debosky: ^^ Shouldn't your gas engineering final year project be focused on addressing a technical issue or doing research into a particular area?

debosky: This topic will add little or nothing to your technical understanding as a gas engineer - do something that stretches you and develops you technically instead of just writing a general essay on challenges and opportunities.

As a suggestion - you can look into various production and consumption scenarios that would affect the Nigerian Gas Master Plan (NGMP) - the following link should provide you with a headstart http://www.advocaat-law.com/userfilesadvocaat/file/Advocaat-Gas%20Masterplan.pdf

The current plan calls for 3 main central processing facilities - you can pick one of these and do an analysis on how various projects may impact or change the capacity/pipeline infrastructure related to each facility.

For example - if OKLNG doesn't get built, what impact does that have on the western gas transmission system? What pipeline capacity will be required for Lagos based on forecast economic growth/gas consumption? Is it better to have one big pipeline to Lagos or two smaller ones?

Try to stretch yourself a bit - I know there are challenges, but you can still strive for excellence within those constraints.

x-fire:

Yea, go for something that will add value to you. Your final year project is very important. You will most likely refer to it during postgraduate admissions and scholarship interviews, job interviews, etc. For example, you will make a technical presentation if you go for Shell Recruitment Day (SRD) which most likely will be your final year project. Besides, most interviewers in major oil coys will ask you about your final year project. I can go on and on but I stop here.
If you have the opportunity to change, please do change. But if not possible, it's fine. Just put in your best and slam an A. Cheers

isidollarboy: please bro do you know how much an entry level(hnd) workers of NNPC earns??

AjanleKoko:

Yes and yes.
I think for the MNCs, experience only counts for the field workers - drillers, riggers, reservoir and facilities people. I know someone who was recently hired as a driller for $15k a month, on a 2-year contract.
But for the aptitude test crowd, it's more or less your level of education, then maybe type and class of degree. So someone who already has a masters degree or Phd, with no work experience, will earn more, and will be on a different level than someone with just a Bsc. Makes sense though, advanced degrees can stand in stead of experience in my view.

delbourg: Pls house what is the salary range for graduate trainees at NLNG,An unconfirmed report has it that they currently pay the highest for 'experienced engineers' among the upstream companies;even higher than TOTAL

Hese: Hello house! I wrote dis technician training aptitude test on Oct 12 at lagos.For the next phase of the screening, we were told dat it is technical skill test.Pliz house,anyone that knows how d next phase of total E&P recruitment is like should pliz help out.Thank u o'o'o'.

italkmoses: Did you survive this stage through to the the next stage?

If yes, have they started inviting for the third stage; I mean the Interview?

tanimola22: Hi House Members, Good evening to all of you!

Someone recently told me that the[b] yearly[/b] take home pay of an entry level engineer [/b]working for [b]Total Nigeria is 11 Million Naira. I know that Shell pays 6 Million Naira per year, but I find it difficult to believe that Total pays that much.

House, please tell me what you know. I will be happy to be apprised. Let the debate start, abeg.

Thanks.

faakay: Most folks working in total have got Msc abroad but they pay atleast 850k for entry staff.

Even from an insider, their Human Resources said if don't have M.sc they will just dump ur CV in d bin.

Total workers are big boys. They pay up to 2M!

tanimola22:


@The one, pepper almost entered my brain while I was eating and reading your post at the same time. You just corroborated @Gideonyte's statement. Kai, kai kai. What would we now say of someone with 15 years work experience who got into Total when he/she was 22-24 years old? Kai, Total international enlightenment day in Paris will not pass me! If na ticket we go buy, we will buy am.

Between, please I did not get this part of your post `5 years experience [b]wc[/b]'. Could you kindly explain?

Thanks, guy easy o!work no b gra gra!it will com wen it wona com.
