9ijaMan: My brother sorry o! Commercially Viable oil reserve was discovered in OML-130 (Akpo field) in the year 2000. In the 90s I was still studying at Ife, left school jsut b4 we entered the 2000s. I did have a few stints in the field though while working with a multinational service provider in the early 2000s, drilling the delineation wells. Besides neither Baltic nor Adriatic 1 (AD-1) could have ever been on Akpo field as both rigs are jack-ups and have a rated water depths less than 400 ft. Akpo field has water depth in excess of 3,000 ft. I was once on rig AD-1 in the Exon field off the coast of Calabar.

Subsea engineers are currently in high demand as there are relatively very few subsea experts in the world today. Their pay is also quite juicy. Drilling Egineering is however more versatile and is not necessarily as restricted to deepwater alone as Subsea engineering is. If you are a young beginner, I'll go the Subsea Engineering route. If you are an experienced hand, drilling Engineering is a safer bet.

If you chose the drilling option (not drilling engineering), most degree holders back then (don't know what is obtainable currently o!) are often employed to start as assistant drillers and you'll work yo

I hope I have managed to answer your question.

These days, only a few degree holders get the op

spyder880: I have to continue making blocks here, better to start now to make blocks for even the upper floor. The boy's scouts motto? BE PREPARED!

These blocks are neat, are they from outer space?

Mr Calculus: need answers plz o

A minute please, I will get back to you

9ijaMan: Are both schools taking you on a pre-degree basis...? If the answer is Yes, I'd go to UniBen. If UniBen is offering you to start at 100 level, again UniBen is the way to go. Chemical Engineering may have a wider scope, it's not a guaranty that you'll get a job faster. In your case the name of the school matters. My limited knowledge of both schools is assuming that UniBen is rated higher. It's also likely ther are more Uniben grads working in the O&G industry in Nigeria when compared to UniZik. Having someone who graduated from from your former school on the inetrview panel will certainly boost your chances. Particularly when the choice remains between you and someone else from UniZik.

I no be UniBen grad o! In case some of you start making some wrong assumptions. Greatest Ife is my alma mater.

9jaman, I understand your point based on the panel/interview aspect.
However, in terms of rating, it might interest you to know that Uniben is not business as usual, as at the last time I checked (3 semester ago), the faculty of engineering in uniben lost its accreditation on 5 departments out of 7! Imagine faculty of tech in ife losing such!!!
On the other side all engineering department in unizik are fully accredited and the school is not under almighty ASUU, that means no strike!
So you rep white house ehn?! Prof titi kuku from white house was our penultimate dean.
Great Ife, you have a pm sir

kenneyyice: Tankz alot 4 dis tread i am in serious confusion right nw cos i got admitted in2 UNIBEN 2 study PETROLEUM ENGINEERING and would also b admitted in2 UNIZIK to study CHEMICAL ENGINEERING tru pre science. Pls which one should is reject and accept nw.. Jugdeing frm job opportunites and other aspects.....

My brother, please please do not make the greatest mistake, pre science is not university admission! Please please, I am begging you.
Go on with the uniben petroleum engineering, after your first year you should buy change of course form from the school and switch to chemical engineering, so you can join the chemical guys from 200 level or you can apply to oau chemical engineering department with your 100 level transcript, never compare pre science to actual admission. Please don't loose your uniben admission. You can always ask me questions about chemical engineering, I will be obliged to assist.
Thanks
