mind me aasking...why all of a sudden...people from all kind of majors want to get into oil and gas? what's so attractive about it?

Agreed.
Also under hot working weather 40 plus degree C and humidity more than 80%.
They only know google then copy and paste...they read and or listen this that then want to join without consideration of their own background qualifications and experience which if nurture properly which may become more lucrative and satisfaction.
Office based senior posts mostly those promoted from field...

Hi All,

May i know what a Fire and Gas Department/ Engineer job scope?

I thought the alarm, detector, system are under instrument?

Thanks for the advice!

whats the prospects for HSE Engineer?

Did my internship with Linde back when I was a student and am now working in LNG plants. Would defo say they are very very similar in terms of operations if you're lucky enough to get into production department

Not with either of them, am with the main operator of the two gas plants in Karratha. Not really a big company like Petronas however.

lets have some interesting topic for this thread...

i am wondering:

when we talk about safety shoe,which brand carries the weight and have the highest glamour in oil and gas industry???    

Project engineer in o&g possible to earn big bucks e.g rm15k with 5 years working experience?

Between operation engineer and project engineer, which one has better prospect and better salary?

Thanks for the reply bro. Coz currently I'm working as operation engineer for one of local contractor and earn quite good money for a fresh engineer. But i jz sent my resign letter to join operator as graduate project engineer. Hoping this is a wise move for me. I always dreamed to earn 5 figures income (base salary) before 30 years old, and i work very hard for it.

Wow, u got paid in AUD? U work here in Malaysia or Australia? And how many years of experience u obtain before u reach the 5 figures salary? Wow u really motivate me. Currently  u working with operator or contractor? It would be safer to be project engineer for operator compare to contractor right?

anyone from Electronic/electrical engineer background work in OnG?

Hi,

I need some opinions frm the expert here.
I've been working in oil and gas as proposal engineer for almost 3 years now and
I'm going to further study in UK by September nextyear. I already recieved offer frm:
1. University of Leeds - MSc Engineering Management
2. University of Heriot-Watt - MSc Oil and Gas Technology

I'm confused between these two courses. Because I'm planning to work there for a few years before coming back to Malaysia. I don't know which course would give me a better job prospect in o&g field (consider if I work in UK for  few years and coming back to Malaysia)

I need the feedback soonest possible as the dateline for acceptance of the offer would be by the end of this month.

Please help me.         

Thank you.

SBM to Shed 1,200 Positions in Restructuring Moveby  Jon Mainwaring|Rigzone Staff|Thursday, December 11, 2014 

Dutch oilfield services firm SBM Offshore announced Thursday that it will cut 1,200 positions out of the 10,500 people it employs worldwide by the end of 2015 as it seeks to reduce costs in a tough market environment.

The news comes less than a month after the firm settled a bribery case with Dutch prosecutors for $240 million following a two-year inquiry into improper payments to government officials in Angola, Brazil and Equatorial Guinea by sales agents between 2007 and 2011.

SBM said it would cut 600 contractor staff and a similar number of permanent employees in order to optimize its cost base. The cuts will vary by country, depending on local legal requirements, it added.

The firm believes that the restructuring of its business will generate annualized savings of approximately $40 million, with total redundancy costs amounting to $25 million – of which $17 million will be recorded in 2014.

SBM CEO Bruno Chabas commented in a company statement:

"Although we regret losing some of our colleagues, we believe these steps are necessary to deliver value to our stakeholders and drive profitable growth over time."

SBM also announced a plan to relocate its corporate headquarters from Schiedeam, Netherlands, to Amsterdam during the third quarter of 2015.

The firm provides floating production solutions to the offshore energy industry, with its main activities being the design, supply, installation, operation and life extension of FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) vessels.
