jazinogold: finally! finally!! finally!!! we made it to the front page! congrats....more geologist v com to join the big family! shoutout to the old members of this trend...imag, ideology; i am strata and co. u guys r 2much! rep uniben geology....SEG President uniben chapter!

well done pals, just handed over SEG treasury and files early this year to new excos

@idealogy, it is not easy to manufacture oil and gas exp.i needed to quit now and plan my future. i know it is not easy but if u dont plan for the future, who will take kia of u in the future. i tried to hang on but the more i stayed the more yrs i waste

ideology:
wow another FuToite welcome, but was it not possible to hang around the banking sector till you get a job before you resign. I finished from FuTo, Geophysics

Wow!

I don't know where to post this and it isn't specifically related to this thread but generally ecompasses various field of learning

imag5: Dear explorers and engineers
Have you found yourself in a situation that you never expected you would be in and you’re stressed out of your mind? You may feel your whole world is crashing in on you and that you’ve lost everything. You are just plain tired. Don’t panic and don’t quit! You’re still here in your right mind. Everything else is a bonus.

You may have been in this place before where you’ve wondered, "How can I get through this?" You couldn’t see it, but somehow you made it. And you will again. Stop ~ take a deep breathe! Calm yourself and encourage yourself. Keep in mind, who you had to be and what you had to do in the past to overcome what appeared to be insurmountable odds. You still have that power that makes you a winner. Keep your head up. Come out swinging. Know in your heart of hearts…it’s not over until you win! Because... you have something special! You have GREATNESS within you!!

God bless you for the good work you are doing. I am a fresh graduate of petroleum engineering. I just completed my NYSC in June and I am on the verge of landing a job in the banking sector due to the stiff competition and few jobs available in the oil and gas sector for fresh graduates. I intend investing the proceeds I get from the banking sector to get relevant certifications and find my way back into the oil and gas sector. Please advise me on the best and relevant professional courses that would make this dream of mine a reality. Thanks

labongua: It's good to have this forum of geoscientists here. OP, you did a good thing. Having gone through 99% of posts, i observe that most of the focus is on the oil/gas industry (seismics, Petrophysics etc) but with little on near surface opportunities (Near surface seismics, geotechnical services, pollution investigation etc). I would suggest that while searching for the bug pay, if you have the opportunity of landing a job or internship with indigenous companies that are into near surface geology/geophysics, grab it. Your experience will start counting from there.

I am a postgrad student of geophysics herein Naija but my 1st degree is in physics. I have coursemates who are into geotechnical services and are doing VERY WELL. Talking of petrel, well, i have 2009 and am willing to give anybody free of charge. It's 4 yrs old but you can still do your learning on it. If you can also download the free version of OpendTect, good for you.

I am based in Lagos.

Are you attending the upcoming NAPE ICE? It could be another opportunity for you to network with industry people

tnx alot i need petrel n well ojontamartins@yahoo.com

i dy feel u....u r trying in ur research. abeg dat non technical stuff...u fit mail m 2 me? i try 2 download m but no way.

imag5: ok there is a mud school own by Charles pepple..the guy is a Counsultant with Addax....u will be giving a drilling fluids certificate and u are good to go......another one by JC international,IPS uniport and so many my dear......

Pls how much is the mud engineering course at IPS(PH) and help name other locations and cost where on can do mud engineering course(ph too)...am a petroleum engineering student doing masters. Reply asap pls

i_shekinah: Am more than happy to read this thread tonight. Thanks to everyone who has taken it upon himself to educate us.

Am an Electrical/Electronics Engineering(Power/Machines) Polytechnic graduate who finished with upper credit(3.115/4.0) from federal polytechnic Bida about eight years ago.
I have equipped myself with IT skills over the years. I will like to know if Wes evaluation of my results could help me gain admission for a masters program in the states looking at the time difference whether in an IT related field or O/G.

And i will like to know if WES result evaluation is recognized in other countries abroad.

Thanks for your swift response as this has got me stuck for all these years.

@OjaP and 2sexy need your help as this will determine my next move. Thanks alot for your response.

@ all i still need your candid advice to my post above. Thanks for your swift response

Yeah we made it to the front page, thanks to everyone in this room and also to the moderator we love you......we are the future so many opurtiunities being a geoscientist, if you need career guide pls feel at home and ask,for geology the best way to enter oil rig is to go for field engineering course like mud,lwd and mwd,wireline and so as for mud engineering we have only two schools in naija and also don't forget, MSC is also a sure way cheers......imag

at IPS 360k with reg fee cheers

stunningjudy: nice thread. I'm Judith. I rep SPE, FUTO.

welcome on board

sholyboy08: any room for chemical engineers here?

welcome on board

9icegee: SCAM!!! People pls dont be taken in!! U cant get drilling certifications for 30K pls!!

Google jpts......it just introduction for drilling operations and offshore technology Google should be your best friend ok

finally page10, geophysics 300L-LAUTECH,love this thread, makes one appreciate the course i feel @ home,imag5 and others, u doing a good job, kindly send some useful softwares for starters, email- ra.adedokun@gmail.com, await your reply

IPS and sldtek...while in abroad you can Google MDS maritime drilling school Canada, halliburton mud school..IDP bariod,

My naija geomen abeg una don hear anything abt Environmental Health Council certification wey one feg govt parastatal dey issue? And can it be used in place of HsE?

As regard GRE/TOEFL, I will advice anyone to consider going to ghana for the exam. I would have recommend Benin republic but I believe they do only paper based test.. You don't need flight to get to ghana if you can't afford it, go to jibowu yaba and u ll sure see some buses ending there. Geology and its kind rocks now! It's the best time to join the train. Doing ur Msc in the US in either geological/petroleum field is really a smart move that I will advice any one to embark on. The knowledge I have acquired is enough to make me feel fulfilled though I still have a semester to wrap things up, I feel this is truly education offered at the highest pedestal.. I'm glad SPE is represented here too.. SPE actually helped me alot in my days in 9ja.. Please follow up with SPE, SEG and NAPE(hope I'm right with this acronym).. I don mark register, would follow up.. *wick*
