I'm facing the same problem as most of the fresh graduates here.

Here's a little about myself. I graduated from the Russian Federation with a degree in Aeronautical and Rocket Engineering in 2011 and I've been working in the aircraft maintenance industry since then. I've been trying to secure a position in the oil and gas industry, preferably drilling and mechanical. But I've never gotten positive feedback from any of the companies I've applied to. The closest I've ever gotten is a phone call from Nabors but they never got back to me. I even tried Petronas Cari Gali for their operations in Turkmenistan because I speak Russian fluently but they were looking for experienced employees. I'm Sabahan but currently working in Terengganu. I've been away from home for the better part of the decade so location is not a factor for me.

So should I just give up on Oil & Gas?  cry.gif

Do you like to work and stay overseas? Have you considered a career in diplomatic service? Your fluency in Russian will definitely give you an extra advantage over the others. But this career will be government pay grade laaa...

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

As long as you are not extremely fobia with the water and follow all the instructions correctly, you will pass..

It is just water confident and techniques for escape from chopper.

Other such as fire fighting, first aid...nothing.

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

Anyone work at Murphy Oil? I recently got a call about some availability in Murphy. My background is on the exploration/subsurface support side. The biggest concern however is the recent announcement by Murphy that they'll be selling off a large percentage of their Malaysian assets but I'm also wondering about company culture etc.

Ha ha cowboy gak. How different is Murphy compared to the other small US based companies eg. Hess or the former Newfield? I heard good things from 1-2 friends about Hess and Newfield pre Sapura Kencana, not so much about Murphy. A bit worried about stability I guess since Murphy's announced that they're selling off Malaysian assets. Why are they hiring when they're downsizing?

That's why I said its a cowboy company! smile.gif

currently graduating soon from Mechanical Engineering course. would want to venture into O&G as a field of career. however i do not possess high CGPA (above 3, but not more than 3.5 which is the minimum requirement by most of the O&G company)

my question is, does low CGPA really stands no chance in joining the O&G field?

for a fresh graduate applying for O&G job, is there any advices based on experience by the people here for us?

thank you
*
CGPA slightly above 3.0 is okay. Prepare a good and credible looking resume. But don t BS your resume, at least not yet at your level (fresh graduate). The prospective employers are smart people, mind you.

the project management is the one that's a concern. they can hire the bestest people in the industry, but if the company sucks at PM, fabrication project will suffer.

betul tu. these days young grads all joining for the wrong reasons. yes we work for money n all, but remember this nothing comes easy.

many in the industry may have big paycheck but ask them if they are just going kaki in office/field.

no single type of job pays damn high, but you senang lenang goyang bontot punya. even those famous footballers pon work hard. laugh.gif

chose the career path you like, not just for the money. the money will come when you do it the right way.[cool.gif

we hired a fresh graduate engineer who won the gold medal for being top of his class upon graduation.

he's hard working, very smart, and learnt very fast.

but he quit o&g after 5 years in it.

he's now in real estate industry and he is doing very well (money-wise).

his engineering degree never prepared for him to have a career in real estate, but he found his passion in the real estate industry when he was working in the hectic o&g environment.

lesson of the story is: go after a career that you are passionate about. you are bound to discover that working for a career that seems to promise of hefty monetary return will probably not fulfil your actual needs.

I heard that Murphy's mode of medivac from its Msia fixed offshore platforms is to engage a military chopper to lift the poor soul off the platform in a stretcher hung down from the chopper, and to onshore medical facility.

Really cowboy stylelaa, this company. :0

Hi, just a question, is somebody with Biology major needed in oil and gas? Say a degree in molecular biology?

Highly unlikely. A chemistry major graduate has better chance, in the EIA assessment field as an example. We have a lady with PhD in chemistry specialising in that area in our company.
