Good day house,
I'm a Petroleum Engineer ,I have an Msc also in Petroleum Engineering from Heriot Watt University with a 3.6/4.0 GPA.The irony about this is that I have been trying to get a job for Years now,but to no avail,so I'm learning to sew..... Maybe my hand work would produce something tangible.

Eventhough i studied mech. Engr in UNN, and still searchin for engrg related job bt dis case is worse dan mine by far.
Pls can i use dis opportunity to solicit 4 help on her b4 frm gr8 minds/ oil dons in d house dat can help in any way?
Baby, sent ur applicatn to indigineous oil firms n apply 4 intern/ volunteer work in big oil servicing firm. Google d firms. Learn a skill dat has practical relevance to oil n gas.
Dnt forget to b spiritually strong always.
Gudluck.

The reality is that the industry is laying off with the fall in oil prices

Not quite. Production quota are still being maintained.

Hi All,

Good work by Dr Ferlie, Shinatu et al

I bring in subsea engr, project mgt and most recently drilling engr expericience to the forum

I can particularly assist with information for petroleum engineering education opportunities in US, Canada, UK, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Saudi etc, ofcourse it all depends on your current level of experience and educational background will determine which route i suggest to you

For professionals, any of you worked in south america or asia and want to share your experience?

I know little about getting jobs in nigeria, so may not be able to help much in that regards

Keep on drilling

Good day ALL,

I was about creating a Petroleum Engineers Forum under the career section before I found this using the [b]search [/b]button. This is a wonderful thread and I say thanks to the creator and all those who have contributed positively to the thread.

I am a petroleum engineering graduate from ATBU Bauchi. I am presently an NYSC corps member in Delta. My first rig experience was 2009 when I was on IT with POOC. I was on KCA Deutag rig T76 @ Erimwindu drilling for oil for months. I was on the rig for about a month - witnessed drilling of the last hole section, Open Hole Logging, casing tally & inspection and cementing. It was a wonderful experience.

Nice thread.

GboyegaD:


Do you have an idea under what state Erimwindu is recorded for Fiscal Revenue?

DrFerlie:
I have decided to create a thread for drilling engineers and drilling supervisors ( company man ), so that we can share experience and best practices.

I am currently working on a BOD for a deepwater field development - drilling and completion.


Guys, come in and let's discuss.

hey guys
came across the thread and i thought i should share my challenge with the guru/experienced dudes in the house.
i have got an interview with a big oil and gas company, just found out that part of questions would also come from one's background however i have never practiced as a mechanical engineer ever since i graduated many years ago, have been on the sales and marketing lane.
i really don't know how deep the questions could be? whether it would be a core engineering questions? dont know where to start from?
should i dust my old long-abandoned text books even though some of us crammed just to pass our exams
please guys i need your candid advice or suggestions please
its a graduate trainee position...wish to change my career path
experienced dudes, please what kind of mechanical engineering questions should i expect? really don't know where to start preparing besides...
will highly appreciate suggestions, recommendations etc
Thanks

GboyegaD:


Thanks a lot. Please, do you have an idea where I can get the states that gets the revenue on different OPL & OML?

Dr Ferli

I am a graduate of Chemistry and I want to pursue a career in the upstream oil and gas industry though I work in a different field now..I recently came across a training school here in Lagos that is offering courses.I have interest in enrolling for the the Assistant driller course...my questions are

1.the duration for the training is 10 days (classroom training and practical rig experience) Will this be ample time to get all the required knowledge one needs?
2.should I go ahead and apply for PGD program in petroleum engineering and later on go on to MSc in a university

3.How well recognized is the Institute of petroleum and drilling engineering IDPE in the the oil sector in Nigeria it seems new.

the certificates that will be offered after the training are 1. IADC, Assistant Driller Certificate under IADC Drilling Industry Training Certificate (DIT)
2. IADC HSE Rigpass Certificate
3. IADC Well Control Certificate, Mandatory for every drilling personnel coming on board a rig.
4. Man- management and Rig management certificate.
5. Rig inspection Certificate.
6. Practical Rig exposure Certificate

your advice is needed.
