Yea.. Valves and Measurement division. Anything that I should take note or consider before joining them? ahaha...I'm currently in a dilemma now =s .

Just call and inquire the status? Ask how's the offer? how long was the last update? As far as I know schlumberger has bought over the company. Since the acquisition is in progress, its a good time to check before they restructure the organization.

i actually applied for internship in a wellhead maintenance company in kemaman,
from what i know after i asked around, yea the prospects of wellhead maintenance is very good,
oil price doesnt really impact them much because wellhead and christmas tree maintenance is part of the regulation,
same as aircraft maintenance industry, to fly an aircraft an LAE must ensure the aircraft is airworthy..
i was inform there are 766 strings in peninsular malaysia alone.. and all of these need maintenance..

Is it a mainpower service company? Chances are you wont be going offshore. Most likely be arranging people to offshore, getting parts etc. generally manpower services will perform valve greasing, exercising the valves, connection valve pressure test and other maintenance like painting and actuator testing. Major work over will be done by the main contractor since they have the knowledge and hold responsibility on their equipment.

the company actually is an wellhead OEM, they involve in design and produce their own philosophy manuals ,they fabricate and also do maintenance for existing wellheads which i believe many are older than our grandmother..
for the installation at the platform part i dont really know whether they do or not..
yea i dont expect a practical student able to go offshore, as people going offshore i believe must attend special course from niosh, etc.. correct me if i am mistaken..

so if the job prospect doesnt do offshore work, is it not good interms of the money?  hmm.gif

These are API govern equipment. Pressure containing equipment, oil companies will refer back to the origin. They will not risk on having uncontrolled incidents. If you're talking about designing ball valves or gate valves up to their spec yes. Xmas tree wise, depends. Older valve stacking trees you can do it, block type, noway. You don't even know the guts of the existing equipment. How can you fix or isolate the system?

I've worked with those equipment which you've called grandma. It's a nightmare as the older days people don't do proper documentation and everything is handwritten. Even on drawings. Most of these equipments are poorly maintain. That's for sure.. As for their own philosophy manual, I guess they are writing based on field experience or experience working with the manufacturer. Not entirely warrant by the manufacturer.

If you're there as practical, just learn. Forget about making $$. That's not your main priority.

Guys I got meng in chemical engineering. Was having career break for years now its time to work. So forgive my zero experience. Im wondering if oil n gas still relevant as the price keep shooting down. And what would be tthe suitable position for me to apply ? I tried saja2 apply after graduation, thru their websites, but no responses, or my application always failed. Petronas haliburton etc. Some friend sometime passed me emails of recruiters, but all seemed wanting experienced ones. So, is there like im missing something in my cv that make my application rejected. I also saja2 applied to like small company before, oil gas consultant, they responded but I'm not sure if its a good place to start. What position should I really consider. How much can I asked for my starting salary. Or should I not bother much of the salary since I got zero experience in this field. I'm really looking forward to start my career next year. And, another dilemma. I got offer from a prof from nearby universities for PhD . I told him I can't because I plan to work soon. But he insisted and said this research won't bother me much, its will be related to my future work and he promised it will so flexible to my working hour. He offered me doing a research health safety in oil gas. So, im wondering how oil gas companies here responded to if I do a PhD and apply to work as well. Or should I just keep quiet about it when applying for the job.

You saja saja apply of course they find you main main, don't bother to layan

No. As long as your phd doesn't disturb your work.

Same here, finally got a job in a different industry after 9 months of job searching and countless interviews.
As the saying goes, beggars cant be choosers.
Good luck on your future prospect

Congrats guys. I'm also taking a massive pay cut. Pretty much consider a fresh grad pay on another industry even though I have a decade of experience. Rather earn less than to earn none. Days with lucrative pay are over.. Can't complain.

I'm having a phone interview with BP tomorrow, one of the panel is from BP Singapore. I do know that BP in Malaysia has one petchem at Kerteh (BP Acetyls) and lube blending & tank farm at Port Klang - besides its Shared Services operation at Midvalley. Its a one year contract. None Upstream division for Malaysia.

If let say the roles is for Shared Services operation, what are the things that I need to know? Honestly, I have zero knowledge on shared services environment, perhaps anyone can shed some light? Did a quick search, and Malaysia is the BP C&P regional for APAC. Apa yang perlu saya tahu pasal C&P in shared services? Saya tak tahu P2P stuff. All this while, my C&P experience is on project environment - construction & fabrication.

Hope that this roles is for project. If so, any new greenfield/brownfield expansion project by BP Malaysia?

C.c to mouthpoop. Sorry my PM rosak lelz

Their shared service unit is competing with Accenture and other shared services companies. Core of the business is acting as third party in optimizing and leverage BPs load around the globe in project management, finance, HR, IT, manpower etc.

Bro, I was interviewed for BP SC role in KL. Passed the tele-interview, F2F interview, IQ test but had to reject the offer.

They didn't ask much about the SC environment as I myself admit that I didn't know much about it. They asked more about your knowledge in your field and your exact experience. They also will try to link their company values during the interview and see how much do you potray that in your daily working tasks.

Good luck bro..

What is SC?
Tried applying the BDM role, but was told I don't have sufficient years of experience. Tried the AM role, was then informed they need people related to their industry. It's good at least you have a try. Got a much better offer?

What I meant SC is Shared Centre. I was interviewed for a Senior HR role.

Hurm, actually they offered me a good 20% increment however my company counter offered me with 33% increment with an upgrade of level.

Its a tough call for me as I kinda like their environment/practice as I can learn all the best back end practice in BP but you can only last maximum 2-3 years in SC before you get bored. Its the same specialized routine. Thats what scared me the most. They also unable to wait for an additional 1 month as I'm waiting for my backdated increment which amounting to 5 figures.

Anyway cut story short, I rejected their offer. Well just a heads-up, if you rejected their offer you will be blacklisted for 2 years. Hehe..

Thanks for the heads up. Guess they're just like shell.
