Benny25:
my heart skipped when i read the headlines, i was so mad that the first thought that came to my mind was to [b]deal with any aboki i see on my street but to my greatest surprise they had all gone to only God knows where, they had these all planned [/b]

i notice same thing in my area in LAG, there are mostly okada riders and they have all vanished into thing air,anyway we know their enclaves at idi araba and mile 12,it will serve as a nice shooting range,

My blood ran cold when i read about their bestiality, this thing has got to stop,the southerners have to send a clear signal, that no region has full monopoly on violence, Nigeria is far behind other countries that are less endowed than us because of these northern fools, always dragging the nation backwards with their not-so-smart way of life .

Are they trying to tell us that they cannot stand a southerner as president? is jega not from the north?, well if they dont like it then lets divide the country into north and south , if we cannot live in peace then lets live in pieces if that will bring peace,

I really cannot understand this northern punks, at times i feel their cattle are even more sensible than them.

Haba, enough is enough,

I have an interview via skype with the HOD of Reservoir Engineering Department of the Institute of Petroleum Engineering, TU Clausthal on monday. I would like anyone who has had such type of interview to please tell me what to expect. Thanks in anticipation of your ingenious response.

its just general interview about your career goals,why u want to study petroleum reservoir engineering at masters level and why chose clausthal,your work experience if related to reservoir engineering and what not. there is nothing much , they just want to know if you are really keen in doing the course or u just want to use it as a means of immigrating to germany, it,s just like writing a statement of purpose but this time its more interactive.
the slots are becoming more competitive these days so there have to give admission to those who they feel are really keen in doing the course.

Just be your self ,do more research on the course you want to do and if possible your thesis if you have already gotten one

all the best

@ effizi
when did you do your mud engineering training?, from my past experience with job searching, i hardly see any openings for mud engineering, what usually comes out is drilling,well engineering and completions and even HSE and logistics in drilling.
I sympathize with you, it s very frustrating spending that amount of dough and still remain jobless in your field,you should not give up hope ,no knowledge is a waste.

However, that been said, i know of some guys who did well engineering training in the same IPS PH, and is gainfully employed in one of the oil servicing company,as an entry level completions man. although its a certification course,valid for 2 yrs.

@earthrealm
Am really learning here.thank you for your straight to the point explanation.what is your opinion in the WELL ENGINEERING short course in IPS uniport?sometimes I ve doubts that the course would not make me an entry level DE due to the fact that the DE has many areas and seem so broad,I dont know.what do you think?

why should u have doubts?, see , even if you go to robert gordon for your training you are not guaranteed an automatic job offer, you just have to take you chances like any body else ,besides you dont get this kind of training any where in Nigeria unless you travel out,

It will help you if you take a trip to IPS and have a word with the programme administrator that will clear all your doubts, besides this is a TRAINING and not a presentation , the amount of time it will take for you to be trained to get to know the nitty gritty of the course is the same any where in the world, you become more experienced and adept as you practise on the job and meet challenges.

As for your job quest , you do your part and let time and chance do the rest,if some body comes to this forum and advertises that he needs someone with well control training and a valid IWCF cert, irrespective of experience, u could be sure that at your present status now u r not qualified!!!.

paying 450k for a course requires guts!! and the belief that u are acquiring specialized knowlegde that is not easy to come by,,IPS do their recruitment for totalelf so u go figure,

u can do your masters if u will.its still ok,but if time is not on your side these short courses are still good and will fetch a job in the oil and gas even if it means starting at the lowest cadre, with a degree in you can rise as quickly as possible.

the aim of setting this small courses is that it is cheaper to train staff here than to fly dem abroad for training.

i feel you should go to IPS and see for ursef the calibre of trainees that come there for their training, professionals from different oil and gas companies, even some with experience.

to clear all doubts from your mind just take a trip to IPS, write down all your questions and inquire from them , ask any student that u meet there and get their views from them, i know the task might be daunting but you will decide for your self there and then wat u want to do.

