It's no longer news,our precious black liquid gold may never return to its glory.From about a $100 to a mere $60 Pb ,world economies especially the OPEC nations are begining to adjust their saddles for the uncertainties ahead.
It's quite strange that the average Nigerian job seeker still craves the O and G job,turning a blind eye to the fact that some 10 years down the line ,if shale gas technology is steadily improved upon,then its inevitable that major IOC will have to downsize,whereas there Nigerian counterparts,the indigenous E&P /servicing firms might go extinct .
I also crave the O&G job,a young mechanical engineer I am but my philosophy has shifted a great deal since this sad reality befell us.Flexibility and dynamism should be our watchword,for those already in the "oyel" money circle ,please do well to start divesting and buffering up,to avoid stories that touches the heart .

As engineers ,let's supply this tasty baby called earth,the energy it requires,but it doesn't have to be viscous, dark,slimy,hiding 10,000ft beneath sea level,2800 psi ,105 bar ,oh I forgot the subzero terrains ,chopper vibrations ,machinery neighbors, sharks,bop failures ....lol anything to make me hate oleum for now.

Have a great year ahead.
Cheers .
