imag5: My advice for such person is to go for skills...certificate course like roustabout,roughneck,cementers,mud engineering. wireline and so many,but with lower credit i think is high time he goes for his PGD in a good sch like uniport and it not that expensive,and also prayers will work,i know of a guy that paid 250k to an oil coy called weltek in ph just to learn welding and fabrication and he was not paid a dime after his traning for one year the company retain him and now He handles a project currently at Afam project for the comapny is a big boy, Story line.....pls dont despise little beginning and learn to sacrifice what u have to get what u want,even if it makes u to drink garri for one year.....according to wizkid suffer does not kill it makes u to be strong.....pls tell him to get a skill like Boseit,HSE and do his PGD and let him be patient...cheers.....umf

imag5: mean while i forget to mention that Location matters,where is the persons location......umf

ceewai lebi: Thanks a lot,will pass this across.He's based in PH

monomex: Dis iz a very nice thread! Ephraim is my name, a fresh PE graduate from FUTO....still on d job hunt.

Please, what is an interviewer looking for in a fresh graduate when he/she (d interviewer) asks d applicant "have you been applying to other jobs?"

And what's an ideal response to such question as an interviewee (graduate)? because as a young graduate, they xpect you shouldn't put all eggs in one basket....ie, you must have bn applying to so many other place. So telling them their company is d only place you re applying to may seem like a lie...lol.

Please share your opinion....cheers!

Thanks

imag5: It a very simple thing,you tell them yes you have been applying to comapany that meet your requirement and since you are fresh,all they except after your graduation is for you to look for Job..but you have to tell them that you apply to company similar to theirs and it shows you know what you want and it put pressure on them to take you....umf

imag5: Happy sunday my geoscientist and petroleum engineers in the house......the bible says weeping may endure throught out the night but joy comes in the morning....my guys out there dont give up unto you win......umf

addictiv: i am a fresh graduate of gas engineering and plan on going for a masters programme but i am torn btw continuing with Gas engineering at graduate level or opting for drilling and well engineering. i am considering drilling cos i love it most compared to reservoir and production and would want to gain more knowledge plus a career as a drilling engineer isnt bad. however gas hold so much potential for the future...and being a professional in that area holds so much opportunities..what do you think.

imag5: hello sir,forgive me for not responding to ur query earlier, what i will like say is when it comes to oil and gas in nigeria in the next 20years i will still give it to oil,oil in the sense that wells that have been drilled since 1956 as not been fully tapped out ie the depth of hydrocarbon has not been being fully drilled thats the reason more Reservoir characterisation studies is being carried out on all these well except where u have marginal field,Gas for now is very hard for nigeria to embark on because the High amount of technology to map it out except USa and canada that is working on their Shale gas, my conclusion Drilling is still the future my bro,go for drilling engineering or get a Drilling fluids ceritficate so that you can get into the system on time in nigeria or you study your Gas and practise oversea,,in 3years time Dangote refinery will be on live,what do you think they will Refine there?oil of course and people like you guys will be employ and earn big cash...so get ur self prepared for it.....ok.........umf

imag5: Thanks everyone,jpts certified drilling operations and offshore technology is 30k at pH.....hope u guys are fine.....we are the future..don't give up......if u are already a graduate sent or CV to my mail marcusimagwe@yahoo.com

addictiv:
thanks a lot bruv..really appreciate.....my deli-ma is that i will be doing it abroad and may be based there for up to 10 years infact my family wants me to stay there permanently even though i would prefer returning here to establish myself....so want to choose something that can help me get establish abroad as quickly as possible and will also be quite relevant here plus i am working on establishing a servicing firm here and plan to open a branch abroad when i go there since i am partnering with a colleague and he can head the one here..........but all the same thanks

Are you on whatsapp?

You just woke something in me...

imag5: Secret of some professional that have made it......after ur graduation go for HSE course and also drilling course..am currently done with my Hse 1,2 and 3 from British saftey council and also running a program with jpts on drilling operations and offshore technology,all i can say many offers have been coming my way.....so just try it...advice to young graduate...we will get there....some day...we are only here to make impart in our society at large..

ideology:
pls is jpts are recognized body

Sayet: i love to become a driller but i'm a chemical engineering student,do i still have a chance to become a driller?....Ur reply will be appreciated.

ideology:
pls is jpts are recognized body

2s£xy:
OP, please how long does it take to complete each HSE and for how much did each cost?

Thanks.

imag5: four saturdays and the price is 80pounds for level 1 2 and 3,with other 3 extral certificate

2s£xy:
You mean 80 GBP?


and between October-feb of this year, I blew away $1000.


Well, I used the money for my school and NYSC preparation. I will be passing out by Feb next year.

I kind like Production more than drilling and I am HND holder, Petroleum Engineering Technology. Which aspect would best suit me.

Thanks.

sorry, ve bin very busy wif academic work nd my thesis. I ll b roundin up my prog by november. I ll share my experience soon. Fellow Geoscientist nd pet engrs, u can check this out -www.chevening.com/nigeria. Its a british post graduate scholarship. Nt sure d link is correct. U can as wel google chevening scholarship nigeria.
