I play in about 5 pitches on that axis.

On a related note, NNPC has one of the best teams in oil and gas industry games. Probably because they have the most staff in oil industry.

I represented my then company in table tennis in oil and gas industry games in 2012. I was beaten black and blue by a guy from Addax.

NNPC usually win in football and table tennis. They have very good football and table tennis players. They used to have one left-handed Hausa man that used to win Gold medal in table tennis - very good. Their football team walloped my former company 7-0 or something like that in football few years ago.

My present company doesn't participate in oil & gas industry games. If I join NNPC, I will join their football team, but I know I wont make their 3rd 11 sef. They have very good football players.

The more new theories are postulated, the more arguments will flow..NB nobody here has an idea what the GHR divisions' criteria is for the final selection, hence the need to avoid blind confrontations...Islamic studies will be employed, CRS education will be employed,Engineers will be employed,geologists will be employed E.C.T. whether you argue or make a case if your course of study is technical or non-technical won't make any difference...its the final list that matters..keep being hopeful that's all.....BTW first time poster here,but have monitored this thread from page 1..nice day all God bless.....

BenFlash:
Chemical Engineers borrowed core chemistry courses from your department innit? Let's drop the matter abeg, it is derailing the thread

BenFlash:
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'

Sempumping:
In NNPC

BenFlash:
Lol, local man cannot can anymore. Chemistry is chemistry. Over n out!

BenFlash:
Its like you have not been reading my comments. This is your ego speaking. There is a reason why it is called engineering, you may design the process but the engineer converts the design to an actual plant with complete automation where necessary.

BenFlash:
It is termed technical quite alright but at the same time, technical has 'levels' based on whether the course curriculum involves some vocational trainings. The test tubes or distillation columns etc. being utilised by a chemist to work must first be designed and constructed by a chemical engineer

Clintsoch:
Who's thinking if Industrial Chemistry and Industrial Physics falls into technical... Go and check the courses under STEM graduates, there's nothing like semi-technical, you're either technical or support... Please Industrial Chemist @Enrypech be confident in yourself don't let someone's guess throw you off balance...
A chemical engineer will not occupy the lab@BenFlash... It's a large company/corporation and specialization is the order here, not a jack of all trade firm, roles are well defined.

Sempumping:
Support (non technical).


Btw, it is not an assumption

Industrial chemistry falls under errrmmm texhnical but not technical........don't quote me, am just trying to help!

Jarus:
Arguable. Industrial chemistry is technical to refinery (midstream), for example, non-technical to downstream and semi-technical 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.

mathology5431:
Should I tell him the truth?

BenFlash:
Lol, see interrogation oo. Sorry, I tried to help. Lemme keep my mouth shut.

You do not set the rules of engagement on this thread.

This place is not NNPC official handle or website. Everything being shared here is third party information which is open to a lot of distortion.

Lastly, common sense should tell you this is not your church WhatsApp group or your work place WhatsApp group where everyone fake “maturity”. Silence doesn’t equate maturity neither do cracking jokes makes you less matured.

If you don’t like what a Nairalander post, the best thing to do is ignore n move on.That’s what matured people do, they don’t start whining like a lady on her period.

BenFlash:
Chemical Engineering is technical but chemistry is not. It is more or less strictly analytical (for lack of a more holistic term)

mathology5431:
lol
Am looking for that scapegoat that will ask "where does quantity and surveyor falls, technical too?

Jarus:
Your friend's response aligns with what we have always told people here but some choose to believe some theories.

By the way, technical roles are engineering, Geology and related fields.

Those of us non-technical are the support functions (Finance, HR, IT etc). Nothing new actually, oil industry is a technical industry (not a service industry like banks), they will always need more technical guys.

Which means that its likely that there is already a grouping among applicants and this is to say those that collected compensation are one category and the other group without compensation are second category. If they start sharing APL, I'm sure one group has the APL,Moreover the APL sharing is taking place in another recruitment stage and can't be combined with compensation activities which is part of the interview stage. I'm afraid those without compensation has the APLs to themselves

I posted this earlier. I had to edit because I realised I wasn't fully anon on my profile and I'm trying to protect my privacy. I hope my profile photo has deleted o. LMAO.

Here's what I wrote earlier.

"Alright. Lemme talk my own.

Nothing significant that has not been heard already.

I spoke to someone (one of my rich toasters huhu) who USED TO work with NNPC he rose through the ranks before leaving for a private oil company.

Same information. He said he spoke to someone who WORKS IN THE GMDs office (high up) about me (I went for the interview) the guy said its ABOVE HIM. I only called him to confirm if my name was on the list but he said he can't see anything it's very confidential. He said I should pray because my state is competitive. Imagine someone working in the GMDs office saying its above him.

Other things he said:
- It's apparently 80% merit 20% politics.
- He spoke to the guy after the Salah break and he told him to expect the letter end of this month.
- They're taking people more from "technical" roles. I'm not sure what that really means. I studied Social Science so I'm not among.
- I didn't ask about TF and APL because he won't know and I'll just look stupid asking about una nairaland theories.

It's nothing I haven't heard here a thousand times. Please don't ask for my state o. Ya girl is trying to stay anon.

Not a bad wish.

You can start from short distance boat cruises in Dubai Creeks.

With as low as N150k, you can ride in a yacht in Dubai. You don't need to work in NNPC to achieve that sef.
