4yrs ago is nt much of a long time.
Engineering is nt something that zaps easily from ones memory.
U should still have some of ur key text books and notes.
Dnt jst read any topic. Find out What aspect of services the company renders ot what aspects of oil and gas business d company is into dat would guide ur choice of topics u read.

For eg, if a Geology graduate is preparing for an Oil and Gas test and is expecting geology questions. I would advice the person to Study areas like: Petroleum Geology, Stratigraphy, Petrophysics & Sedimentary Geology of Nigeria. So u should know d aspects of Petroleum Engineering that suits that focuses on what line of biz d company is into.

you have a point. it's not that i've forgotten a lot. but engineering also requires you keep updating yourself. i've not been doing that a lot because my job takes a lot of my time.. so where i will struggle now will be in remembering formulars especially in reservoir engineering. theory no be problem because i read well in school so a lot of things still dey my head.

it's an exploration company.

it's basic test sha, so i'll just hope they keep the questions simple and basic. thanks

mr xfire thanks 4 creating this wonderful thread.....my question is that,how important is welding skills in the oil and gas industry....and will having a certification in welding increase my possibility of getting into oil and gas industry as a mechanical engineering student..thanks.

X-fire we are still waiting for the second part of your lecture. Please post asap.
Thank you

welding is a very important skill in the industry, especially in the oil services industry.
A certification in welding is good and it may give you a slight edge in the labour market, especially if you are seeking middle-level technical roles (e.g. mechanical technician). But need I say that welding is mostly important for companies that provides technical services to oil producing companies that require hotwork or fabrication.
What level are you, and have you done your internship?

Thank you

I will post the concluding part which will focus mainly on contract employment and internship. I have been somewhat engaged. I had to go offshore on a non-routine work schedule

Bros, carry your "good result" and teach maths at chibok and leave the oil money for us..

Impressive @planning your future. You should keep this up, you are already on the right path. All you need do is to finish with your 2.1 or "good result(first class)" like our mathematician. Your experience, plus the internship you would do would place you waaay ahead of your peers. Also plan for your internship and get it done in a company in your area of expertise (Mechanical Engineering). All the very best!!

4 Major Things To Do Before Applying for
Ph.D/Doctorate Programs

http://www.ngschoolz.com/4-major-things-to-do-before-applying-for-ph-ddoctorate-programs/

There is a thread like this yet I didn't know about
issoraite I dey follow

silently following

Why do they recruit contract staffs?

Oil firms used to recruit contract staffs to provide middle to high level manpower for specific assignments within a defined timeframe. Contract staffs were meant provide specific technical and administrative services to engage in short-term activities or tasks that are not mainstream company business. However, it must be admitted that purpose of contract employment has broadened over the years.
Other considerations that now go into recruiting contract staffs are cost optimization, business need, availability, personal influence and demand for certain skills. Depending on the terms of agreement, contract employment is usually not an ideal way of engagement as contract may be terminated at any point. Usually, once the contract term expires and there is no new proposal for extension, the employee is disengaged and paid off. In some cases, contract staffs get converted to permanent staffs.

How much do contract staffs earn?

Contract staffs in the industry generally earn very competitive salaries compared to contract staffs in other industries, most notably banking. Some even earn more than permanent staffs depending on the age, experience, risk involved in job scope, skill level and contract agreement. Generally, contracted expatriates earn much higher than their Nigerian counterparts for obvious reasons. It's funny but some expatriates prefer to remain contract staffs as they sometimes earn much higher than full time expatriates.

Job security for contract employees?

Like I said, the constant worry is that contract can be terminated at the end of the contract. However, there are several instances in which contract staffs remain on the job for extended periods of time with salary enhancement, even though they may never hold management position. (I won't say more than that).

How are contract staffs recruited?

Contract staffs are recruited in various ways. Rarely will there be an open advert for contract staffs. Getting a contract job in oil companies require some level of networking, knowledge of the business and insider information. Below are the channels through which one can get a contract job:

1. Retention of corps members (pre-2013, that is, before the new NYSC policy on posting of corps members became operational)
2. Outsourcing (use of third party recruiting firms) - there are several of such firms in Nigeria
3. Unpublicized adverts
4. Retired staffs absolved back into the organization as contract staffs
5. Linkedin
6. Poaching
7. Pull from company's CV database or CV bank
8. Solicitation from recognized professional bodies

Cheers...
