@ OKEY,
thanks for your contribution, my problem is that my job now is not deeply rooted into reservoir engineering, I worked with a company where we applied chemical during well testing, stimulation and co but this had made me to nave enough insight of reservoir engineering. I want to do the Msc to give me edge in getting a job in a producing company bc there is no carrier path right now with my present job but there is money. please advice.

^^^ Carry on, well stimulation is inline with reservoir engineering as it deals with the amount of oil in place when a well is to be recovered or stimulated to become productive.

from what you ve described of your job ,its like you guys are more into completions and recovery.

take it very seriously, you will come across it when u eventually decide to take the course.

you might still need to read up well logging too.

@ okey,
you are right as we basically inject chemicals during well  completion  like DST and surface well testing . Though I have read about enhance oil recovery as well as well logging such as resistivity log, spontaneous potential , MWL, MWD etc but the challenges that I am facing is the real life situation bc my present company only work along with people in this segment and not that we are into it in details. I only share knowledge and ideals with them guys on the rig.

exactly!! thats what you should do, ask questions , try to know whats going on , meet the guys that are on-the-job and make acquaintance that's how you learn,they might not be open to you at first but if you take the initiative and develop your self it will help you.

the problem with most Nigerian oil servicing coys is that they do not have the core competencies to carry out these activities, so they partner with the foreign coys for technical expertise and they hustle for the contracts and share the proceeds 50/50.

you should try and go out of your way to learn all you can, that's how you develop, your coy will not send you for training, unless your father is the owner of the coy.
so make the most of the opportunity, after you have developed ursef to some extent you can always migrate to better service company.

there are always jobs for completion personnel

Experience really pays high dividend in the end.

, Infact I really appreciate your contribution, I will start the Msc Petroleum Engineering at Herriot Watt this year. I have the resources to do on campus but my fear is the job opportunity at the end that is why I want to opt for the distance learning.

nice one Okey

Hi guys, just stumbled on this group and i just wanted to ask for your advice in regarding how employers would, treat someone with a Beng in mechanical engineering, a msc in petroleum engineering and a mba in oil and gas management but not alot of industrial experience, and what type of positions employers would consider to put them in

wch schoool are u considering, how much is tuition cost, wud u be kind enough to post a link?

I am Interested in the drilling stuff, studied mechanical engineering and a member of SPE;would really want to build my career in engineering.Being a lady doesn't discourage me

Jst rounded off my service,how do i get started with a career in drilling (design, research, maintenance, safety) or any other aspect of drilling.

u might want to take time to read this thread from the start, while waiting for our Mentors/Experts to comment.

@ yamakuza, no but i am going to get all 3 and i wanted to find-out what light would be waiting for me at the end of the tunnel

Pls I need a 1 month crash course in Landmark suite, a well construction software. I already have 3yrs experience as MWD/LWD. Any tutor available in PH?

honestly i dont know what to say, if you really have these i don't think u should have any problem with any human resource personnel , all u need is to package ursef well.

Aim for the big MNC (oil and gas), go their websites and send unsolicited application, it will catch someone's attention, especially the management part

but meen , you are on fire !

just start off by going for self sponsored training, depends on where you are resided, if you in Lagos or Ph, there are some training centres you can start from, but the prices are not cheap either

@ okeyz,Am recided in Lagos, which training centre is suitable and better; and the price, what range are we talking about. Thanks for getting back to me

Do you intend learning the entire suite in 4 weeks?? Halliburton in Lagos teaches it for at $3,500 for 5days (would verify if its COMPASS only). For 'informal' classes, you can learn from my tutor's teacher who is presently in PH.

mcnepow pls give ur fone number

Pls drop urs so I can txt u the numba of ma tutor or cal me on ¤8¤61243165. Just spoke to her, she kan fix up a class 4 u in ph.

@everybody came across this thread and I must confess you guys are doing a nice job.
I am a young civil engineering grad from a reputable university in naija and i completed NYSC october 2011, grad with 2:1 and very good in autocad
I wana be relevant in the oil and gas industry so I will want you guys to suggest abroad msc courses for me as a civil engineering grad.
Also, I will be grateful if anyone could link me wiv any oil and gas servicing coy for a job placement.

thanks and I will be looking forward to your replies

@ okeyz, pls check for d ones in lagos because that's where i am at the moment. Thanks a great deal.

Anybody in the house who knows any company where i can get job placement, am through with my service and i need experience to get started. Studied mechanical engineering, good at AutoCAD and PDMS, 2:1

see post #433

the ones in PH were caught by spambot.

you can opt for well design and management for you Msc, with your auto card experience it help you a lot, or you can go for SACs training mostly used by structural and offshore engineers for offshore installations very lucrative , but the training is a hefty sum,

or you can take a shot at piping design and management another hot career.

if you are serious in going for an Msc abroad, go for offshore engineering, it comprises just about everything mentioned above

cheers

tHANK YOU VERY MUCH @OKEYZ I REALLY APPREC IATE, HOW ABOUT ENVIROMENTAL ENGINEERING , HOW RELEVANT IS IT TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY AND HOW LUCRATIVE IS IT,

^^^ its very relevant , you can going as an  environment management system auditor ISO 14001:2004  .

Its very lucrative in the sense that you audit companies that carry out operations which impacts on the environment and make sure that they have good environment management system in place to manage waste and other effluents that will impact negatively on the environment, Oil coys comes to mind - because they are the major culprits ala oil exploration activities, a part from that it also helps companies to have sustainability processes and improve on it periodically

you can work in oil companies, certification companies or for government agencies that are in charge of regulations pertaining to environmental issues.

@okeyz wat of ph

i have replied but spambot swallowed everything

Hey Guys,

I know this section is reserved for professionals in the aforementioned. Please pardonmy ignorance, obtuseness and impending derailment.
I need someone to explain the following in simple terms.

Pipes for Tubing 2-3/8" HCS, N80, 4.7LB/ft.R2.

I'd also need information as to where to get them and cost.

Thanks in anticipation
