not really , I have seen people with mechanical eng. background and chemical eng. background too.

Drillers together with subsurface people(geophysicist,geoscientist,geomodeller) commands the highest pay in the industry for office job.

offshore job lain citer la bai.

Joining the Oil&Gas industry in December as a trainee field specialist under Coil Tubing. Anybody care to share some info on the Coil Tubing job?

2k for a jump? wow...thats is truly alots....
if salary is 3k, 20% jump is only 600....and ur fren is getting 2k....amazing....
btw, how they apply? anyway to increase the chances?

ye ke?
Hmm. But Petronas told me they oni hire PetE for engineering, unless you odi hav 3 yrs exp.

MechEng highest pay in ong industry is what role?
Mechie ada kerja offshore?

hi everyone, i'm new in this industry, fresh graduate from local uni.
may i know about the career development to become drilling engineer. From zero experience. Where to start? Some said i need to start from operator or technician. but they still ask for experience to become operator or technician.
any can help me?


thanks.

if I'm not mistaken, drilling was (maybe still is) done prior to installation of topsides of Belum and Pemanis platforms.

you missed out the part that the chopper would be upside down!

Man...don't tell him that. It's not surprise anymore.

Hi, wanna ask is it only Engineers that can reap profits in this OnG industry?

lol u again with ur super naive questions

as for ur question above, the answer is no...u should really do ur own research first on what is OnG industry as well as some of the jobs it offers, at least know the surface of it should suffice

Both got the job via aker website.

The subsea engineer graduate programme is still on, I applied but rejected and cant apply for it anymore but i think im overqualified with my masters and possibly too old. .Dont need PE, engineering degree is enough

The Penang friend applied via online too for process engineer for riser production. She got the job when I was in Australia, she even contacted me that she is leaving kilang job coz she been confiding in me whether to leave OSRAM or not since we both worked in similar industry. The process is just an interview and thats it, she even told the scandinavian manager that she has no idea what a riser is . Aker gave the salary she asked for but the pay at OSRAM was low to begin with so probably to Aker her salary request is reasonable by OnG standard .

My two friends are not first class grads, but they are street smart,english so-so but they speak clearly and give confident answers, so not surprised they got the jobs and happy for them.

Anyway aker is going to merge or split so something, so my friend who worked in riser says aker may not be activelily hiring people but just keep applying .

Anyway Id like to thanks to the contributors for their info and inspirational story, I got to know quite some more companies via this thread and applied to them, now feeling optimistic.

semua industries, ong included, have many divisions.. All equally successful and profitable, just some get paid more for more risks or skills.. Like engineers
But of course finance people profit a lot also la. Management, chopper pilot, diver, piping, systems, janitor, prostitute, HR officer, even motivational psychologists ada in some ong comp.

Okay I shall thank you by offering you the ticket of 14th floor

Wow so many terms that never heard of.

ok where can i redeem the ticket? coz i wanna shove it down ur throat

now that uve seen some of the jobs tat u nvr know existed in OnG, its high time for u to do a simple google search on OnG industry

in b4 nex question wat does an engineer do in OnG

I was just going to ask that question ! You filthy little mind reader

not hard to read the minds of 2" like urs

seriously kid just do some simple search on google on oil & gas

Basic of engineer in OnG may be the same as other industry but they get lot more due to offshore jobs allowances due to hardship,safety and risk. Onshore OnG engineer earns less than offshore engineers, thats what my lecturers told me.

So the big salary in OnG is due to offshore base work. The only onshore OnG jobs that reap $$ more than offshore engineer are geologists and geophysicist, who look at maps and seismic doing static model and cause headache for engineers with their wild guesses.

I agree on this. Yummy cookies for you nahhh

Ensco jack-up drilling is it? I saw lotsa drilling activities happening at Bintulu offshore right now. I know this from my friend Facebook album who regularly went to the sea for fishing trips. Ohhh I miss my hometown so bad!!!!!

Wait till I back from our family day event at PD end of this month
