Guys, Im working in one of major operator company in malaysia. my job position is mechanical engineer, and i'm under project engineering team. But after 1 year here, suddenly this morning  my manager jz called me saying that I have been changed to another department, which is Field Development Plan (FDP). What do you guys think about this? Is it a good opportunity for me to develop my career and to climb the corporate ladder? Kinda sad that I need to leave my old department and join the new department. Any of you guys know what exactly FDP's job scope? bcoz i heard they dont get involved in technical anymore, but more towards high level work task. Any advise?

Another driller trainee program..

Minimum education requirement depends on the company which has this program. Some company have a good structured program and some don’t even have an idea where they are going to thus no control of the trainees.

I would say it would be a good move to set a higher standard even though traditionally those positions were earn from years of hardwork from bottom.

It is even better than so called companyman (night) or DE who only spend a few HONEYMOON trips on the rig and BANG, become in charge on the drilling operations!

With oil price decreasing, this thread also very quiet

Sept 17 (Reuters) - OPEC forecasts oil prices will grow by no more than $5 per barrel a year to reach $80 by 2020, with rival non-OPEC production growth slowing but not fast enough to fully clear the current oil glut, according to OPEC sources.

The sources said the figures came from an updated mid-term strategy report discussed this week by the representatives from the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Vienna, which has yet to be fully endorsed by OPEC ministers.

The report forecasts that non-OPEC supply would amount to 58.2 million barrels per day by 2017, some 1 million barrels per day lower than in the previous forecast.

But even if markets begin to rebalance as low oil prices are hurting high-cost non-OPEC producers, prices are unlikely to return above $100 per barrel until 2030-2040, according to one of the sources.

The decade between 2030 and 2040 would be the first period when OPEC will see its global market share rising to 40 percent from the current 33 percent.

Aih company declared no increment this year. Anybody got increment this year? I am from one of the big oil and gas operator.

My company gave on average 3-5% increment to average staffs. The top technical staffs are getting around 10% increment.

I myself managed to get 12% increment this year. Syukur..

Apparently the chairman felt that the company need to reward the employees during bad turbulent times so the employees will remember the company during the good times. Is it a good move? Financially I don't think so but as a staff, hell yeah!!