@Okeys
Hm mm may be am about to sound dumb but I would like to know the difference between WELL ENGINEERING and WELL CONTROL.when I checked on line, I notice Well Engineering usually goes with drilling like "Drilling and Well
Engineering" and some Well Engineering courses, contents contains Well Control,it baffles me.I think Well Control is some where inside Well Engineering(am not sure) and Well Engineering Graduates are usually refer to as Drilling Engineers while Well Control Graduates

More so, IPS Uniport has Well Engineering and Well Control programs,I understand that the Well Control Program seem to be their IWCF Certification because its 1 week while the Well Engineering is for 4 weeks.
Like I said, maybe am sounding Dumb but please once again I need you to throw more light on this,

i am just seeing this now,
I will try and explain as simple as possible,
Well engineering encompasses well control, which to say well control is just a module in well engineering, well control has recently evolved as a subject on its own due to very delicate and risky nature of drilling oil wells which recently requires multimillion dollar equipments,
well control as the name implies deals with total control of the well by tweaking certain parameters from the drilling console to balance the well pressure, which also includes adding drilling fluids to balance the well pressure , clean up the well during drilling, lubricate the well bore as well as the drill strings and lifting out cuttings from the well which is sent to the lab to be analysed by drilling fluids engineer on the rig floor.

well control has to do with PRESSURE CONTROL!!, making sure the pressure is balanced, if the pressure from the well bore is heavier than the fluids going in, it could be catastrophic!!, as was the case of the macando oil well(US), so u need BOP's to take care of that,

WELL ENGINEERING deals with the planning and design of the well bore, from well spuding to total depth reached,its a project on its own which involve some calculations like wieght of drill string , dog leg and azimuthal calculations if there is going to be any deviations. they can still function as well controllers too,

Drilling engineers duties includes both well engineering , well control and also knowledge of the drilling equipment used on the rigs as well as their maintenance,although there are also rig mechanics who take care of all the moving equipments,

It depends on what is your role on the rig floor, its the job of the drilling suprintendent to coordinate the various function with the team and see that all goes well with emphasis on safety

but its advisable that all personnel on the rig floor should have well control experience .

You can still do some research on the net you will get more useful info.

I hope this helps,

@Okayz.
I really appreciate your advice thanks bro! but I didnt get a line clear "give it a try and wats more u will still get the IWCF cert!!" do u mean their certification come with the IWCF cert? i dont understand please explain.

yeah , they have well control course and it carries the IWCF certificate which is administered by IFP france, the drilling programs too has IADC endorsement so its a valid certificate thats why it cost that much.

Also i think they do recruit for some drilling service companies and also some companies do send the employees to their school for training.

I have been to their drilling and well control lab, very well equipped by total , you can apply for the training , if you consider travelling abroad for such training it will cost more and whats more some of the facilitators are from IFP france , even the dean of IFP france is one of the facilitators !!, you can go thru their website www.ipftraining.com for more info, course fee and duration.

Maybe unless you want to do their masters program which is equally good, i was told the fee is around 2million naira, that is as far back as 2004,by then this training thing was not in place, if not that is wat i would have done. well dont know wat the fee is now. back then it used to be highly competitive and entry requirement is 1st class and 2:1, dont know if they have lowered the bar.

It will be a good start for you , reason been dat some these oil and gas servicing companies go their and pick their personnel, you hardly see any oil and gas companies in NIgeria advertising for drilling jobs in the Dailies, becos they know Nigerian graduates hardly have such experience, so they prefer to go to these training school and get their personnel and they dont have to start sending you for training, a cost cutting initiative , if you ask me

So you see, there are lots benefits if you invest in this training which is really hands on, years back you dont get this kind of training here in Nigeria unless you are employed in an oil company , they then send you abroad for such training, but now you have the opportunity to invest in your self here in Nigeria at a very cheap rate besides any recruiter that sees you already have such training in your cv will know you already have idea of wat u are applying for instead of starting from the scratch.

I hope i am not rambling!!!, let me pause for a breath

@Okeyz
Thank u for your 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?

Go head , the drilling is the same quality as the same you will get any where in the world, some of their trainers are seasoned professionals who are now consultants.

The name is Institute of Petroleum studies, port harcourt , they also run a 2 yrs masters program that is affiliated to IFP france, I think this is a new development because they only offer only masters programme which is sponsored by ELF petroluem now TOTAL,
give it a try and wats more u will still get the IWCF cert!! so it makes a lot of sense, from my last interactuion with one of the graduands years back , i was told that IPS does all recruiting pertaining to field engineers for TOTAL i.e all graduands from the IPS are absorbed by TOTAL and sent to TOTAL's various rigs world wide, the quality of teaching is the same wwith IFP france.

If you have done any PTDF application for scholarship, you will notice that IFP france is one of the choiced schools for the PTDF program, its a good development, give it a shot.

of course its possible to pass it doing self study, what i mean is that for us that did exam we felt that doing paper/pencil based test will be beneficial to us ala the jamb scenerio, its possible for you to erase any answer you feel its wrong and put the write one ,if there is enough time for preparation i think the CBT is the best.

yes !

