mm future prospect im not sure but if you are new to the industry i think its good place to start. gain a few years of exp then move up the ladder so to speak.

i know wch company from the type of rig u mentioned. pay wise maybe low but maybe resume wise could be helpful in the long run in securing those foreign drilling contractors.

mm how to say, since you are with the rig side you will be working 12hrs, and resting 12 hrs so time flies. i rarely see those on the 12-12 shift do anything else.

work-rest-a bit of exercise-repeat.

now if you are with a service comp, we work when our job, and during standby, no job is a time to do many things, or just be bored as hell.

but knowing you have a fixed schedule helps.unlike most service companies where even before you touch solid ground, you're off to another hitch somewhere else.

i feel you. in due time. ive been firing them emials every day even during my working hours. hope 1 of them emails/apps will get noticed

ohooo raya on solid land this yearr. ooo how i miss the smell of dirt.

happy holidays all, yg kat laut tuh work safe

my former employer got for the 1st day of raya, but my current one dont have. still the same rate as normal days.

good deal. im just getting 7 days for 1 day. and less flexibility on top of it.

maps of the oil and gas blcoks around this region.

any time there is convention/expo there will be a comp handing these out for free after u dropped your name card if im not mistaken.

you already seasoned pro bro, they no need give all those test hehe.

ahaaa havent seen some one ask about tubular running in a loooong while. as answered by the seniors above.

i was a former employee of 1 afore mentioned company above, and currently am employed by another listed above. tho just for info besides those 3, there are a few more but not prominent around m'sia or the ASIAPAC region. among them BJ tubulars and ITS.

from what i know, franks a.k.a selaut is in search of plenty manpower since they are servicing quite a high volume of rigs at the moment. . job wise pleanty to go around so to speak at selaut.

as for career advancement etc, well i think its best you experience it yourself the tubular running side of drilling. . pay wise, well u know la local comp vs mnc company, and can come to a conclusion on your own

mana ada bro. dah lama dah join.

tgh nak dok carik peluang nak tukar coverall ni hahah

very true. the assumption this is the only industry paying high is false. or the assumption this industry is easy thus paying high also wrong.

hoo now this is good info. didnt know that. guess next stop is trying to seure things on international side...(mimpi la kot hahah)

another mimpi i nak capai hahaha

what do you one a fellow red(maroon in a few washes) coverall mate.

hows the wireline dept doing these days. not much of a business in the malaysia side of thing for the W tho.

this year has been a year of downsizing. lay off here and there.

it was said about 7000 world wide was laid off. and within my base at east coast ive seen 1 BU closed, a few laid off.

this mate of yours, before this he was working in the ong industry or other industry??

anyway its good to have a bit of both. chances are there, not easy but its there. work hard for it

ahh the power industry. actually i wanted to know because i am planning to further my studies too haha. kinda feeling stagnant at the moment.

but had that doubt would my current exp+a masters would help me move on. i guess it does help a little, then the rest we work for it.

it was slow ever since they annouced the new pan msia 5 years contract. exploration and development wise all very slow.

that pecos is the cheapest of red wings. they got some more coveted stuffs wch so far i see mat salleh wear. and some locals whom sanggup buy them.

but among the safety shoe line, that pecos held in top tier. one look without proper storage, sure kena sapu.

pehh nih dah naik OIM ni....aku bole kena runoff ni kalau datang rig ko hahaha

bila ko balik kg ni, bole la ajak sembang/minum
