i wish they scrap the "discount on top of discounts" for us contractors. itu pon dah syukur let alone getting bonus.

these punch list half baked items is going to run down the budget when operations starts. to top it off once audits starts going in all kind of non sense can be found from process safety, integrity , reliability safety etc.

which then itself will result in more run down of the budget for rectifying things rectified making for an endless loop of rectification.

BH in Baker Hughes? well depends on which product line . If its completions, DD/MWD, logging and/or any downhole work, i say its good opportunity to learn stuff and sky is the limit for progress. Those you see as drilling, completions, workovers, interventions, Company man, Night company Man, DSV and above all have some level of downhole experience and have worked among the big 3/4 (SLB, HLB,BH, and red W with ford).

As for career programme these days im not that sure what the big 3/4 are doing but they have some level of training courses they will want you to attend (if you can find the time) to move up the level.

The key questions is, how long you are willing to slug it on as FE. Less time at home, at time no schedules/rotations etc etc is the perks that come with the job along with the rate they are paying. It may not be the high's of old days but still high compared to some others.

Now as for their recruitment process im sure they will have at least 2 or 3 levels of screening, might be wrong but it should be there and there about.

fluids is key bro in drilling, one of the important BU's. a few years with their mud school etc then branch out. i know many freelancer making big bucks as the projects increase. BUT as with our industry which is very volatile, you can be hero to zero very quick. money comes money goes so to speak. so dont take lightly of fluids.

As for the pay between different product lines, that's normal la since some tools/specialist gets more charged more compared to others. Something like niche boots & coots, 12k/day USD but you dont see a wild well every day dont you.

the north malay basin is a good field. plenty of gas and oil discovery there with so far only the gas being developed and produced.

who ever gets the deal from chevron if they decide to sell it off is in good stead with that block.

I have doubts on the PET bailing sapura. Since the PET themselves currently have been told to cut budget left and right by a certain individual in our country.

probably single mingle ok kot 9k. Got kids, school going kids manyakk mahai woo sekolah. 9k enough ?

on the sustainability note, i think depends on what you spend those green backs on. Trigger happy buy this that probably no amount of money will be enough.

suspension due to slow down of drilling? or something technical? crude market oversupplied?

info berguna ni. . instead of just a x lump figure that comes to mind some calculation is needed it seems.

you mean contract jobs? or specifically the type of work? (office/field etc)

Probably along the lines of redemption. Because of a mistake we cant perma tell them to close shop kan. Remove the bad apples, and there are still plenty within the company eking out a honest living.