I did the paper and pencil based exam and thats what every body did in nIgeria

fear no let anybody do CBT o, That thing is a time bomb , you cant go back if u click a wrong answer and besides its already timed so if u are not fast enough the thing can log one out when your time is up! and that could be catastrophic!! shocked

Paper and pencil na your normal jamb scenerio but the bad thing is that the questions papers are different, my number 1 can be your number 50, in all the questions are 175 in number and you need to get 135 correct to pass!! shocked

@ 1007
wat u have is more than enuff, wat u really lack now is visibility, meaning that u have not really spread ur tentacles interms of job search and narrow down ur options.
safety is a very lucrative and viable career.

Your going to do MSC at sheffield is not a bad idea ,it might even take u step into the oil and gas offshore industry, u can give it a try ,loss prevention,mitigation and control is a very important part of safety and it will get you into the main stream of safety and been an IRCA certified auditor is a very good certificate to have at hand.

that said, wat i will advice or wat i will do if i was in ur boots, is spread ur resume to recruiting agencies both online and offline i will give u some few u shud try,u can be doing ur masters while u r doing the job search, from my experience most employers hardly employ safety personnel with matsers degree in safety, but i am not ruling dat out, a masters in safety will get u a job in world renowned oil and gas coys like saudi aramco, brunei energy.

Rigzone is a good place to register and send ur cv, ur can subscribe for job alerts and u get lots of jobs for oil and gas vacancy in the whole world including Nigeria.u can also subscribe to upstream online, since u are in europe u can subscribe for the daily newspaper, i tell u , u will get lots of oil and gas job vacancy for NIgeria!!!! dat r not even published in our daily newspapers.

worldwideworker is another hot and authentic job agency for oil and gas jobs around the world.

HAYS.COM is another authentic recruiting agency , they r based in the uk

oilcareers.com is another authentic agency and very current but you have to pay a premium for cv to be in the top pile.

when u are applying for this jobs make sure u indicate that u will like to work in Nigeria by virture of ur being a citizen cos most of these advertised jobs are hardly taken by europeans and americans except asians ( mostly garlic reeking indians ) , so ur being a citizen and willing to relocate will give u an edge and besides u will be recruited as an expatriate.

well i hope this helps ,just give it a shot and see how it goes.dont 4get to upload all your certificates, u have to be convincing.

take care

@ 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.

sorry i just saw this question now, well my reason for saying that is that logistics takes a bulk of capital expenditure in any oil and gas business whether upstream or down stream, ok lets take upstream for example, a single screw can stop a drilling process which casn lead to down time, so its up to the drilling suprintendent to liase with the logistic officer to make sure all materials and personnel are on site at the rite time and also the logistics officer has to be apprised of the rite specification of each material to supply and shud be on hand in case there is MRO (maintain,repair and Operate) items to be replaced .
Infact the underlying success of any offshore operation is hinged on fast and efficient delivery of materials and personnel at cost effective process and all these are handled by the logistic personnel, infact a logistic personnel might make up to 10 trips! in a single day via chopper to get materials in and out of the rig floor,

Effecient Logistic is so crucial to any project success tha big service coys like schlumberger has a seperate logistics company to handle all their logistic needs not to talk of telecom companies, so Natgas u are in hot zone, just shine ur eyes and u will see what i am talking about, i too i am in logistic company and the demands made by these oil and gas coys is highly pressurize!!

obietrix:
hello Guys, I am new on here.I have few questions has regards research interest for master studies.I had my first degree education in civil engineering with a 3.2 from Nigeria in 2005.Having had much experiences in the construction, i want undertake M.eng oil and gas engineering in US.wat aspect of oil and gas do i fit in ? i am think pipline .also how do i relate civil engineering to oil and gas when i get to the embassy.plss i need your replies.thanks all

well u should have done ur home work guy!!, u can not remove construction from the oil business, why ?, u might ask, to start with the structures ,office, equipment are all structures, the drilling rig for one is structure that has to be continually be inspected every month to check for corrosion and the peeps resonsible for that are structural/corrossion engineers, pipelines too are handled by this peeps, ur umbilicals and risers are handled by pipeline engineers, the vessels, VLCC - very Large crude carriers are handled by SE's also the lifting equipments, very crucial !! like cranes derricks are handled by structural engineers, the FPSO's - floating,production and storage offloading vessels that carries crude are also monitored by civil engineers, ballast controllers in this vessels are all civi engineers - remember ur bouyancy theory?
thia where they come into play, so u are on the rite track, if u want to make the most of ue study just go for OFFSHORE engineering and see ur career fly, ahhh, i don tire to type,
