telexfree1: Good pple.
I need some advice here.
I studied applied geophysics and graduated with 2.1. But the first job that came my way was a banking job.
And five years has gone by in a flash. Now am completely in need of a career change.
Is it too late to go back to oil industry ?
What can I do ?

imag5: you can always apply for data from any oil companies...but it take time you first get a letter from your hod in school and send it to any exploration department stating the the type of data you want on your project,if you are a member. Of nape it is easy you use your chapter coordinator to get your data cheers

imag5: not too late,you can go back with 2.1 you are hot cake just go for MSC abroad or uni port,and coupled with certificate course you will smile....cheers

sogah: Guys,
Just make ur first class or 2:1 in relevant engineering courses(Petr, Elect,civil, mech e.t.c
Msc may not be necessary in Engrng.

But Masters degree is required for geology

Practise the relevant Aptitude test well!

Multinational companies(Chevron, Mobil, Total) will run after u!

It worked for me

Ezegozie: @ imag5, insort you are like an image sent by God to reflect on nairaland.
God will surely reward you for all the advice you render to my fellow Nigerians.
i have copied out your number, email and skype name, because men of your kind is rare to see nowadays.

back to the topic I will enter final year in the department of geological science @ Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, as soon as the strike is called off.

i learnt so much from this thread and i hope that God will grant me my heart desire which is graduating with 2.1 from unizik
next year, then i will apply the knowledge which i learnt in this God sent thread.
which is

1 DOING MY MSC IN A REPUTABLE UNIVERSITY
2 IMPROVING MY MYSELF WITH CERTIFICATE COURSES

May God bless everybody that contributed in this thread.


expect my call, email or watsap message soon, may God Bless you once more

imag5: Question for everyone....... The first Well you Drilled is called.....................Get this answer and win a price

up2u: Hello young professionals. I love this thread. My name is Inaya Bsc physics (delsu) + Msc Petroleum Geophysicis (Imperial College London). Currently working as a Geo-Lab Tech for a Soil Engineering Coy in Delta but cant wait to fall back to exploration cum geophysical research proper. For the young ones here, I could help with materials on petroleum geophysics on request and may be aid your understanding on geophysical topics you may consider too heavy. Hey @Imag5, sent you a private email. I am willing to join you on your research asap.

addictiv: My Oga's @ the top, do I need a hse 1.2.3. Before going for nebosh or can I leave them out and go for nebosh straight away. What are the pros and cons? Thanks.

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:
Response pls

imag5: yes you have to do it cause they are the basic

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.

Hello sir, I need to start learning how to operate the petrel software....i already have basic knowledge about openDtect. Can you kindly forward the petrel 09 to me please? sadebajo02@gmail.com. Thanks

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