How strong is uniport chemical Engr

Hello Guys, am a ToolPusher and am gonna give a handful of advises to prospective O/G workers.

I have taken some time to peruse this particular topic and have come to the realization that most people here are motivated by "salary".
certain questions here are outrageous. I bet you, if a recruiter walks in here, he or she will be interested in only a very few number of people, you know why? because there is an overwhelming show of lack of focus and inability to research (problem solving skills). Questions like "how does a chemical engineer fit into an oilfield career?" shows little or no knowledge of the dynamics of the industry. So, why do you want to join??

To the main topic, The upstream O/G can be grouped into 3 segments. you have the Operators (likes of Shell, Exxon, Addax etc). You have the drilling contractors like Transocean, Shelf drilling, Nabors drilling etc. You also have the Oil servicing companies like Schlumberger, Baker Hughes etc.
The Drilling contractors man and operate the drilling equipment. This industry is primarily hungry for Experienced hands. Green hands or fresh recruits are few at any given time. Degree may not be a major factor and also note that certification does not in most cases grant you an edge, Unless you are on an accelerated course such as Assistant Driller programs or Trainee Rig Supervisor programs offered by some companies. To get in, you need to be at the right place at the right time! find the recruitment consultants and HR firms that employ for the O/G. You will be surprised that a recruiter for a rig operating somewhere in Niger delta is based in the UK and is listing the vacancies on LinkedIn and not on Nigerian Dailies.

For the Operators like Shell and Exxon etc, you neeeeeedddddd a good degree. By a good degree, i mean an Engineering degree! The argument exists that other type of graduate works in the O/G, agreed! but statistically speaking, Engineering degree is a preferred option. This is similar to banking, a customer service rep will never make a branch manager but a marketer will. You get my point?.. Now the world has become freaking competitive, Bsc and Beng is no longer considered a big deal, so, go get a masters degree and hit a 1st class if you can! yes, a 1st class is better than all the certifications you'll ever get to supplement your degree. You don't need to go learn Promax or WellPath or Eclipse, your employer will take care of that! Just get a first class!. Another thing, prove that you're research oriented. Publish papers, go to conferences and network!! If you have a couple of publication up your sleeves (conference papers or journals), you're in! trust me. Anybody can publish a paper, whether you're in school or a graduate, employed or not.. be productive! identify with SPE, attend conferences and present technical correspondences.


For Service companies, you need to have a brain! a productive one!. These people are the donkey of the industry. They do the Job! A good degree, being first or top 5 percentile in your class is a profile booster. If you have publications to your name, thats an added advantage. They don't care about certifications, They will train you, in fact, they provide the best trainings in the industry. Save your money.

So you see, your academic performance is a deciding factor how easy things get when you're out of school. For the students, take your studies seriously.

Pray alot.

Hi, please I need your advice, I studied electrical engineering, and I wish to break into the oil and gas sector, can you advice on what I need to do, being that I have no experience as regards O/G. You mentioned accelerated courses offer by some companies; which companies offer such. Thank you.

Pls bro, does it really matter d university one attended which uni can u recommend for one to do Engr?

@ 27naira.

I must confess this your post is frightening.

i heard you mention First class?

Dont you remember what it takes to graduate with 2.1 let alone first class?

The truth is that First class is mearnt for people that are academic genius.
Whose brain dey hot like fire.

Forget what some people boasts, I WOULD HAVE MADE FIRST CLASS, IF I WAS SERIOUS WITH MY ACADEMICS FROM YR ONE......THATS A COCK AND BULL STORY, WHICH ANY 2.1 HOLDER CAN TELL.
Talk is cheap.

Oil and gas companies have many departments responsible for doing many different things.
How many people in the oil and gas company graduated with first class? If that is the dumping place for first class materials.

And since i was born, i have never seen any vacancy they brought out without including 2.1 holders also.

Then if you prove your competence in aptitude test, you will be taken.

[b] so where is all these first class talk coming from?

inshort in the whole Nigeria, how many top managers of Oil and gas companies graduated with first class?



And secondly one must not study engineering course, to work in the oil and gas company[/b]

If not, they wont have Geoscience segment in the oil company.

Pls let us not frighten people here.

ayswagga5: pls sir ..drop ur phone number... am a fresher in dept of geophysics unilag

my guy could you please help me with the current curriculum of geophysics. That is the courses you are offering. Thanks

BigBizzy: I might sound pessimistic but the truth is I need information


pls where can I get relevant training in IADC and well control here in port harcourt

thanks to everyone

He just made a contribution. Sorry room, am not new here but I have been on the sidelines watching from the shadows.
Qa/Qc
Ops/Projects
Maintenance
Logistics and logistics
Audit
Finance
HR
Procurement
HSE
Production.

This ladies and gentlemen it's the breakdown of the industry.How do you get yourself there? Certifications. My advice, profile a company, know what they major in get the requisite certification, apply for a specific post e.g. Project engr, hse officer or maintenance engr. Get some ofsite experience if you're smart enough you'll get an offer to be on probation and finally get confirmed.
(Back to my bottle of red wine who cares to join) Imag. I owe you

Make we block one of these days.... Still with that coy?

imag5: where have you been Oga

I know you'll catch me, there's an opening for a welding inspector. Guess you'd send me your cv again. Men I have been doing what I do best; work and travel.

I need your advice on an issue Geo Men...
If you have a business that earns you almost 500k a month and its far from related to geophysics and you are a final year student in geophysics...
And this business is a long run business that might not fold...
will you ever still think of practicing geophysics??

if yes, what aspect in the geo field will you ever think of specializing....

thanks for your prompt responses...

Good day house,
I just decided to Google petroleum Engineers on Nairaland today and I found this thread.I'm a Petroleum Engineer ,I have an Msc also in Petroleum Engineering from Heriot Watt University with a 3.6/4.0 GPA.The irony about this is that I have been trying to get a job for Years now,but to no avail,so I'm learning to sew..... Maybe my hand work would produce something tangible.

hmm heriot watt....how do i get your cv,there is something missing...we need connect the dot
