Any oil and gas or petroleum engineering student here who studies in English? I need help with English textbooks on petroleum engineering.

I need sincere advise on these decisions I am about to take. I intend to study Msc in Subsea Engineering in a Uk university, although the money involve is huge, i'm stil trusting that funds will be made available.

To further enhance my desire to study this course, i bought the Subsea engineering handbook which I've been reading and it has been quite a read. Almost like I'm in school already. Alright the question I want to ask engineers who are already practicing in the field is this?

1. Can I have a career as a ROV pilot technician without having to study msc? Although the training fee is high and i stil have to travel abroad for the training but it's less expensive than a full masters program.

2. To have better understanding of ROV's, do I have to study Subsea engineering? Will my depth of knowledge in Subsea systems give a better grasp of ROV's?

In the Subsea Engineering handbook I'm reading, Rov's systems are covered but not like the way the training company promised their superior training that I'll undergo in 3weeks.

And from training company's email, i am told that i'd be highly sought after and that my wage from a month job would still cover the expenses from the training. The training would cost close to $14362 which includes BOSIET certification and another oversea medical certification.

What should I do? Do this course and forget the higher cost consuming Msc or trust God for the finance for both? I really need a mentor in the subsea industry.

Thanks.

@Dr Ferlie and all NLndrs on this thread...thanks for all the infomations and contributions...i have been looking for this type of thread...stumbled upon it through google...
Please i would really appreciate your advice...
I am a graduate of Chemical Engineering from FUTO..and i have also obtained a safety OSHA cert..i so much have passion in building a career on drilling..please i need informations on professional drilling program..recognised schools in Nigeria where i can run the program and cost...anybody with tangible information should please reply me thanks

Radz: What's the breakdown of the semester in terms of months?...October to...?..then?

@ dev: since my univ. studies is in english can i forget takin TOEFL?

amblessede: @ dev: since my univ. studies is in english can i forget takin TOEFL?

@ amblessede, You don't need TOEFL for admission though it would be nice to have one. Just a letter justifying that your medium of instruction during Bachelors studies is English Language would do just fine.

Hi all.I have a degree in Chemical Engineering(2-1) amd have worked for 3yrs with UAC of Nigeria,though as a Sales Executive. I resigned on personal grounds and I'm presently undertaking NDT(Ultrasonic Flaw Detection and Penetrant Testing) in PH, to be certified on 15th March,2013. Any links to a reputable NDT organisation to build a career with or advice on a career path will be highly appreciated.thanks brothers ands sisters-ochemeaudu@yahoo.com

@ amblessede, wow.... too many questions... I hope i can answer all..

"For the lateral entry for nigerians, 3.8 was required but i made 3.61 in mechanical. do i stand a chance, pls advise"
Well, i will encourage u to apply first... if u possess on-the-job experience related to oil & gas, that might just help u secure an admission on the long run...

"the list of required docs for certification is so long, even passport pic dey sef. thru ur own xperience, whioch ones xactly did u certify"
I really do not understand what u mean by certified docs but i know u will be requested to send your original transcripts, copies of certificates, reference letters if any, CV, personal statement and the likes and a recent passport photograph during the shortlisting phase.. I submitted all docs required of me.. At the embassy, after securing an admission, some of these docs will be requested for confirmation, i had to submit all originals as well for verification.

"finally, hw do u rate ur study experienc so far"
Well, i did give it a 4/5 for a petroleum engineering institute that is still gaining grounds internationally.

"wot r the job prospects looking like. any offers yet"
The job market is tight and competitive worldwide. Every graduate of the programme stands a chance to get a job but the competition is high. High standards are set by oil & gas coys particularly when qualified candidates are numerous. There are limited number of oil and gas coys here (probably 10 in all). This is about the case here. I was opportuned to have an internship and i am currently awaiting interview results for graduate trainee roles. So u stand a chance as well if u excel HARD in your studies.

"i hv a got msc in thermal power and fluid engineering in university of manchester, wot do u think. shld i pursue it"
I am not so good at pointing a career path for individuals.. I believe every person has a dream-job or career-line they intend to follow.. If you believe deep within yourself that thermal power and fluid engineering is the path you want to take, then go for it.. I would recommend you request a career advice path from Okeyz. He is a more informed person u should channel this question to..

I hope i made your day

@ DEV, SORI ABEG NO VEX. IN MY REFERENCE LETTERS IT IS STATED THAT THE MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION IS ENGLISH. DOES THAT SUFFICE OR DO I STILL NEED A SEPARATE LETTER TO STATE THAT?
