Hello bro scantee, my kid brother presently works in one of the top 5 IOC in nigeria but willing to take up a new role. He studied chemical engineering with a 2.1 and having approximately 2 yrs experience, 24 yrs of age. Can you please help in circulating his cv. He is open to any form of assessment to ascertain his competency. I would like to hear frm you.

Compatriots in the house, the situation presently looks bleak and bad for the oil industry and going by the oil price drop, its difficult to predict if the industry will bounce back.
Many oil companies have downsized their personnel because of severe losses and more are still downsizing, many personnel have also had their salaries horribly slashed as cost cutting measures and those who can't cope are forced to look elsewhere.
Its unimaginable how much has changed just under a year in the oil industry.
I'm also a victim of the oil price slump and I can't believe I've been out of job for almost a year now even with my wealth of experience of over 12 years experience working internationally with top multi-national oil service firms on a supervisory role, majoring in well service/intervention operations with international training and certifications including IWCF, etc.
Just under a year ago, I used to receive several international calls for job as well as emails, but the situation looks so quiet now and one keeps wondering whats really happening? As a day rate consultant working outside Africa; I hovered between 900-1200 USD /day, Infact I once felt insulted when someone called me from UK offering a day rate of about 300 USD/day for an operating client in Nigeria and had to tell the person to get someone else instead, but with the current situation i'm willing to accept even a lower pay just to keep body and soul together... What a world! How are the mighty fallen?
The current situation is so bad that one is left with no option of better salary bargain other than to take anything readily available or manageable, even the oyibo foreigners are affected as well.
The telecommunications industry is even doing better than the oil industry in all aspects, it seems the good days of the oil industry are gradually going into extinction, as such will advise people to look and search broader in other areas.
For now i'm back in the labour market, searching and hoping that the oil industry will bounce back and regain its lost glory.

NB: My areas of expertise include( well service / intervention, testing, production operations, EPFs, etc) If you have any specific job offer available or have any client who requires my service; please send me an email ( petroworker@yahoo.com ).

Whatever happened to "investment".

This is why most Nigerian working class cannot excel beyond certain limit in life. You worked in an oil firm for over 12yrs and was earning jumbo packages all along, you never thought of investing on something else to diversify your source of earning and be in preparation for rainy days. Here you are today screaming.

That's life sha...there must always be something to learn from. Nothing lasts for forever.

Hello house, please I need your wisdom on a choice of MSc to go for considering the latest trend in the industry and the need for 'in-demand' knowledge or skills. I am considering the following graduate programs:

Flow Assurance
Reservoir Engineering
Subsea Engineering
Offshore Engineering
Production Engineering

Could you please help me rank them bearing in mind importance/relevance, 'in-demand' and diversity of application.

The schools I am considering are University of Houston, Cranfield University, University of Aberdeen, Robert Gordon's University, IPS and OTI-UNIPORT. Most especially the foreign colleges.

cc. scantee, and all others. Please I am respectfully directing this question to every experienced person here, forgive the fact that I do not know your handles.
