Which cource is most demanding in oil rigs industry' petroleum engineering

What degree is best for oil industry?

Key Takeaways. Petroleum engineering is a degree that's highly sought by oil companies, as these grads typically have solid backgrounds in both math and science. The oil industry is also hiring chemical engineers, geologists, and mechanical engineers.

There are too many cources available but we will talk on most demanding..

Many petroleum engineers collaborate with geoscientists and other engineers to make sense of the geologic formations of rock that contain oil and gas. They are experts in designing drilling equipment, drilling methods, operations, and drilling plans.5

Aspiring petroleum engineers should have high proficiency in math, such as algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. The sciences—biology, chemistry, and physics—are equally important.

Petroleum Geology

Petroleum geologists determine where to drill for oil by studying the structure of rocks and minerals located beneath the surface of the Earth.7 This degree gained more demand recently as the growing oil and gas fracking business in the U.S. requires employees with the technical skills to master horizontal drilling and other new methodologies.8 California Institute of Technology, University of Colorado at Boulder, and Columbia University offer top degrees in this field off study.

Chemical Engineering

The oil business is divided into downstream and upstream components. Upstream includes exploration and production, while the downstream needs chemical engineers to analyze chemical processes occurring in the oil refining end of the cycle.

Oil refining is often stigmatized as the dirty pedestrian side of the oil business. However, the salaries for chemical engineers within the industry are relatively competitive with petroleum engineers and geologists.

Mechanical Engineering

The mechanical engineering aspect of the oil and gas business often centers on large project design and implementation. This may include the construction of refineries, pipelines, and offshore oil platforms.

Specific skills required include knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermal technology, 3-D modeling, and complex construction methodologies. The work often occurs in the field in a variety of locales.11

Some universities, such as Purdue University, offer 5 or 6-year programs that award a student a bachelor's and master's degrees..

So now we will understand which cources need always as we say above ...

Now we will talk on some more topic and doubt..

Can you work on an oil rig with no experience? Or as Fresher..

The oil industry offer s a stable, high-growth career path for capable people, even for those with no experience. As an oil worker, you might work on an offshore oil drilling platform, where you receive specialized training in oil rig equipment, worker safety procedures, and environmental management.

A Changing Global Industry

The energy industry is at a crossroads. The sector is changing. Seasoned workers are gearing up to retire, just as exploration projects are becoming more challenging. Working in oil doesn’t mean you have to sleep on offshore rigs. O&G entry-level jobs are varied and can include: delivering machine parts, working on a rig, installing pipelines or running a truck. You could be working in anything from conceptual design to decommissioning.

Work-life balance has been prioritised across the larger companies. The harder the work, the more likely you will be to get long breaks or leave early – two weeks on a rig is usually accompanied by two weeks off! There are also opportunities for global travel – Houston, Perth and Abu Dhabi are E&P hotspots and opportunities are opening up in Mexico, Mozambique, Singapore, Nigeria and Russia. The attractive pay doesn’t hurt either.

Entry Level Roles

Many roles don’t need special education – the skills can be learned on the job. This is especially true for operational roles, where workers start as “green hands” with the aim to work their way up as they learn. It is also worth noting that the O&G industry is a meshwork of hundreds of contractors and sub-contractors, with different types of work split between specialists. Everything from pipe installation to cleaning can be contracted separately – and every area needs entry-level workers who can “start at ground zero” and learn fast.

There are two things to bear in mind. 1) As the jobs don’t require special education, there is rarely a shortage of available labour. This means that companies are less likely to advertise, or only advertise locally. People can walk in off the street and submit a resume. It is also common for new employees to come via recommendations. 2) The roles are usually filled through third-party recruiting firms. This is why you don’t see many entry-level jobs on the BP website. The O&G companies outsource hiring decisions to trusted partners.

Here is our two-step guide for finding entry-level O&G jobs:

1. Decide in which part of the world you want to work. This takes a little research, and some flexibility – entry-level roles may require that you move country. After all, the money won’t come to you (sadly). If you’re based in the US, North Dakota and Texas are the two top destinations. If you’re in Canada, then choose Alberta – where oil sands hold the 2nd largest oil reserves on the planet. In the UK, choose the North Sea. Make a list of all the cities in this country, state or province.

2. Check out classified/jobs websites with geographical listings (e.g. Careercast or Monster.com). Also, check what local media is available. Each city in your list will have local newspapers and radio stations, which can be found on Wikipedia. Their websites are a rich source of local information. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t see a relevant O&G role. Remember that most entry-level roles won’t be posted. Make a list of all related companies which are hiring and get in touch directly with HR (phone or email). The recruiters usually have a good idea what is coming through the jobs pipeline and where you could fit in, especially at the entry-level. They can also point you towards the company’s hiring partners.

