Hello,

I am a graduate of Petroleum Engineering Technology (HND), Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun. I completed my NYSC this year and as it stand I will be pleased if anyone can help with likely companies where one can garner on the job experience--an internship for at least 6 months to 1 year. This should likely be an oil servicing company, small or big, indigenous.

I understand basic drilling procedures, crude oil production operations, drilling mud preparation as knowledge acquired in school. This will enable me to catch on quickly on whatever task I handle.

During my NYSC, I was appreciated by the principal of my PPA on more than two occasions due to my diligence and active selfless roles that I played in my duties as a good team player in attaining collective corporate goals.

What I am seeking is notable companies that would not mind to take in graduate interns, even if it means I am not paid. I am not seeking big names here (that would be a plus though) but a place where class room knowledge can be transformed into technical solutions. The reason for this is that it will broaden my experience and boost my CV for subsequent job applications in the future and if the company wish to retain my thereafter, I will gladly accept. Also, my OND IT was done at a construction company, which apparently has little to no correlation in my career path. However, that's because I studied Mineral Resources Engineering at OND level.

A careful look at the last Baker Hughes in-takes reveal that virtually all of them had one affiliation or the other in oil coy where they had done their IT.

I could have gone on to start contacting various companies but experience has shown that not many companies take graduate interns and that's why I am seeking your knowledge to know which company do accept such applicant(s). I am willing to undergo test and interviews.

If you have any information that may be of help for this cause, kindly help.

Goodluck

Marvellous God, Thanks so much. My problem with what you posted is that I finished my OND in 2007 and had serious difficulty to continue as there were delays due to death of my only surviving parent at that time.

Do you feel applying will not affect me based on time of graduating?

@marvellousGod kindly give insights. Thanks.

I don't have any more insight dear, just saw that online and decided to post it.

I think we can still try it out anyway. . Goodluck
