Ok that's fine, but Xfire who happened to be among the trainees in the last recruitment listed Physics and Chemistry, may be this year you may want to suggest to them courses to choose from...

This sarcasm is totally off point as I wasn't taking a dig at chemistry or physics.

Your beef with my comments is just like a nurse picking an offense at a Doctor who said he was trained to do all what the nurse is doing plus more. It may sound like pride but it is the truth. So don't take it personal as it just an objective statement of fact from an unbiased 'non-doctor'

Jarus:


Arguable. Industrial chemistry is technical to refinery (midstream), for example, non-technical to downstream and semi-technical to exploration and production (upstream).

All engineering courses and fields like geology, geophysics are undisputably technical to oil and gas industry.

Courses like Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry are also technical, but less so. I will say they are in-between.

Economics, Accounting, IT (except may be Computer Engineering), environmental courses, Law are all support functions. But interestingly, a typical upstream or downstream oil company may need more accountants than chemists. Finance department is usually one of the biggest non-technical departments. A 100-staff company may have up to 15 accountants.

Strictly my view based on experience and observations, not a textbook classification.

Oga Jarus , why am I always smiling each time I read your post and see Geology

Thanks for your inputs on this thread & that of many others especially the executives of AOLMAW.

May our expectations never be cut off.

xfire:


Lol.. Geoscientists were part of the training oo.

Maybe I need to clarify a bit more:

ONLY graduates of engineering, physical sciences (e.g. maths, physics, chemistry, etc) and geology underwent the training.

Graduates of biological sciences and non-science related courses were not part of the training.

I think we can defer to this xfire's comment to use on classification of technical vs non-technical wrt NNPC.

No rely on my comments o. No be me dey share APL nah.

I know Boss but since Happiness is free, make I just happy with the other Technical Crew before more Sources come thru.

APL go definitely cut across every discipline for the interview stage.

As for sweet My APL Only God fit approve am...Only him I Trust.

Goodluck to us all.

Noted, Keyword is wrt NNPC, that settles the case, because the word 'Technical' in some definitions covers courses beyond STEM, as long as it involves developing some specialised skill e.g. Accounting, baking etc.

Urbanist2050:
A non alertees' name was checked and not found on the list of successful candidates. One example is not enough to establish relationship between APL and TF but I feel a sense of obligation to share this information here no matter how it may be interpreted.

Goodluck to us all.

Was your name on the list? Are you an alertee? I wantu check something. (@Gbriel, no vex I just couldn't wait for you to wake up to help us check the something as usual)

No doubt about that.

Accounting is the technical field for an accounting firm, for example. Law and accounting are the technical fields for an FIRS (tax authority) while a mechanical engineer will be the support (eg as Head of Maintenance Division) in such organization. Economics will be technical field in an economic or policy research company, while the IT guy will be the support. IT will be the technical field in an Accenture, while the accountant or lawyer is a support. Law is the technical field in a law firm.

That said, in general usage, technical field in most cases refers to STEM - or technology related.

Urbanist2050:
Only 3 people in Niger State made the cut off. The rest of the slots are there vacant. FCC will have to force NNPC to lower the bar and recruit others.

Where are the Niger people? Don't say you haven't heard anything about your status.

APL will start dropping from 5th August to 9th August.

You can celebrate your Sallah happy or sober.

Believe this or not. The choice is yours.

lol. Make we stop our dialogue then.

I sleep very late, especially when in Lagos. Returned from football field at almost 10pm! On work days, leave office 10pm, 11pm many days.

I'm most active at night.

In NNPC technical covers majorly Asset Management and technical services ,these divisions are in most of the Subsidiaries . Operations(Plant Operators, permit me to use this term) and maintenance staff. Don't be confused about this, HSE department is also under these categories.

The guy is from the future, but alas, the present is different from what he knows as "past" which makes the future, (his own present) unstable. Hehehehehe

Hmmm....

Someone predicted after the girl mentioned more technical courses would be hired that you guys will spend the next 5pages arguing about which courses were regarded as technical.

Here we are, he was right.

You are right... but HSE is under the category of non technical

Dbowline:



That's why we have other sections, like even comedy or Romance or sex sections. You can have fun, cool off or even dance to the song from Naira Marley. But in here, Stay on course. Making unnecessary jokes over a recruitment some people come here to get information is not what I would term common sense. Even common sense is maturity.

Nobody is trying to be perfect, just learn.

Oga take chill pill ni when l read d post I noticed it was a joke n didn't make a big deal about it. Calm down

chidiebereuzoma:

What about ICT?
Please I'm only asking a genuine question.

ICT is more under Communications ,some may say technical some may not agree to that .But Engineering everybody agreed to be Technical .

The way some people push narratives here as if NNPC would come to this thread to pick ideas on how to go about the recruitment..
Funny is how some of you 'fight' each other as if NNPC won't accept your narrative if you lose an argument with a fellow nairalander..
We should all just pray for favor instead of trying to derive satisfaction from putting others down with theories and narratives.
And Ye all with inferiority complex + y'all thinking that your assumptions about the recruitment make no sense, Abeg, nothing really makes sense on this thread. Just do your thing and don't let anyone drive you into depression..
Good morning this morning..
Have a Terrific Tuesday ahead..
Once in a while comment from another local man..

Sleep is overrated, we grind all night.

Morning guys.
Is it true that the GMD is out of the country?.
Intelligent response from reliable source is needed confirm if thats the reason for the delay.
Thanks.

Under NNPC they operates with the Operations and maintenance crew ,they also run trainings with them. HSE officers goes to site with these set of persons during field work, even during Preventive maintenance (PM) ,they design permit to work system and they follow it up , although the new practice is that no one should be in custodian of PTW at site