Get The Right Certificates

Study courses in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths) can be useful as a recruitment tool, to help you get your foot in the door. Qualifications in mathematics, physics, geology and engineering (chemical, petroleum, mechanical, electrical and environmental) are common in the industry.

However, the quickest way to secure an O&G role is by completing a specific practical certificate, such as an oil rig training program. These are designed to supply HR and recruiters with a supply of certified employees, ready to work in the oil patch. Bear in mind that many of these are expensive and you need to consider the debt trade-off. The courses are generally only worthwhile if recruitment partners are already in place.

Also, don’t forget the minimum requirements. As a rule of thumb, prospective employees require a clean driver’s license. They also need you to pass a drugs test and a physical which, while nowhere near military standards, can still be challenging.

The Prince’s Trust ‘Get Into’ Oil and Gas resources and OPITO, the skills organisation, are useful sources of information on the certifications available.

Go To College Or University

Consider going back to school to get an industry preferred educational qualification.

A start position when you have an industry-relevant educational qualification makes a difference to the level you enter at. Most people who start an entry-level job, with a plan to work their way up the ladder, soon discover that this can be challenging.

We mentioned industry certifications, but have you considered going back into education or formal training? Some courses can be done online, or in conjunction with a job. 

A Little Experience Goes A Long Way

Some experience can also give you a feel for the industry. Most major O&G operators (e.g. Chevron, Shell, Total) run taster schemes to give people a sense of what working in the sector is like.

A month of work experience in the industry or an internship is a great way to build up contacts and relationships. Bear in mind that large companies have constant job openings which need filling, and there is no substitute for proving your worth on the job. Apprenticeships have also become more common.

The Perfect Employee

Typical O&G job adverts usually list a set of desired skills and personality traits, including problem-solving, creativity, analytical skills, organisation, self-motivation and adaptability.

Just remember to sell yourself to the employer – tailor your CV, network at industry events and develop your market knowledge. Your O&G dream job is closer than you think.

Here are your doubt like mobile phone using so we will clear this topic also...

Are we allowed to use our smartphone when working on offshore oil rigs?

Depends on the rig. Usually yes, though you won't get signal unless you're fairly close to shore.

It wasn't that long ago that all phones had to be turned in to the radio operator on the rig or even in the heliport before departure. I haven't seen that for a while though.

Using a smart phone outside accommodation will still get you in trouble (because it's not intrinsically safe) and wandering down stairways while staring at your phone will get you in trouble too, as you could trip and fall.

If you're using it for an alarm of watching short videos (on a VPN) it's usually not a problem these days. Streaming football games or movies will chew up bandwidth and might get access restricted.

FaceTime is usually allowed provided you're not waking up the guy next door. Buying and selling shares is not recommended.

Taking pictures on an offshore oil rig is serious business. For starters, due to the risk of flammable gas coming up the oil well, normal electronics are banned outside the living quarters. Smartphones are strictly forbidden and regular cameras require “hot work permits” be opened prior to use.

Is there gym available...?

If it's an exploration job and a mobile camp, a gym is not likely. As far as the offshore platforms/rigs it largely depends (mostly on the age of the platform/rig). Offshore, yes. ... There are some kick ass gyms on pretty much any rig that's got dynamic position capability.

Is there mobile network or wifi available...?

Mobile Network:

In Indian waters, it depends on how far you are located from land. For instance, from my rig I can see the shore. And the helicopter ride was only 5 minutes. We get mobile signals of around 3-4 bars. But, when you enter into a pressurized cabin, or on the farthest edge of the rig, all the bars disappear.

Internet:

All rig need to be equipped with internet connection as all essential drilling and formation data needs to be sent back to office for decisions. Yes, as Ryan says, the wifi service is given at the discretion of the rig provider. In our case too, only the rig guys use it. It is encrypted and a MAC address white list is there too. For service companies a 'unfiltered' internet is provided over ethernet. Speed varies. With many users, it is even hard to open the Google homepage. But off peak you can video chat too. Internet is avaible through Satellite system.

Satellite Phone:

If the rig is situated very far off from land, you can always avail telephone calls from satellite phones, usually situated in the Radio room.

Intra-rig communication:

There is a sort of EPABX system where you can dial the required number on the given telephone. And along with that you also have the telepaging facility. Also, walkie-talkies are used too.

Here are one more doubt about its worthy to work on oil and rig ?

Is working on an oil rig worth the money?

Working on an oil rig is an absolutely great choice for some people due to it's high pay and general lifestyle. It's not a good job for everyone though, so make sure you think it'd be worth it for you before you get your first job on a rig.

Finally in this article your all doubt will be clear. If you have any more doubt pls comment below we will rply asap..
