Thanks to my ogas here,imag5 and others. i'v always love to be a driller in the O&G coy but i did not have d proper orientation when filling the jamb form. I'm a 100level chemical engineering student but with what i'v gained here,i'm thinking of changing my course to geology possibly in 200level. I want to know if this will be a good move cos i have a strong passion of being a driller.

not a good move bro,chemical engineering is tight and you can still work on the rig,just get yourself ready when you graduate you go for mud engineering course then you are balance and pls work hard minimum of 2.1,durning. My days in school I made 2.1 in geophysics and that was my first step in being a consultant......

For those who would like to get a glimpse of the oil and gas industry by knowing more about Petroleum Engineering, get your hand on this book: Non-Technical Guide to Petroleum, Exploration, Drilling and Production.

Its easy to understand hold-me-by-hand and paint-me-a-picture approach makes it a rather interesting book to read.

It is 568 pages and sold for some $ at Amazon, but I got mine free with good google searches last year.

The book is really a non-technical guide.

Enjoy

For people who have asked for the download link, here it is:

the book is just too good. Get a note book and jot down as you read through.

Here is the link to the book:

http://www.4shared.com/office/8SmZH3D1/nontechnical_guide_to_petroleu.html

please sign up before you can download the book.

it cost $58 at Amazon but here free.

The previous one I droped was for another by mistake.

I would have given another one, which is somewhat of an encyclopedia of various petroleum engineering books, but it's now invalid link.

I am so so following this thread... grin grin

I am a Petroleum Geologist tooo, I had my first degree in Nigeria and recently graduated with my masters degree in Petroleum Geology from the United States. I presently work for one of the largest oil companies in the state of California, USA.

California oil fields are popular because of its old age and heavy oil. I pretty much work in the development group where I use my geological knowledge to identify by-passed zones and recommend drillings. I have also been trained in heat management since most of our recovery modes in the California basins are from steam injections. I have close to 2 years experience in the US oil sector, and have so far drilled over 30 wells.

I am willing to answer any questions ranging from career path, education etc.


I hail my fellow Geologists!!!!!!

Dear ojaP, Nice to see that i can actually relate with u. Sent Imag mail but seems he is selective about who he answers. Please i want to know if truely the tution is free for PHD student in USA and what are the chances of one who had his MSc here in Nigeria with a CGPA of 4.00/5.00. Also, will i need to tender GRE or TOEFL result knowing that this two are banned in the country now. Thanks

Most PhD schools in the USA offer free tuition for PhD. You have a very good chance of getting in with your MS CGPA. All you need to do is shortlist schools and identify professors with similar research interests as yours. Most PhD schools would require you to write the GRE as part of the admission. Remember you are competing with promising applicants/geologists all over the world, so you would want to make sure you write the test even if it requires you travelling to Ghana for that.

The link below shows a list of all the Geology schools in the USA by state. You may find it helpful. All the best.
