To work on an Oil and Gas Rig, you need to pick a career path. The H.S.E path you have chosen is good as you did not study a course related to rig operations,except in the refineries where your knowledge is important. Doing a course in Analytical chemistry unfortunately as no link with Rig Operations.
Alfcom Energy has some courses on Drilling Operations and Equipemnts which are discounted for a period. You might want to benefit from this.

We also have H.S.E courses which will come up in some months time.You can please do us an email on info@alfcomenergy.com for us to contact you for further details

Patuwa: Good day sir!

I want to know if I have a place to work or a prospect in an oil rig due to my course of study.

I read Chemistry and Education, I am undertaken some HSE courses levels 1 and 2. From this, can I be employed to work in an oil rig?

Also, which of your programmes in Alfcom energy do u think I can add or do together with my propose masters in Analytical Chemistry, next year in order to boost my opportunity to work in an oil and gas rig?

Thank sir

d7thcaller: You can actualy get this information through google. However find the answers below;

Geology: The study of the earth interior, its structure and the materials that makes it up.

Geophysics: Study of the earth interior using geophysical methods- electrical, gravity, magnetic, seismic

Physics: Scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other.



Geologist, Geophysicist and Physicist can all work in the oil and gas coy.

Geologist / Geophysicist can work in the civil construction coy as a geotechnical professional, can work in drilling coy (both water and oil/gas), mineral exploration coy, Research Institute, etc

Wise+Judge:
@Alfcom energy, thanks for this illuminating and insightful write up. I am a Geologist and I am interested in working offshore. I have had trainings in HSE(Health Safety and Environmental Management) and HUET(Helicopter Underwater Escape Training). Please all I am asking for is just to have my CV sent through you to any offshore company that you know about. My e-mail address is macbendaniels@yahoo.com. PLEASE.................................Expecting your positive reply.

As a geologist, would you like to work in what discipline or speciality? that will drive your career efforts. Willing to help as much as possible

Alfcom_Energy: Thousands of graduates apply for few jobs available in the Oil & Gas industry. Most companies request for experience. Only a few are lucky to be employed without experience. Most are either due to degree types or referrals.

Another way graduates can grow in their career in investing in professional trainings. This is good for those intending to work for some companies and those interested in becoming consultants. There are few professional trainings around by professionals in the industry willing to give back.

Another means to network and expand career opportunities is to attend professional Oil & Gas conferences. It may be a little expensive but pays of on the long run. When you meet professionals, HR managers, CEOs in such gatherings. You should be prepared to discuss professionally about all that has been going on in the industry. Find a way to impress them and they see you to be a very useful tool for their goals. Thereby they would not mind to train you as long as it will benefit them.Thus you have a job!

Your future in is your hands! Act now!!!

Careers in the Oil Industry - Offshore

Well where to begin! This is just a small note to give those who are interested an insight into life living and working offshore from someone (me) who has just started doing just that!

I suppose a good place to start is the training you receive, currently I am a mudlogger (or logging specialist/geologist if you want the flashy title) working in the North Sea. The first portion of training you receive is in how to do the job, its like sedimentary rock identification 101 although its amazing how much you can forget, providing you knew it in the first place which may be where I went wrong.... Anyway the specific task related training obviously alters dependant on what your role offshore will be so I won’t go into specifics about it. One portion of training which everyone has to do regardless of what they’re future job will be is the offshore survival training. This is a three day course which takes you through everything from first aid to escaping the rig via the age old method of jumping off! Some of the things you are taught can be quite daunting, well if not the actual technique the prospect of using them in reality! However all in all the training is not that bad. One much fabled piece of the training which I feel obliged to go into is the helicopter escape portion. During this you are trained to do exactly that escape an either submerging or submerged helicopter via the windows. The first thing I have to say is that its not that bad in our group we had non=swimmers who, although admittedly frightened coped just fine, this is more of a mental exercise than anything else just getting your head around that you’ll only be underwater for between seven and twelve seconds can be quite difficult.

Moving on to actual life offshore! Traveling offshore can take anything from half an hour to over two hours depending on distance and winds but most just catch up on some reading or sleep on the helicopter. Once you get offshore you are given an introduction to the facility, which includes if necessary a guided tour and instruction on any of the safety systems onboard. Then generally you go to bed as, with my job at any rate, you start on nightshift. As anyone who has ever done a series of nightshifts in the past will know the first night is the toughest but once its over with you quickly get into a rhythm which even though your never quite sure which day it is you get by just fine. You finally get back onto dayshift when your relief goes back onshore and as such the individual replacing them goes onto nights in your place. The actual work of a mudlogger is not incredibly difficult. You collect as many samples as are dictated by the well site geologist and identify them as you go, adding these newly identified rocks onto a seemingly never ending log which gets checked daily by the geologist. When drilling ceases onboard a rig the life of a mudlogger generally gets very easy as with no samples coming up there is literally nothing to do but sit back and amuse yourself. Boredom can feature quite heavily but by bringing books etc for the times when you have nothing to do can generally fight this off! Other than this it is the mudloggers responsibility to make up the end of well report. This is a basically a geological report of all rock types which are drilled through on the course of the well and usually you fill this in as you go so it’s never to large a task.

Life offshore is generally quite a comfortable one. Its not home by any stretch but all your meals are cooked for you, your washing is done for you and your bed is even made for you. Most rigs have adequate recreational facilities in the way television, the internet etc. Some are better equipped than others, with pool tables, snooker tables, darts and so on but this varies from rig to rig. There is also always a gym onboard for those who feel the need to get some exercise as life offshore can be quite a lazy one if you want! Working offshore occurs in 12-hour shifts either 0600-1800 or 0700-1900 or the reverse if you’re on night shift, although this seems like a long time you find it can pass quite quickly when you’re working so it’s really not that bad. In your twelve hours off you find time to eat, sleep and make use of the recreational facilities I mentioned earlier! It’s not a lot of down time granted but it works well since before you know it your time offshore has passed and its time for some well earned rest onshore!

Well I hope this has served as a small overview of how working and living offshore can be. As a final note I’d just like to add that although working offshore may not be for everyone it is definitely something to bear in mind when thinking about what you want to do with your degree!
