Please fellow pals, i need to decide on which course to select from these list all from the university of Aberdeen. Your prompt response to this will be highly appreciated.
Energy futures (Oil and Gas)
Safety and Risk Management engineering
Subsea Engineering
Oil and Gas enterprise management(OGEM)
I read electrical Engineering, but willing to move into the Oil and Gas sector.
Thanks
in my opinion and if u are bent on being in the oil industry, subsea is ur best bet
WHATS SUBSEA ALL ABOUT?
I agree with leshon, Subsea Engineering is your surest bet into the Oil & Gas Industry cos expertise is still relatively scarce and in high demand here.
Subsea engineering focuses on the deepwater issues of oil and gas exploitation. Operations have moved from relatively shallow water to depths that now demand totally different engineering solutions. The Subsea Engineering course addresses both the hardware that is used subsea, such as wellheads and separators, as well as important issues such as field layout, flow assurance and installation/maintenance.
See details of Subsea Engineering job descriptions below depending on the area you want to specialize in:-
