Try Middle East countries, they are offering high salary in O&G.

Most of the time such company will cover it up.

Safety means nothing, as this shall be coming from heart.

Try visit Middle East country's refineries first
Is our Kerteh's refinery big? In Malaysia maybe yes. But once you put your feet in ME, they are just small boys.
Now O&G business are not easy to do especially with those mega refineries being built.

If really want to work in O&G, ME is the place.

Not an easy job for this.

Surveyor's job is to climb tank, take sample and measurement.
And no day and night, worst than shift workers.

Chiyoda is a sub con serving O&G companies.

Are you sure just THHE?
There will be more related to O&G in the pipeline.
Unfortunate? Not really, as O&G companies in the world are giving the most benefits.
Economy are good, they can recruit and create all those useless departments.
Economy bad, close the department down
Sometimes to really survive in O&G companies, just paper alone won't give 100% job security. You need to have real technical skills to support.
But not to worry much, if you have work experience and paper, can always try in Middle East countries. Saudi pay are lower, but cost of living are lower at the same time. Qatar not bad, but cost of living slightly higher. Best of all, tax free.

In every big companies in the world, adviser and HR department are the most useless departments.

Primary target, HR and adviser post
Secondary target, safety department

Sub it out, this is what HR likes to do.
Cut 1 HR manager = 10 operator's salary.

Most of the oil business companies are separated to 3 main section, upstream, downstream and trading to make the account complicated.
With current low crude oil price, upstream will be greatly affected.
But then this will only happens when the upstream are run by too many engineers and managers which increasing the cost significantly. Cut 50-80% from the top level will reduce the cost back.
Downstream and trading won't really be affected.

Downstream(over here in general are refineries and petro chemical plants).
I think I said before that crude oil is bought 2 months ahead while product price are review and changed depending on market drive(price can be changed every week or 2).
Because of this reason, downstream business will be affected if the crude oil price dropped continuously, you don't buy, after 2 months no crude to process. But after 2 months when low price crude comes, then they can start making money again. But when the crude price increases back, again they have 2 months of buffer.
Product price are more or less the same most of the time, so low price crude who is getting benefits?

With current oil price going mega sale, smaller oil export countries will be greatly impacted.

Nope, what ever the crude oil price is, they still have to buy. The impact usually are short term only.

Petronas now are on the right track, if they really walk the talk(on cutting OPEX).

Only the refinery are listed, other business are not listed as they are still making money.

Trading side the price to consumer are fixed.
When a company get listed, sure is use share holder's money to enjoy(if make profit) and share the lost(but still getting high pay) even if losing money.

What does heavy means? In terms of what?
