OMG! Sighting this thread triggers memories. I was a hopeful until after the SHL test, when I got the 'unsuccessful' mail. Need some insights from you guys. I have always heard this classification of Gas&Power as a business venture. Yes, gas is used in generating power. However, I wish to unravel this: In gas exploration companies like NLNG, what are the career prospects for an Msc degree in Power Engineering (coupled with a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering)? Your ever-brilliant contributions are highly anticipated. Thank you.

Okay first, NLNG is not a "gas exploration company" as you said. Basically what they do is receive feed gas from suppliers (the oil and gas companies) and they process, liquefy and export as LNG and natural gas liquids, NGL. Then there's also the LPG branch for the domestic market. Oil and gas companies do the gas exploration and production. But a lot of the time, the gas is that which is produced from oil wells alongside oil unintended (called associated gas, AG) which would have been flared, but then there are dedicated gas wells which the bulk of the feed gas comes from.

Now, the gas to power you are referring to, that has nothing to do with NLNG. The gas power plants in the country are being supplied by the Nigerian Gas Company, NGC, which is a subsidiary of NNPC. They gather, treat, transmit and market natural gas to major industrial facilities like power plants and factories like Dangote's cement plants, which means they operate a network of pipelines. That is in addition to their gas export mandate via pipelines like the West African Gas Pipeline, WAGP, to Ghana, Togo and Benin, and the proposed Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline to Europe. I think that is where your attention should be. With the MSc you should be looking at the power sector. With your mechanical engineering background you'd want to be at the power plants. Hence power sector, upstream - generation.

Now, the gas to power you are referring to, that has nothing to do with NLNG. 

I think they use part of their feed gas to generate their own power and supply Bonny too. If dem fit extend this benevolence reach my crib hut, e go make sense.

Switlife how market na? .......hehehe

Oh my! Many thanks for taking out time to make this lengthy contribution. Your knowledge about the industry is quite deep. If I may crave your indulgence of further questions, what in details is power sector, upstream generation? Never heard of that really. Did u mean generation of power for upstream oil and gas operations? Generally, can you please write on the career prospects/functional areas of a power engineer in the oil industry. Again, thanks a bunch.

Frank Ocean or NLNG, who'll release first?

My bad, I only used the fancy word to refer to the generation section of the power sector since it is "upstream" in the value chain but it is rarely used that way. It is mostly just called generation. I really do not know that much about career prospects of power engineers in the oil and gas sector, but ladyF mentioned for instance that NLNG uses part of the feed gas to generate their own power which is true and so do flow stations which are basically field processing facilities for oil and gas, also called production facilities. Part of the gas along the process, termed fuel gas, is used to fire gas generators to generate power for the facility. You might want to look around those areas in the oil and gas industry even though clearly they are auxiliary hence smaller areas compared to what is obtainable within the power generation sector where power generation is the core process. That's all I know. You should probably ask oil and gas industry veterans they might have more for you.

It is related abeg. Moreover, he started off thinking what he's looking for has to do with NLNG and what I have done is try to point him in the right direction.

I know but you guys are beginning to spam this thread with this 'power sector' ish. Kindly point him to the Career section.

Well said, bro! Got it! Gracias!

Depends on what you are insinuating will happen if Q3. Your thot?

Before or after the next Quarterly Board Meeting most likely third week of July?

This page still dey? Everlasting NLNG Recruitment of over 3 years ago. I've changed two juicy jobs and this Recruitment is yet to be completed. If u guys get sense make una go find something do and leave NLNG wit their phantom 10 years Recruitment or else ur mates will be thinking of collecting their pension and u'll still be here doing recruitment.

A joke I presume?

Hehehehe; JUICY is very relative.
Am quite sure those that were good enough to still be in this process are more than qualified for most "juicy" jobs in this country and beyond. Anyone who is still an hopeful here without a juicy job at the moment, will just be by chance, not because they no "get sense".
I think it is quite harsh to come here and say people don't have sense. If you have openings for juicy jobs, you can as well share.

Am proud to be on the waiting list, am comfortable with my current juicy job, in a top multinational organisation (One of the biggest across the globe), working hard to reach the peak of my career and looking for more juicy jobs like many other hopefuls.

World Bank has raised its 2016 oil price forecast up from the previous level of $37 per barrel to a new height of $41.

So be it!

for my 5th post. I think the days of suspense need to be recalled. the wait feels endless without the suspense. especially now that sport seasons are ending

The month of MAY
Impossibilities about to turn into realities...........

Happy New Month Fam

Very good explanation.

However, NGC is not the only company that supplies gas to power plants and industrial users. Seven Energy (through its subsidiary, Accugas) also does. Among the customers of Seven Energy are Ibom Power Plant, NIPP (Calabar and Alaoji) and industrial users like Unicem (cement) and Notore (fertilizer)

Jarus my boss. Find space for me for that Seven Energy abeg. I don quit the wait here. I greet you boss.
