i dont think so,why not save more and go to IPS or travel out for MSC

Please which country is the best to go for Msc in Geological Sciences (Geophysics) ?

I was thinking of Canada.

Hello everyone, am not one of you guys. Just pleases me to know we have intelligent minds yet
Thumbs up guys.

I have an MSc in petroleum geoscience from the UK. UK schools are not good the entire programme was rushed (ITs a 1 year prog) I think US or Canada is better cos its 2 years and more detailed. U get better value for ur money. Many of my collegues from naija made comments like I wish I could get my money back at the end of the programme. Except if, only if u already have years of experience in the oil and gas industry then u'ld be ok.

Check the Center of Excellence in Geosciences, they offer MSc Petroleum geophysics and Evaluation Studies. It is sponsored by SHELL at their Center in University of Benin.

Eeyah, so sorry about that.

Hi, I graduated from geology dept in 2011. the subject combination is I used maths, english, chemistry and physics. That was in 2006. I doubt if anythng has changed. U shd b good wit dese sub combination.

Geology 2011 set who be this. na Masterpiece

Please its advisable for someone who had it 1st degree in MATHEMATICS to go for master in GEOPHYSICS. THANKS

please, which uni is the best to go for in nigeria

@imag5, Please I am serious about building a career in NDT, like I said earlier, I have certifications but minimal experience. Judging from your wealth of experience, can you please link me up with NDT companies I can intern or train with or send me some of your contact links. My email address is dolapomichael@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks as usual

My advice for such person is to go for skills...certificate course like roustabout,roughneck,cementers,mud engineering. wireline and so many,but with lower credit i think is high time he goes for his PGD in a good sch like uniport and it not that expensive,and also prayers will work,i know of a guy that paid 250k to an oil coy called weltek in ph just to learn welding and fabrication and he was not paid a dime after his traning for one year the company retain him and now He handles a project currently at Afam project for the comapny is a big boy, Story line.....pls dont despise little beginning and learn to sacrifice what u have to get what u want,even if it makes u to drink garri for one year.....according to wizkid suffer does not kill it makes u to be strong.....pls tell him to get a skill like Boseit,HSE and do his PGD and let him be patient...cheers.....umf

Please bro, like how many month or days is HSE programme. I am currently serving at Anambra state but were asked to pay 10k for it. It is a two days programme here

It is possible to do it. What I would advise is that you start to familiarise yourself with the 'jargonous' world of geology little by little before you start the programme. As a mathematician, the physics part of geophysics should be easier to grab quickly.

pls am a siwes student of geology where can one get WinResist software to download

Great minds...i greet d haux,i need information/assistance to get a suitable company that i can do my internship (I.T) that starts July...preferably in ph or nearby states...Godbless

if you are based in lagos lemme know cos I can get it installed on ur system and teach u how to use it.

imag5:
pls though the curriculum of ispon is not cool ie not satisfied with their training but currently there is a politics going on in Safety in Nigeria, if you don't have ISPON INSTITUTE OF SAFETY PROFESSIONAL OF Nigeria.it will be difficult for you to get Hse role except you go for advance safety like Nebosh igc, so i will tell you the truth it is not worth it,for now anything outside ispon it will be difficult, so please go for Nisp or Ispon the system has been politicized. So don't waste your money just go for Ispon Hse general and level 3.

Imag5 ,my boss always on point . Thank you very much for your wealth of advice. I would have gone lost for a long time ago.

@laniyi07 pls am in Abuja 4 my IT pls could u send it 2 my email....I have and familiar with ipi2win but where am doing my I.T they are using WinResist

@Img5: I have read your post which is really helpful. I love to have a dream career in the oil and gas.
I have intern experience with PP&QC from Kaduna refinery. Am a graduate of and have served. I will look forward to hear from you on best way to forward my career. chemistry
Am picking serious interest in exploration geoscience

I dont know how to send softwares files via email o. moreover if ur IT firm uses that software, y dont u gerrit from them cos it would be easier that way.

Hi evry1, Great work ur doing Image. Pls I have this dilemma and I need all ur opinions, esp d experienced ones. I've always wanted to be in d upstream, I studied applied Geology. Now I got admission 4 MSc petroleum engineering at Leoben Austria. Bt dad also worked another, MSc geoscience in d US. He feels that oil industry is no longer very viable and PE will limit my chances whr as geoscience has other opportunities. Now I'm confused which wuld u take? I hav limited time to decide...pls all opinions are welcomed, thank u all.

Ok why please

i have lots of unanswered questions but it seems all bossee in this forum has being busy......

Good day sir, I am a 500L chemical/ petrochemical engineering student of rsust. I have interests in petroleum exploration and production but I have questions bothering me like:
1. Should I get professional certifications or should I get an M.Sc in Reservoir Engineering?
2.How viable is this venture since I dont have basic petroleum engineering Knowledge
3. I have done my Research on IPS Uniport, IFS france, Texas A/M etc...which Institution gives proper training on petroleum Engineering Courses at affordable fees?
sir your prompt reply will do me good. Thank you very much

imag5:
Best country to practise as oil and gas professional
1.Qatar.....especially when you are into drilling operations
2.naija.....all oil and gas professional
3. USA
4.Canada
How do u break in.......so many ways just go for a certificate course like mud/fluids engineering,Nebosh igc,A pi and many more u will be smiling when u pay so much sacrifice ,mean while I would have say MSC degree but it very slow unless when u go to UK top school am talking abt getting quick job fast
