engineer. They already have fix rotation job with 4weeks on and 4weeks off (fully paid). Some of them that I see will progress up to become OIM or Rig Manager(office job) or another rotation jobs i.e Drilling Supervisor (operating company) or Directional Driller (services company).

So, for the start it is a good exposure and experience to start working hands-on in this trainee program if you are good with physical jobs and know how to be good with people around you (friend/networking).

Later on, along the way the process you might have a better view or a better choices...

You're right about The Driller Trainee Program in Maersk Drilling.

One thing that I should highlight, there are differences between Trainee Drilling Engineer in operating company compare to drilling contractors. From what I know, operating companies will give their Trainee Drilling Engineers/WellSite Engineers some periods of time to work on the drilling rigs maybe 6 months (maybe more or less) and then will stay in the office. The DE with the team onshore will plan the wells and come out with the NOOP, DWOP, Pre-Spud meeting and so on..During the execution of the drilling program, the onshore team will constantly monitor the progress and liaise with the companyman(Drilling Supervisor) onboard.


TDE in drilling contractors is the one who physically works onboard 12 hours a day, 7 days a week depends on your rotation for how many weeks. Your are part of the team that executing the drilling/workover operations based on what has been planned on the table. Everyday (if you are driller), you will receive the Standing Instruction on what to do for that well section.

Having said that, if your are with drilling contractors for let say, 3-4 years (maybe you are doing Assist Driller) and want to switch to become DE, I'm not pessimistic but maybe not that easy because you have to compete with fresh grads, also if you with them from the start, you already designed a few well programs and about to become Sr. DE.

One more thing, please note that Fast Track Program in local companies not that 'fast' as you think. Just beware.

PETRONAS Widens Talent Search, Offers Overseas Graduates Sponsorships

Driven by a desire to grow its workforce to cope with an expansion in the company’s operations worldwide, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) is offering sponsorship to overseas graduates who are keen to embark on a career with Malaysia’s national oil and gas firm
oyees,” the Malaysian NOC said in its statement.

INDUSTRY SKILL SETS REQUIRED

Recruiting suitable skilled employees has been a major priority for Asia’s oil and gas industry since this could impact directly on growth in the sector. Skills shortages and/or aging workforce was ranked after operating costs as the second most critical barrier to the industry’s growth in the region this year, Norway’s DNV GL pointed out in its “Challenging Climates: The Outlook for the Oil and Gas Industry in 2014” report.


Based on its observation, the Malaysian NOC has identified 13 job types that the global oil and gas industry needs to fill urgently, which include:

Geologist
Petroleum Engineer
Mechanical Engineer
Chemical Engineer
Electrical Engineer
Asset Management (Integrated Process Engineer)
Techno Commercial
Marketing
Logistics
Plant Operations (Petrochemical)
Health, Safety & Environment
Marine Operations (LNG)
Tax & Accounting

PETRONAS OVERSEAS TALENT SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
Talent management is a key pillar in the firm’s business growth as PETRONAS recognizes that “an organization is only as good as its talents.” To help expand its global talent pool, the company developed the PETRONAS Overseas Talent Sponsorship (POTS) program.


PETRONAS set out to achieve several objectives through the POTS program:

To source and acquire potential multinational talents to support the PETRONAS Global Talent Strategy
To build a talent pool to realize the global expansion and ensure sustainability of PETRONAS’ businesses
To leverage on the PETRONAS Education Sponsorship Program to promote PETRONAS’ branding through scholarship program
To support the Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP)’s vision to be an internationally-recognized higher learning institution as a partner of choice for the oil and gas industry and a respected member of scientific communities by 2025
Under POTS, successful overseas candidates will be offered an 18-month development program covering a comprehensive on-boarding course as well as leadership and development stimulations. In addition, they will pursue a post-graduate Master of Science (MSc.) program at UTP in one of the following disciplines: petroleum engineering, process integration, petroleum geosciences, asset management and maintenance, and process control.

PETRONAS revealed that another MSc. program in drilling might be added to the existing POTS disciplines, subject to approval by the Ministry of Education in Malaysia.

The subjects offered at UTP, which was established in 1997, under the POTS program was chosen because “these areas are considered critical in PETRONAS and highly-demanded by the company,” the firm explained.


