HI EVERYONE.

I AM KINDA NEW IN THE OIL SERVICING SECTOR, WHERE I AM PRESENTLY ENGAGED AS A GRADUATE TRAINEE.

I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE THIS FORUM FOR PEOPLE TO SHARE THIER EXPERIENCES IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR, SO THAT WE COULD ALL LEARN FROM THEM

BEST REGARDS.

I once worked with an Indigenouse oil servicing company based in Lekki, Lagos.Though the salary as a trainee then was not too encouraging, I gathered so much experience.Today I work with the NNPC.The experience I gathered from my previouse job boosted my opportunity.The oil industry is quiet rewarding so be patient and keep learning.

Hi Icon,
I stay at lekki, and am searching for a job related to my field of study-geology and mining.
I did be glad if you can give me the address of the oil and gas company you carried out you training, so as to try the place and see if i could get a job with them. you can email me directly to ohimah@yahoo.com or text me at 08028557017

I heard they are at this address but not sure. Check out at House of His Glory, Jazz 38 b/s, Lekki. Even if they are not there, u will get at least three other O & G companies there namely 1 Atlas Poligenics 2. Amazon 3 Excel E&P. Best of luck!

Hello people,

Please can anyone tell me whats the future of calibration technician/engineers in the oil and gas industry. currently am working with an oil and gas company at lekki as a technician and Business Dev.exec.
Ill Appreciate some advice thanks.

Hi Darf,

Calibration technician are people called Instrumentaion and Control enginers. What they do is work hand in hand with process, structural engineers etc and they define the exact sizing and specification of equipments. It is a very good area. Did you study Chemical engineering?

Cheers.

Idimah,
I also studied Geology.There is a Petroleum Geological company(won't give you the name.Find out) at Ocean View Place along alpha beach road Lekki.That was where I worked.

FAISALL,
I can't tell you how much NNPC pays.We in the Oil Sector are not like Bankers that make so much noise about their pay package.But believe me the offer is fantastic with lots of benefits on the short and long term.And it is better than what any Nigerian Bank can offer.

g-ben,
I also finished from OSU.Do you know Michael Ogundipe .a.k.a NADECO?

Very interesting topic. I for one studied Biochemistry, but im beginning to feel that chemists are not really required in the oil and gas sector. I have done a Shell Accredited training in HSE levels one and two but most vacancies require about 2 years experience in dat field. Presently I work in a construction firm but I would like to ask and your seek advice.

1. Are chemists relevant in the oil sector?

2. Wat other relevant training apart from Hse can a chemist do? I know there r probably some departments that r not too popular?

Anyone Help!!!

Hmm, Thanks. I really appreciate your contribution. Dat wud be PMP then. Anyoda dept or suggestion?
One oda thing, working in projects, would it require me working onshore or offshore? Question mite seem daft but I wud really like 2 weigh my options. I jst bot a form for masters in environmental management @ unilag. Do u think I can combine project mgt with env mgt? Answers please?

Hi all, No response yet?

Can I combine Msc. Environmental Mgt and PMP (Project Mgt)?

wat do i need to know if i want to becone and instrumentation and control engineer,what do they do specifically in the oil and gas?

hi every one i have just currently rounded up as graduate of civil engineering and expecting a job from one of the oil and gas companies here in nigeria , i was advised by a friend to start up with professional curse like well cementing ,mud engineering,hse,pipeline design to help busting up my self and acquire skills,, now the question is where am i gono do them and if they are really the kind i should do and if any one know some real courses please i would be glad to be directed,

^^^ take a shot at Project managment, it will really boost your chances, since you are a graduate you can start with CAPM. go to www.pmi.com, you get all you need

actually i am not really versed in CAPM, all i know is that it;s for recent graduate without project mgt experience, but if you have upto 5 yrs experience you can do PMP, CAPM/PMP are nice certs to have, i intend doing the PMP but later on, my hands are full with office work.

Hi, i studied Agricultural Engineering with option in soil and water engineering. I want 2 knw if i can work in Oil&gas or what can i do 2 fit in. Thanks

Everyone wants to work in the O&G sector, the truth is that there are not many jobs in the oil and gas sector, though it's the most lucrative sector of the nation. Apart from that the oil and gas sector require highly qualified and experienced people. One area I think a lot of will come into the sector is through the local content policy that has just been signed into law (has it?), whereby most of the services that hitherto goes to foreign companies will come to qualified indigenous ones. Just one contract in the O and G sector could make you for life, even if you decide to resign after that. So I advice upcoming graduates to look in that direction. See ya later.
