Hello
I will like to work in the oil and gas sector but my area is social science i.e agribusiness and management.
Please anybody working there who can identify with me also any job opening would be appreciated.
I have over six years of experience in Sales, marketing and management.
Thank you.

Don’t believe the hype, Offshore work in Nigeria has been bastardized,majority of the rig workers are depressed.

The job is tedious and very hazardous and the pay is not commensurate with the sacrifices you must make. Oil and Gas Services Employees are the worst, many of them are on Contract basis and they get paid per day offshore, no fixed salary, no work, no pay.

No payoffs no severance package. Many don’t even have ID cards because it’s third party contract arrangement.

Please, how do I apply for internship in one of these companies? I know nothing at all. Been trying to google Chevron Okan website sinc

Please someone should drop WhatsApp Link so that will can update ourselves about job opportunity

The good thing about nairaland is you’ll never know me so I can write everything and not worry about my identity.
I work offshore and my Wife works offshore(Sub-sea Engineer). I work 2weeks tour while she works 4weeks tour.
The surest way of working offshore is to graduate first Class Engineering/Geo Sciences. My Wife had a first Class Chemical Engineering and Mine is Electronics. Production Oil companies won’t even invite you for Aptitude test if you do not have a 2-1 that is 4.0 and above. And now we have a lot of Nigerians with masters from UK, so its becoming harder for them to employ people with first degree. Now I am assuming you don’t have connections and your Parents are as broke as mine were when they were sending me to school. So that is one path to working offshore and I will call these people employed directly by the Oil companies as Level 1.
Another path is to be a Technical Non-Pro, eg. Cook, Secretary, medical, laundry, welder, painter, deck hands, etc… To make it easier, I will label this Level 2. Most of these people are on contract so they don’t get same level of compensation.
Eg. The average cook/laundry staff earns 840,000/yr
Average Technical Support eg. Pipe fitter/secretary/Welder etc will earn 4-8million a year
But the level 1 guys earn more.
Eg. Personally I earned a total remuneration of 32million last year and my wife Earned 23million last year. (I work for the majors while my Wife works for a Drilling Company – the majors(Exxonmobil / Total/ Shell / Chevron / Agip) always pay more than the drilling (Schlumberger / Transocean / Halliburton)
So the first thing I want those who want to work offshore to do is decide what type of job they want to do offshore. Do you want to be Level 1 or Level 2?
Personally, I have 15yrs of experience and I work in a production company so I am high paying. I don’t think there is anybody within my team including the 2year olds who earns a TR of less than 20million.
So I will encourage you guys to go back to your books and read them so hard.
For me the best part of working offshore is the 2weeks off. I will not transfer to the office for a 200% increase in wages and maybe its because I started working offshore when I was 18. Plus I work on measurement and control systems, so I don’t do any physical work like my folks in mechanical who have to work on pumps, so I am on the best job in the world right now. Also, the Time off allows me to spend time on my other endeavors and For me that is the best part of working offshore. Note: My Wife hates it, but because I am away half of the time, she is managing the job until she can go back to school for her masters.
I hope this adds a different perspective to the conversation.

I am going through this thread currently, and I'm really motivated. I'm in my final year, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, OAU. Currently on a strong 2.1 and by God's grace I want to work in an IOC.

32 million for someone with 15 years of experience sounds small to me. I would have thought the majors pay better. if I may ask, are you a technician?

A professor in a federal university here in Nigeria with 15 years of experience earns just #400k/month (4.8m/year). So what should professors now do
