Good day boss, I must commend your work done here. It is not easy to keepnup with the pressures that come with work and still be able to manage such a thread with the incessant questions that come daily. No wonder you are a high flyer.

I just recently secured admission with the prestigious IPS in Uniport to study petroleum engineering and project development. I have a background in Chemical Engineering and a modicum about petroleum. Please I would need your advice on a lot as I would really wish to make the best of the MSc prog.

I will read through the thread while I send you a pm. I hope you will find time to respond to my query.

God bless.

Hello everyone, please I need your help on my situation. I have been reading nairaland a lot lately and it has become a very informative source to me.Please any advice is needed. I graduated with a bachelors degree in petroleum engineering in the U.S. Due some issues I graduated with a second class lower. My first few undergrad classes were tough but I did reasonably well in all my petroleum engineering courses and geology courses. I graduated last year may 2014.As an international student I decided to job hunt using my OPT, I wasn't even sure I would get a job due to my grade point average but I did. After three months I eventually started working with one of big oil service companies.last week I had to quit my job due to issues of work permit renewal and sponsorship not being processed.Even my manager and hr were confused, they didn't know what to do. i was a bit down but not distraught. The job really challenged me, I gained a ton of experience and did things I didn't think I could accomplish ....now if feels like I'm back to square one. Struggling with grades and me finally pushing myself my last year to get a high grade point Lin my major courses really changed me as a person., but sometime it leaves me and my parents Disappionted that I didn't get it right from the beginning(I was 16/17 going in).My parents are advising me to go for masters, but I always think what are my chances with my low grade point average. And I know they dont have the funds for it right now but my mom keeps saying she will make it happen. In meantime I'm studying for my GRE and heading to Nigeria for the next nysc to do my service while I apply to grad programs or job hunt.

Please I need your advice for anyone that has been in a similar situation.
1. What are My chances of getting into a grad program with a low gpa and how have individuals accomplished this ?
2. What are my chances for employment in Nigeria after service?

Thanks

To be Extraordinary, there is a need to add extra to the ordinary things you do.

Geophysics is the latest tool employed in the oil industry now, more diverse, less time consuming and flexible. With recent advancement in software Geophysics have an upper hand over Geology.

Just my thought someone else can give a contrary view.

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.
Please I am respectfully directing this question to every experienced person here.

The above rating is subjective.
The rating was based on job description and opportunities. They all pay very well. Just that some of them have limited slots. E.g, it'd be hard (not impossible) to have a production engr flex to Reservoir engr. But it's easier to have a Res Engr flex to a Production/Flow Engr put 2gether.

Lol. You need to define what hot headed mean boss. Anyway, I am just looking to maximizing my time during the prog as it is better I get it early. Your input(Books, Videos, PodCasts etc) is also welcomed. Thanks.
