Oil&Gas Career Advice?

[Dis86]

Can count me in with tendering, project management, production system integrity and process.

Really want to get in to drilling or well completion though just can't find a way to make the transition

 

[Helios1234]

Sounds like they're a fun bunch to work with.

Well we could form OcUK E&P. We have structural, well performance, well intervention and fishing and im sure plenty of others who can chip in our new operator venture.

I can process seismic data .

I'm a Reservoir Engineer, so can help out with that side of things (in addition to setting up the tea room!)

 

[panthro]

I'm really good at ordering lunch, if that's an incentive?

 

[alx]

Just take my instruction on where to drill and we'll be away! Unless of course those pesky reservoir engineers tell us pointless things like "it won't flow" or "it won't be economical"...

That is withstanding that the drillers actually drill where they are asked.

Alx, don't become a reservoir engineer, you'll turn into a grumpy old mand and start enjoying crushing people's dreams.

I don't want to become a reservoir engineer, I work with them enough to know that . As a chemical engineer by background, Production Technology/Well Performance is about as far as I'd go down that route - I like operations too much atm.

Sorry! Mixed you up with the other guy...

Their subsurface grad schemes are meant to be very good, and in general they pride themselves on their subsurface teams.

Good luck with it . Maybe I'll see you around sometime . If you got the job when would you start, September?

Thanks. Yeah I think I would start in September 2014 if I do well enough on Tuesday, expecting it to be competitive though.

So, how did it go?

I'm a seismic navigator/hydrographic surveyor so I'll point us in the right direction. Provided it's offshore

 

[alx]

We've got quite the skill set on here

 

[XE11]

EDIT: whoops, got posts mixed up...

 

[Elixir]

So, how did it go?

I think it went fairly well but it's difficult to tell, should hear back over the next couple of days. Being able to build towers out of paper and sellotape has proven to be a crucial skill yet again.

you got sellotape?! you lucky bugger. Let us know how it went as soon as you do though.

 

[EvilDreams]

1) Become a Nigerian
2) Move to Aberdeen

Yeah I know what you mean. Haha sounds fun. Where did you interview, Reading or Aberdeen?

Reading, didn't see a huge amount of the complex, we were confined to one section of one building for the day.

20 years will petrolium be even useful apart from vaseline?

No, I'm hoping the Vaseline market will still be going strong though.
