You can have my job. 27 days to go of this sh!t show

ok, no problems, message me

I have another question:

Look like that there is shortage of skilled people in the O&G industry at least from what i managed to read online.

And for what I understand the O&G is an industry where companies are willing to train peoples, to their expenses, so why I feel there is fear, for people working in it, to be surrounded from incompetent peoples, that just got the job, because they followed and spent few grand’s on some courses.

The operative word here is "skilled"...the positions you are talking about...ie catering roustie etc are not classed as "skilled". as regards you example about the guy in Dakota...yes sure this happens every day on land land rigs in the US etc, but your circumstances are not the same...you dont live in the US and your not American...so were ya going to go in Europe ?.....North Sea...?....will not get a look in...I promise you....your only possible place of getting a start at the moment is in Italy...if you cant get one there, then highyl unlikely you will get a start anywhere else

Ok thanks a lot, I will start from Italy, and try to get the foot in the door there

Well, at least I will try, I remember I had worked with a guy, that worked in the oil or gas industry, I am looking If I can get in touch with him.

Anyhow, do you think this course is valid? And may help? http://www.mdslimite...bpages/pef.html

How you can stand up in front of a H.R., during the interview?

What I have in mind is not only to send a C.V. but follow up on it, with phone calls and may be even try to go to the company, if I am close enough.

And how much are they trying to steal from you for these courses ?

Stand up in front of HR....??...what are you talking about interview technique ?.....you do know these days most interviews for the international game are not even done face to face its usually over the telephone, so whether you stand or sit is up to you

take it from someone who works in O&G, send a CV by all means, even follow up with a phone call, but do not go knocking on any doors ,if you have already been told they have no positions all you will do is start p*ssing people off..

SoutPeel I didn't see this replay, I meant stand out, what I want to say, stand out respect other people that apply for a position with a CV and then during the interview.

I talked with a guy that started working in North Dakota, and he applied first online, and then moved there, got hired in about 2 months, keeping calling and living CV in other companies.

Got hired as a Floor Hand, but he is from USA, so a different situation altogether, anyhow now he is Driller Assistant, doing training, etc.

So I get locally is the way to go at the beginning, in my case Italy, or may be Europe, and probably onshore.

That means there is a hole somewhere, I mean some people inside the industry don’t go up the ladder, living room for others, or are not willing to give room to new peoples, or just decide to don’t extend their training to be able to go up the ladder? or what?

“I hope you understand, I am realizing that after few years, talking almost only Thai, my English is not of the best.”

I am looking to start to work in this industry, for the money, the free time off and also because look like you can grow, while getting more experience, doing more training and of course depending also from your natural quality.

guys thanks for all the info, I didnt realize, about the lower wages, in the say in the catering industry in the O&G Industry, I think I will ditch that idea, and stay more on related jobs.

About the Italian company, this is the ones that I found untill now, will have a better look today, to find some more:

Halliburton, USA

Hydro Drilling International S.p.A., Italy

Perazzoli Drilling, Italy

Pergemine S.p.A., Italy

Petreven, Italy

DRILLMEC SPA Italy

Geolog S.r.l. Italy

Weatherford, USA

MED OIL GAS Italy

Vega Oil S.p.A. Italy

Saipem S.p.A Italy

Ava S.P.A. Italy

Halliburton and Weatherford have offices in Italy too, i will give a go, and send my CV, and when I go to Italy, call and and try to go to the offices, and see whats come up.

Thanks also for the advices that probabily will be very hard or impossible to get a job with out some people pulling some string.

I dont know If some body will help me, but I am willing to do what is needed.

Well, I understand, and I think you are right. And actually is true in almost of the industry.

In my case, I will do courses, to get an entry job, since may be, having already some tickets, will help me a little, to getting hired, since the company will need to spend, less money on my training.

thanks for the tips, yes Is what I am doing, shortlisting, all the company in my country, cleaning, catering,etc..

I will be in Italy, on January and will start to visit them, and try to get to know some people.

I am not really looking only for offshore, onshore rigs, is fine with me, and how other said here in the thread less tickets are required.

About the NEBOSH, I am checking location and prices, I found some courses in http://www.kbatraining.org.

There is something I have to look for?

Like for the BOSIET, that have to be OPITO approved to be valid at International level?

Well, at least I will try, I remember I had worked with a guy, that worked in the oil or gas industry, I am looking If I can get in touch with him.

How you can stand up in front of a H.R., during the interview?

What I have in mind is not only to send a C.V. but follow up on it, with phone calls and may be even try to go to the company, if I am close enough.

I have shortlisted quite a few company, and I am getting my C.V., written and contacting some friends and family members to see if they know somebody, working in the industry.

What I am not really sure to understand, is the visa working permit, paper works.

Say I got a job from a U.S. company, to work offshore or onshore, don’t really matter, to me, at the moment. “From what I read around, to work onshore, BOIET is not needed”, in a third country, say Nigeria or Lybia, just for example, the company will take care of the visa required, or me?

By the way I am from Italy, although I will try to get in contact also with some Italian company, now, and probably if nothing come out before, In January I will go to Italy, for a month or so, to visit my family, so I will visit also the Italian company that I have managed to find,

I think I have many quality required to be able to work on rigs, or other similar jobs: like be able to do labor intensive work, Shift work, Fifo, etc, only because, at younger age I was working, doing special Lighting Show all over Europe, and basically was more or less on this basis, probably even more labour intensive, at that time you can even work, 2-3 days or more without, stop, and accident did happen quite frequently, but was like that, then I started to travel, and lost connections, and actually the company close doors too.

What I don’t have is experience, but I am confident, that I able to work in arsh environments.

What I would also to ask, if you think this courses, could be of some help, to get some more consideration respect the others that apply for the same position?

1) Senior First Aid Certificate

2) Front End Loader License

3) Working at Heights Cert.

4) Working on confined spaces Cert.

I read on the net that company, give also some Rotary Drilling books to study, I got some title, and I am trying to see, if I am able to order on Amazon. Or find somewhere.

I am looking to any green hand jobs, Roustabouts, painter, store man, should be also some working positions that, I can apply with catering company that work for the Oil and Gas industry.

I am not sure I f I have been very clear, but this is more or less my plan,

Send, CV, start to phone follow ups, and see what I come out with.

A Service hand is a third party contractor who provides a specific service during the construction of an oil well. Eg wireline (perforating, logging), cementing (cementing the casing). mud engineer ( drilling mud specialists)They are an outside company contracted in by the oil company.

Roughneck (floorman), Roustabout, Assistant driller (AD), Driller, Toolpusher are all core crew and work directly for the drilling contractor. They own the drilling platform (modu) mobile offshore drilling unit. They drill the hole.

The oil company like woodside or shell co ordinate all these services together to drill and complete a well.

Oil and gas is a pretty diverse industry. I'm only speaking from the drilling side.

Have a look at the websites for the big third party contractors. Schlumberger, Halliburton, Weatherford, Baker Hughes.

They have good information on there about oil field terminology etc.

If you get a start with any of these companies ( an easier task than getting a job as a roustie). The pay sucks at the start. But they will train you if your willing with all kinds of courses both locally and internationally. Think of it as an apprenticeship sort of.

In my opinion a brilliant start for a 19 yr old if you like technical stuff but still don't mind getting dirty.
