@ IBUDES
i did choose sub sea engineering in my own opinion, its a career that is not limited by boundaries and less stress , unlike drilling and production although both are highly sought after positions.

go for any one you feel you have interest in , drilling is good if you dont mind getting dirty, although you will not be doing the drilling per se, just supervisory role, good rates, but sub sea is something else, just give it a shot

i say congrats to those that have admission to clausthal, just get down to hard work and put your best behavior so you can open door for others that have interest too,

@ devmatic...bros how far?
hope studies are going fine?

Hello. My daddy is a qualified excavator that has worked with reputable construction companies in libya. He is duly licensed. He had to come back home due to the war and has not been able to secure work since then. I dnt like seeing my daddy so unhappy. Any help in getting him emploment will be greatly appriciated.

@ okeyz,

Studies are fine and tedious as well. I can wait to finish my current semester... The workload is really crazy....

@okeyz and other greatmen in da house.thanks for d initiatives here. Atleast am learning alot. I graduated with 2.1 in Elect/Elect and computer engineering. I did my I.T and nysc in a computer networking firm. I hv also acquired certifications on Cisco. But ryt nw i want to venture into oil and gas industry but dont knw where 2start. Sumbody advised me to enroll for Instrumentation, automation and control training wc i have gone 2regista for at COD ENERGY SERVICES LTD here in portharcourt only to find out dat the training we wil b receiving is going to be theoritical and wc 2my opinion wont b enof to project one to d much needed skill. Some1 else den adviced me to go learn welding dat dey also make gud money in oil and gas industry.but i hv neva given it a tot in dat directn. @okeyz pls kindly advice me on what to do cos am just as confused as anytin particularly nw dat i dnt hav any job and squating in a friends place. My ques are. 1. Do u knw of a place where i can learn practical instrumentation. 2. Is d welding a good option for an Elect/Elect Graduate? 3. If i decide 2 continue d theoritical instrumentatn trainin wc wil begin on d 23rd of july 2012,wat is d posibility of gettin a job witout an industry experience. 4. @mr okeyz nd others in d house. If ther is any oportunity ,kindly alert me on my mail saviour.ifeanyi@yahoo.com even if its roustabout job in a rig @least let me start 4rm sumwher. Best regards house.

cheers.

; lets hear ur success story when you clinch the job take care

I graduated with 2.1 in Elect/Elect and computer engineering.
thats good
I hv also acquired certifications on Cisco. But ryt nw i want to venture into oil and gas industry why do you want to venture into the oil and gas industry? there are other sectors like telecom and I.T of which you are more suited , they too make a rewarding career for young graduates
well you dont have to loose hope elect/elect work in the oil and gas too.
Sumbody advised me to enroll for Instrumentation, automation and control training wc i have gone 2regista for at COD ENERGY SERVICES LTD here in portharcourt
well give it a shot no knowlegde is a waste, but if you were in lagos there is a firm that give hands on practicals on instrumentation,i will check if there have a branch in PH, cos there said something like that last 2 yrs.
Some1 else den adviced me to go learn welding dat dey also make gud money in oil and gas industry.but i hv neva given it a tot in dat directn
welding is good and very lucrative but its capital intensive, you have to do up to 3 exams to be a certified welding inspector and each exam cost about 350k!, do u have that ?

kindly advice me on what to do cos am just as confused as anytin particularly nw dat i dnt hav any job and squating in a friends place.

of course it can be very confusing and even demoralsing, after working hard in school to get a good grade you have to go thru this harrowing experience , well do not give up,we all started the same way, just hang on to hope. the Lord is your strenght

..seriously you just have to be focused that's all
try the instrumentation course as a start.you can use Google to try out firms that teach instrumentation in PH as i dont stay in Ph and may not know, another thing that i will advice you to do is , if u have some money just do a certification course, maybe in project management, supply chain or logistics or even six sigma , then go to oil and gas companies websites and apply on their website, this will greatly improve your chances of been called for interviews, it works!! especially if you have 1st class or 2:1 , use google, try the service company's and production coys.just keep applying, also u can try telecoms too. MTN.etisalat. etc

also keep checking Tuesday and Thursday guardian newspaper, there are usually adverts for graduates having 2:1 from oil and gas coys, just try and be searching, u never know, just keep trying
General electric recently advertised and are looking for 2:1 graduates, you can try their webistes too and apply www.ge.com, also go to www.slb.com/careers.www.bakerhughes.com,www.total.com,www.shell.com,www.seadrill.com,www.akersolutions.com. click on career and apply.

take care

@okeyz, thanks alot for ur swift response,i always cum bak 2dis very sectn 2mak reference 2ur posts. Pls kindly gv me d name of d company u said dat gvs hands on practical in instrumentn so dat i can contact dem nd mak enquiry abt their ph office. Although i stay in lagos bt 4nw am in ph. Again re u sayin welding is more lucrative dan instrumentation?

^^^ if you are good at something, and people appreciate it and willing to pay for it, does that make it lucrative?

get that thinking out of your head, find a career path and follow it, be the master, the rest will fall into place.

Thanks @okeys,wat u said is d hard fact.thanks alot. Wil kip u posted as i progress

^^^^^ http://www.ae-technologyinitiative.com

that is the website of the instrumentation company , a subsidiary of michael stevens , very hands on,check if they have port harcourt branch , i think they should have, cos they are really making waves here in lagos in terms of instrumentation, at least i know some unilever staffs that went for a company sponsored training there on instrumentation.

@ Okeyz, tnx a lot for the information and encouragement. I have actually applied to these companies and written some aptitude tests. Expecting to be called up for interviews hopefully, just that it takes a long time for these companies to complete a recruitment cycle, as usual. The kcadeutag info is very helpful, I will give it a try and let you know as soon as anything gud comes up. Tnx!

@okeyz, please I need ur insight on the issue u talked about how a civil engineer can switch in oil n gas career, most especially rig jobs, so please if it's not much trouble could u send the info into my mailbox.. U'd be doing a a huge favor.
p a u l w i s e g a n g e e (at) y a h o o d o t c o m

Thanks okeyz, i hv calld d instrumentatn link u gav 2me.they aint in ph yet bt wil b comin soon around oct. I wil stil keep intouch. Meanwhile, i hv an instrumentatn training which i wil b attendin strting frm mon 23rd july. Thanks once again.

Gud work peepz... Am a petroleum graduate... Kip d gud wrk peepz. More infor.

cuccon: dr ferlie, i am a graduate of microbiology with certifications in oil well drilling operations and offshore operations both from university of texas and i also have my IADC certificate...what are my chances in the upstream sector and which oda certifications do i need to get myself grounded for the industry

I hate to be harsh on you, with a degree in Microbiology, you have a ZERO chance of getting into the oil industry...into technical positions. Typically, these guys hire technical-oriented people, in other words engineers. By their rigorous training, research have shown that engineers think differently and approach problems differently from people who are not engineers. However, You may be able to get a job in non-technical positions, perhaps non-college degree required positions.

I am curious as to why you didn't study engineering at University of Texas? Did you study microbiology as premedical degree with intent of going to medical school but changed your mind?
