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?

sujud syukur la bro. your bos called and say ur moving instead kicked out. already in operator is a big plus. job security another one. at the current climate kalau nak kejaq gaji tinggi susah kot so still to be given opportunity to learn new stuf is a big OK for me. biggrin.gif

FDP-good. But not many new FDP's being approved now.. You will learn a lot about facilities improvement.. Mostly clients have field development engineer..Are you from chemical background?

No Im coming from mechanical background.

i would think if you like doing doing conceptual till feed type of work this will be one of the godlike post to grow your cv.
knowledge like reservoir, facilities, process, hardware, piping and cost estimates will be vital where you need to pull most money from the hydrocarbon fields.

if you're an operation type of guy, all these means nothing but heck lot of lengthy meetings with bosses and heck lots of paper work

Ya couldnt agree more..LOTS OF meetings, presentation slides and paperwork...hope it will helps me to climb the career ladder someday....
