Icon4s:Good afternoon, any advice for a fresh graduate with a B.Tech in marine science and technology (Marine Geoscience) on where to start building my career from? I'm about going to NYSC |
Re: Geoscientists Working In The Oil Industry: How Did You Get In? Share Your Story. by Icon4s(m): 12:40pm On Mar 01, 2020 |
OHIsIManuEL: Just go for your NYSC and be on the lookout for any Oil and Gas opening |

Can't believe I just stumbled on this thread. Amazing and enlightening read. Thank you OP for creating this awakening thread. It's highly value laden. Just like any other story on this thread, I am here now. I have never been the guy who came to geology for the oil. Yes, it fascinates me. Yes I have combed through the history of oil and how oil has significantly transformed the world, it didn't bulge me an inch. My sights have always been on GIS/earth science. But then, I have not been privileged to go full blown into it. I have had some basic trainings in GiS but I still want a niche specific one about Geology. Now, I don't want to do my masters in Nigeria. I'd rather not do masters at all. I want to know, if this path is good. I want to add a robust knowledge of data science and coding to this my flair. I finished with something above a 4 pointer. How can I forge on from this? Can I get funding in US schools for this kind of programme or other programs? I How lucrative and employment worthy is GIS? Note: for now, I am a freelancer. Working at my own liberty and learning to code... @niyigeol @icon4s @GeoOla24 1 Like 1 Share |

Peterjosh:Happy you found this insightful. At this stage, information is what you really need to get started and give yourself that desired life or career path. At the moment, I wouldn't advice anyone to go into geoscience with the sole aim of working in the oil and gas industry given the volatility and limited opportunities in that field. Again, GIS seem a bit narrow, and less of Geology as many other science and social science graduates can learn the skills needed to get a job or career in it. On learning programming and coding, I must commend your vision to this. Coding and programming are great skills you have chosen to learn as many geoscience related industries are now looking at integrating machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analytics to their operations. As for graduate studies overseas, it is achievable as long as you put your mind to it. This particular one is expensive but with adequate information and sacrifice, you can get fully funded scholarship from Nigeria or even abroad. For USA, make plans for GRE and TOEFL. With this, I am confident you will get full funding based on your stated GPA. Environmental Science or Geology and even Engineering Geology is not a bad one you can delve into. But I will encourage you don't do a narrow aspect like Petroleum Geoscience that is mainly tailored towards the Oil and Gas Industry. Geophysics is also not a bad one. I hope you find this useful. Cheers. |

In my final year in school, I had two year 1 geology students as roommate. I myself a geology student told them to change career path as early as possible. I'm planning on doing another bsc in computer science or engineering outside the country |

Onlinebar:Is this an enquiry or an observation? Computer science or engineering is not a bad one. Just make sure you put in your best and gain the requisite skills that will prepare you for the dynamic world we live. Cheers. |

niyogeol:It's what I'll advice anyone considering the course. You know you are in the wrong place when out of 78 students graduating, only 1 or 2 will get into the industry because the jobs are not there |

Please, I am an undergraduate student in a federal university studying physics. Which lucrative postgraduate course can I opt for after my first degree? Thanks. |

Good day Geologist in the house! It your boy again o. Currently in my 300level now and need an Internship Placement ( which I must start at least two months after the lock down). please, if you have a slot or are in a position to get one for me, I would really appreciate! cc: niyogeol icon4s ojap |

Good day guys, I have been posted to serve in Ogun State. People that I know that are working in oil companies informed me that they've stopped accepting corpers to serve there. If there is anyone that knows a good PPA in Ogun State relating to Geology with or without pay should please contact me. Thank you. |

omobamatrix: Internship Placement or you meant Industrial Training. Well, truth is that in my company, for now IT placement submission is not being considered at all due to the pandemic. The ITs here have even been sent home since March. |

eusuph99: Let me just chip in something here from my years of experience. It is no do or die for you to have your PPA in an Oil company. Teaching in a secondary school is one of the best ways of preparing you for the competition in the job market. How? When you teach, you read a lot and keep your brain very busy. I taught Geography and Mathematics during my NYSC. It was quite refreshing. There is always usually mathematics in most aptitude test questions. Teaching keeps your brain active. If you have an Opportunity in an Oil company fine, but if you don't, just go and teach. You will also gain from it. 1 Like |

Please, has anyone tried out or know about DaVinci petroleum institute. I saw their advert on Instagram . I'm planning on doing one or two courses there after this lockdown. I would like to know if anybody has tried them out and full details about them. Thanks. |
