@ Elchux,
sorry for replying you late,i just saw it now, i have been checking this tread for a while now,i dont know why i have not seen it before.
I don't know the city you are now,i will advice you to find out where you can source for a real trader who will be willingly to teach you for months,that was how i learn, i did not go for any fucking seminar on it for once, those guys offering seminars does not know it, if you are a real forex trader, you woulnt have time for seminar, you will be using that sat. and sunday free trade day for rest.

What about Graduates of Petroleum Engineering?
Will cert in Pipeline design and Pdms aid employment and increase ones chances of success in the long run
It should enhance your success. Just make sure you are very good at it. After certification, Do you still apply as Fresh Graduate or Experienced? wat could be your advise on the next line of action? Do u need them in Transcoean? |

Nice trend you've got here.
I would appreciate any contact to a mud engineering company. I got the fluid engineering training from Oklahoma mud school, OK, USA last year and also have more than seven years experience as a SLS data engineer but could not land a job as a mud engineer.
I will appreciate getting someone to link me.
Thanks.

God, I'm in love with this thread.Please, let's keep it alive and also include some little info on other petroleum engineering aspects. I have an MSc in PE from Heriot-Watt University in Scotland although I'm yet to clinch that oil job. During the program, the drilling course was really interesting although I still prefer Reservoir Engineering coz of my chemical engineering background.
I don't think drilling is as challenging as reservoir engineering coz of the great deal of uncertainty in the latter.
To my experienced guys, please, do you think getting the IWCF certificate would greatly enhance my chances of getting a job quickly eventhough the drilling course covered virtually everything? I don't have any previous experience except my Internship in SHELL in 2005 where I worked majorly as a trainee P-Tech.
Dr Ferlie and co.,if I were to be employed by any of the companies you guys work now, what do you think will be expected from me, considering my qualification?
Thanks in anticipation for your reply.
Kvolander, The driller will also have to deal with these uncertainties you know?, let me leave Dr F to give insight into how chalenging drilling can be, someone already mentioned the great technicalities involved in Directional drilling . I do not know much about the IWCF certification. You can work in the Exploration,Appraisal and Development stage of oil and gas production as any of the PE functions i.e Petrophysicist- Aquisition and interpretation of logs(NMR,GR,Res,Sonic etc). Res Engineer- Reservoir modellling thru Material balance-characterisation of Reservoir i.e drive mechanism, Fluid composition thru PVT analysis. Reserves Estimation-Volumetrics, Well testing Production Technologist-Well completions,Well operating envelops, Well production Optimisation,Artificial lifting thru gaslift or pumps, General Well surveillance for sub-optimal well performance. I am sure you touched many of these areas in your Msc programme. |

Ifunayam, This is a thread for Drillers but let me try and answer you quickly before the drillers catch us at it. Oil and Gas business is big business, anyone can work there. there is even a separate department that handles all government/Community relations etc , so you have a chance. you can also work in HR! Engineering (Petroleum )is core business though, you find Engineers in charge of some other aspect of the business,like Security, HR,IT,Planning, |

Who was that, complaining about the roustabout job? Who gives a damn about the name? I graduated in petroleum engineering in 2005 and since then i've not been able to secure a single job in any of the oil firms and here is someone been offered a job as a roustabout in an oil company and he's here asking if he should go or not. For me i dont care about the name. If they like let them call me a roustabout, toastabout or even monkeyabout, i dont care. As long as i can have just one shot, just one opportunity to work in an oil firm i will be better off than Donald Trump. I'm into printing now, but its like doing what i dont enjoy doing and everyday i weep within me, praying that God should give me a chance to work in the area i spent 6 years(additional one year due to strike) to study in the university. Pls dr. Ferle, what does this thread have to offer people like me? Those in managerial position can u use your God-given position to help someone like me? Believe me i can start from the ranks, but someday i'll also be able to contribute as a top driller in this thread. We are all in the same field, one big family, assist a brother if you can. Nice thread dr. Ferle, keep the flag flying!

@ lawisong
its very fustrating , i cant see why one should spend 5 yrs or more in a university reading such a rewarding course only for one to come and have nothing doing , or worse still doing something that does not allign with the course u read
u r not alone , i have a many freinds that read this rewarding course ,some ve entered into the banking industry, due to non availability of rig jobs,some have lost touch of what to do,some ve changed to other fields,those that can afford it flew abroad for their masters and after that nothing is forth coming.
painfully enough this same roustabout job is been sought for evryday on oil rigs in Nigeria but what u see is filipinos and mexicans been recruited for roustabout jobs that is suppose to be mearnt for graduates of this country ,its really sad,,just go to any rig and chek the roustabouts ,they are either filipinos ,indians or mexicans ,recruited abroad to work on rigs in NIgeria, the militancy in Niger delta is no helping much as most rigs are no moved to equatorial guinea ,angola e.t.c
the local content thing is a farce, indians ve taking over our the upostream business and r recruiting their kinsmen from their country.
Only God will help us

You've been great , thanx a lot, what are my chances of working with the C-pepple mud school certificate and how much do they charge for the course?

I'm currently writing from P.H, i met C. Pepple at his office in Trans Amadi and he told that the cost of the course for four wks is #350,000.00($2,500).
That the registration for the next session(jan 2010) will close oct ending, and also that they dont offer jobs after the course that they will only help in indicating where there is vacancies.
I also went to met John that works with trans ocean and he told me that the wellcap cert. is only for practicing Drillers, not for newbie like me.
Preparing to take the mud course!
God help us.
