Hello all,

Please I need your help on the best career decision to make. I am torn between studying gas,refining and petrochemicals AND petroleum geosciences as my. Msc degree.
Help me make decisions based on relevance of each course in the Nigeria. oil and gas industry TODAY(following the recent trend of fall in crude oil price and non-functional refineries in Nigeria)

ThankS

. Sorry if i may ask what did you study in your Bachelor's Degree? I think you should go for Gas,R&PC cos thats where jobs will be a bit easier (down stream) than the other. With the on going TAM on Nigeria's 4 Refineries, Dangote Refinery & proposed Refinery by Federal govt. other private ones, i think there will be job opening for you upon graduation if there's seriousness on the part of Govt. You can as well work with any NNPC Depot. Allied Chemicals,Lubricants & Engine oil outlet. As for the area of Gas, Nigeria is sitting on estimated 180TCF of Gas, 2nd highest on African continent and is yet to fully utilize it abundant Gas potential, although there are efforts in the right direction, bright future becons, Investment in NLNG, Gas-to-power, Gas-to- Liquid GTL and other Gas related Projects might just be where you can function most especially if you acquire up-to-date short professional certifications like instrumentation&control, Process Safety Management System, PDMS, Piping etc. you can always fix yourself a job within this versatile downstream sector of the Oil&Gas Industry.
As for GeoSciences it obvious you will be working with other professionals too e.g Reservoir&Drilling Engineers, you may be assigned to carry out a particular task like LWD,MWD etc, you can as well learn how to use latest GeoScience software in both producing & servicing coys. From the current fall in Global oil price both producing & services seems to retrench some workers and most producing companies he.g Shell, have already investing in a more deeper and remote offshore oil exploration that requires different technologies (SUBSEA ENGINEERING) to Exploit the Oil&Gas. The most important thing is to secure a well paid job upon graduation. From the highlight above So therefore in my own opinion i prefer Msc in Gas,Refining and Petrochemicals because of its versatility.

I'm blessed this morning by your write-up *hugs*. Thanks a million and yes,my first degree is industrial chemistry. Just that I was scared on no much refineries in Nigeria and the fact that geoscientists are taking up all the oil and gas money like the engineers. Greedy me,yes I know!

. Greed? Who no like better thing?? Lol ..Ok nice course this is another versatile course, sorry which school did u finish from and class of degree? cos i doubt if u will be admitted into the centre of Gas, Refining & PetroChemical @IPS since you are coming in from Faculty of Sciences except if things have changed now, saying from another of my friend's experience who had a good Bsc 2.2 in Biochemistry and wanted to study Msc Safety&Occupational Health @IPS since the two course are healthwise&medically related, he even showed them his HSE Certs Level 1&2 from NISP but was turned down due to 'Sciences Background' issues so he opted for their PGD Program which he completed late last year with distinctiom i have another friend with good B.Tech in Industrial chem/Petrochem in ISLT, Uniport who also pass thru'd IPS PGD Program, and many others from Engineering background. To me i will advise u pick up IPS PGD if u from Rivers state Or any other University PGD in Petroleum Engineering as to remedy the rift cos ur Bsc relates more with Gas,R&PC than GeoScience and PGD in petroleum will also give u a wide range of options. May be if u were from Dept of Geology or Geophysics with strong 2.1 IPS would have considered you into their centre for GeoSciences. University of Aberdeen,UK offers the course as 'Integrated Petroleum GeoScience' which covers so many areas in petroleum. Employment of Geoscientist is fierce out there cos u will be meeting with some baddest guys in the field except u are highly connected both Human and divine but i ain't tryna discourge you. You deserve the best!

You're simply amazing.tx 4 your time! Well,ive met with the centre of gas,R and P and ofcourse i'm good to go coz of my high CGPA and first degree, reason I'm looking out for their past questions for their entrance exams. Well, I'm no longer going for geosciences for some reasons and please give me more information on this my new course, i'm enjoying your replies.

. Info on the course based on? Be specific, As for the past entrance questions papers, i wish i'm around, currently outta Town

Please can you send it via email?
Not ips past questions but gas,R and PC.thanks