It has already selected the first batch of POTS applicants, who will commence their program in May. The 11 POTS scholarship holders are from Britain, Colombia, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain. Six of these candidates will pursue a MSc. course in petroleum geoscience, three in asset management and maintenance, and the remaining two in petroleum engineering.

The firm expects POTS recipients to add to the diversity among international students now studying at UTP, where currently the “majority … come from non-developed countries especially from where Petronas operates,” the firm commented.

Embracing diversity as part of its corporate strategy is reflected in the number of overseas staff employed by the company, which stood at 21 percent in 2012, data from PETRONAS Sustainability Report 2012 unveiled. However, “no ideal target has been set by the Management of PETRONAS” on the hiring ratio for Malaysian versus non-Malaysian staff.

Meanwhile, PETRONAS has indicated that it is “targeting about 40 students [for the POTS program] including the 11 successful applicants” and these students will be offered employment with the company upon graduation.

COMPETITION FOR TALENTS
PETRONAS acknowledged that petroleum companies face intense competition in the search for skilled talents to fill industry vacancies worldwide.

Given its extensive operations globally, PETRONAS’ top management considers POTS a high priority “especially in realizing our vision to be a leading oil and gas multinational of choice. Also in building global talents pipeline for Petronas’ Global Operations,” the firm emphasized.

“One way [for PETRONAS to prepare for the competition in talent search] is through [the] POTS program, in which we trust … could be a good platform to invite capable individuals to join our diversified workforce,” PETRONAS told Rigzone

Drilled by Mighty 106 ...next Bakong 1..

This post has been edited by meonkutu11: Jun 10 2014, 08:29 AM

Malaysian player SapuraKencana Petroleum has secured more work for its drilling division in the form of new contracts and an extension worth a total of $700 million. [COLOR=blue]

Wholly-owned subsidiary Petcon has landed a brace of contracts with Petronas Carigali to provide two tender-assist rigs, SKD T-9 and SKD T-10, for development drilling work off Malaysia.

The SKD T-9 has been hired for an initial five years, effective from next month, with an optional two-year extension while the other unit has been taken on a three-year lease starting in August and extendable for two more years.

Another tender-assist rig, SKD T-18, has been tanken on charter by Chevron for development drilling off Thailand under a separate five-year deal with wholly-owned subsidiary SapuraKencana Drilling Asia, due to start this month.

Wholly-owned offshoot Seadrill Jaya has meanwhile gained a one-year contract extension with BP for use of the tender-assist rig West Jaya off Trinidad, due to start in August.

Really SapuKencang...Just announced the finding on 4 exploration wells and now secured more contracts for their tender rigs.....

Sama ada client kagum sgt sama mat salleh atau ini LOCAL kompeni tak percaya sama locals...Ask them how many years they operating in Malaysia Water and how many local Toolpushers or OIMs they produced!!..same goes to my company

Lagipun, NOC tak push hard enough to this drilling companies...Kesian geng2 Bayong..

Good to have a Malaysian drilling training center. Hopefully can boost drilling personnel in near future. But one of their rig now equipped with people from 'bollywood' and keep calling their people to come working on the rig..

Bro, This is Bolehland...no need to confuse..kekeke..

They have a few offshore support/supply vessels JV with Alam Maritim (TH Alam). Maybe this is time to venture into FPSO....about TTHE, no comment. It was ramunia if I'm not mistaken...Malaysia is very good at awarding contracts to haw-haw company..maybe it "wahyu" come from top above...kekeke...

Now he also feels the pressure. Maybe byk sgt 'wahyu' punya projects utk kayakan politicians or political linked company.hehehe....

So no matter how many CEO, if politicians still involve, it won't go anywhere. Hopefully the current restructuring in their organization will make some improvements.

Someone close with this people said there are two different characters between current CEO with the past especially when dealing with people outside (during OTC). Also, how good the Japanese welcome the previous CEO when he went there for a meeting.

Selamat Hari Raya Super Senior...and all grease monkeys..

Bro,

You can see this provider www.pttco.org
They frequently do the training for iwcf drilling and well intervention. The training conducted in Hotel Istana, KL.

Yes, PTTCO much more better from Falcon. I took my IWCF cert from both providers.
