@Okeyz
Thank u for ur reply.Yes I have the means for MSc but its here in Nigeria.I thought these companies prefer these certifications to our masters here and what about the Well Control Course in Uniport?People in the industry rate the Uniport Drilling School "High" maybe because it has some international affiliations,most notably with a drilling School in France in conjunction with Elf.What do u think?

I Greet the House!
I have a few question running through ma head that I earnestly seek answers.Am planning for a Career switch to Drilling, so am making plans for some drilling courses in Well Control.

1.IWCF and IADC which is better?
2.Am thinking of getting IWCF Certification in Supervisory Level,is it possible for a non experience candidate?
3.Will IWCF,BOSIET and MEDICAL CERTIFICATION give me an edge into the Offshore industry?
4.There is a Well Control Certification Course in Uniport Drilling School.it runs for 4 weeks for #450K what do u guys think about it?
5.Which is more recognize in the industry MSc in Petroleum related courses or these mentioned above Certifications?
6.How much does IWCF and BOSIET cost?and which Exam/Training Center would you recommend?

All answers and advise are welcome.
Thank u.

@ Okeyz!
The coy I work for is an EPC company and not really a drilling company per se.
I have passion for the oil and gas sector most preferably the Upstream Sector,
hence the switch.What makes u feel Logistics is going to get hotter come 2011?
please fill me in.thanks.

@Firearm.I have a similar experience too but not with a drilling coy.too many work to complete.I work 6am to 9pm every day (public holidays inclusive)the Job is really demanding but what I like most about ma work environment is the sea breeze so soothing-Nothing come close.When the day is over,I just relax and feel the free gift of nature i like it.

Guys in Da house-I greet u!
This forum hasn't be quite active for some time now.I wonder why.
Anyway lets not wait till some has a question(s) to ask before we contribute to this forum.I will suggest the experience guys in the house should share their[b] Day to Day[/b] experience here, as it is in WELCOME TO MY OFFICE (a popular forum here in NL )that way the forum will stay alive.
I would have love to start with ma today experience at work but unfortunately I work as a logistic officer for now.though am planning for a switch soon.
So guys who takes the lead?

@ Fireman.
Thanks for the Explicit Organogram but I can seem to find where a Mud Engineer on the chart or could it be the Mudman?thank u.

Hey Guys,
could the experience guys in the house please explain the difference between A Driller and a Supervisor on a rig?which one is higher in the organogram?and what is the scope of there duties.and if possible outline the different job personnel on a rig platform as it applies to drilling.like the driller,supervisor,derrickman toolpucher blabla,

Am going for the Mud training course at the in Institute of petroleum Studies Uniport.Though the 350k is huge but i believe to land a job with it.but i would need some bit of help from the house,
has any one attended this training course at same place?(cos I understand from the site the Charles Pepple is among the trainers) and what is it like? Moreso, please drillers and Mud engineers in the house please can u guys list the mud engineering servicing companies in Nigeria?so that when am out i can start throwing ma applications.
many thanks,

What are u guys talking about?no body is giving attention to agriculture too bad.am not criticizing any of these wonderful business ideas but the opportunities in agriculture are 50times more than all the other ideas mention here.Massive agriculture development can take care of this country unemployment issue-people fail to recognize this.
it is high time we brace the opportunities in agriculture.

thatz thatz for agriculture.

Natural Gas alone account for over 600,000 jobs in Canada in 2009.Nigeria is the 7th largest Natural gas reserve in the world-and all the Natural gas reserve in Nigeria was discovered as a result of oil exploration if Natural gas is explored for-then Nigeria has the potentials of being among the first three.This sector alone can tripple the money oil has pump into the country in the next decades.

There are lot more places to look at.we all could keep going on and on but the problem with this country is not ideas but bad implementation.Nigeria is only Good on paper.

Future president,i know alot has to be put in place to put these sectors to maximum function but its possible!!!

For me its definitely "Nagging".cant stand a nagging woman.no way.

Trust me, he will do the right thing someday.I have seen this happen alot of times with families and friends.the last was a colleague of mine.he's first daughter is already 23 studing Medcine before zhe did the right thing.he has 8 children all together so, its just a matter of time,as long as e treats u like a wife just be patient like ur mother inlaw has advice.
All the Best,

am not really interested in in pet names but ma gal was pushing for one.so i coined one for her from no where -i call her Chums and she's loving it every day,

Bank work is a total cooperate slavery.the money being paid as salaries are spent on wares,perfume, and transportation.i have a friend who works for union bank in ABUJA is a contract staff since 2006 till date is salary is 75k!
Just imagine!what can 75 do in the FCT and the most annoying part of the whole thing is that no job security.they keep threaten the contract staff with the word "DOWNSIZING"

Insua of Liverpool should be included in that list,
