Question to all OFW Tsikoteers especially to those working in the oilfield

[yebo]

bored? sa oilfield? malabo!

lika dito tulungan mo ko magpalit ng crankshaft ng mud pump. durog connecting rod bearing ng fb1600 namin kanina, kung ano pa yung maganda ang bearing clearance e yun pa nasira. for sure sa dami ng tulo ng pawis na guguhit sa mata mo hindi mo maiisip ma-bored ehehehehe!

minamalas ako ngayon mga tsong. 2 days ago port crane. ngayon naman mud pump. sabi ko sa kanila nagpunta ako dito para mag-surf lang sa internet e ayaw maniwala ehehehehe!

ano po ba ang duties normally ng mga naka post nyo na job ?
1) tool pusher - ano ang tinutulak dito?
2)Driller?- drill nito ang lupa gaya sa Armageddon ba ?
3) Rig Mechanic?- ano normally mga trabaho or ni rerepair sa mga machine pang drill or iyon gaya sa mga diesel engine na papasukan ng pinsan ni Yebo
(earlier post)

rig mechanic? your job description is maintenance, repair and installation of the following equipments:

- big diesel generators - caterpillar, emd, volvo, wartzilla, etc. from 500kw to 5000 kw, depende sa laki ng rig. you will have anywhere between 3 - 8 of these engines plus one or two emergency generators. meron din 2 camp generators pag land rig. (note: on production platforms the main electric generating plants will be gas turbines. ask mo sila ilan kw rating nun, but from what i know it's big enough to power a small city)
- small diesel engines - caterpillar, gm/detroit diesel, daimler benz, volvo, mitsubishi, toyota, etc. mostly on cranes, payloaders, forklifts.
- mud pumps - continental emsco, national, etc. these are big 3 cylinder reciprocating pumps with anywhere between 900 hp to 4000 hp pumping drilling mud at up to 10,000 psi. minimum of 2, some rigs have as many as 4.
- drawworks - think of it as a winch. a BIG winch. from 350 tons to 650 tons. some offshore rigs have 1000 tons (new deepwater double activity semis that can drill up to 35,000 ft depth at 7000 ft of water). land rigs will have 1000 hp, some offshore will have 4x1000 hp motors powering this.
- travelling block and crown block - think of it as 2 big pulleys, it is what carries all the weight of the drill pipes in the well. drawworks, crown block and travelling block will be like your small winch, block and tackle.
- top drive system - most modern rigs have this. it's like 1 big electric drill, between 1000hp to 3000 hp.
- rotary table - the dinosaur of the oil rig, it used to be the one that rotates the pipe but it has been replaced by the top drive. it is mostly used in land rigs. on offshore operations it is still used but only for making up the bha (bottom hole assembly, which includes the bit).
- hydraulic equipment - hydraulic power units, raise back systems, pipe racking systems, pipe handler (connected to the top drive used for making up and breaking out drill pipe), iron roughnecks (these are robots that automatically make up or break out pipe), cranes and other heavy equipment hydraulics, hydraulic elevators, etc. on BIG offshore rigs they have hydraulic engineers that take care of these.
- power tongs and pipe spinners, used for turning and tightening pipes and casings. spinners are either air or hydraulic powered, power tongs are hydraulic powered.
- pumps, lots and lots of pumps. centrifugal pumps, gear pumps, submersible pumps, vacuum pumps, air operated pumps, tripplex pumps, etc. these pumps move potable water, drill water, sea water for cooling, sea water for ballast, drilling mud, base oil (for making oil base mud), diesel fuel, helicopter fuel, lube oil, waste oil, bilge, etc.
- air compressors. most rigs have 3 or more compressors that have capacities of 350 cfm to 600 cfm. most will be powered by electric motors with 1 unit powered by a diesel engine either small or big. pag small then it is only an emergency compressor for starting the engines during a dead ship (or what is called a brown out in the philippines!) if it is big then it is both an emergency and main compressor.
- tuggers/winches - these are either pneumatic or hydraulic powered utility winches of capacities from 500 kilos to 10 tons. used for lifting or pulling loads in work areas.
- koomey unit - this is a hydraulic pump (air and electric pumps), hydraulic accumulators and reservoir used to provide hydraulic pressure to the blow out preventer (that big set of valves that prevent the well from exploding and killing you all). on land rigs and jack-up rigs (offshore rigs with legs that go all the way down to the sea floor, as oppose to rigs that float like drillships and semis) you are in-charge of this equipment.
- on semis and drill ships, high pressure air compressors (2500-3000 psi) for powering the compensator system. most rigs have 2.
- watermakers/desalination plants on offshore installations. these have capacities of 25 to 100 tons/day. most rigs have 2 of these.
- thruster systems - on self propelled and dynamically positioned offshore rigs. from 1000hp to 5000 hp. think of it as a ship propeller that is driven by big dc electric motors. most dp rigs will have between 6 to 8 of these. some have as many as 6 motors driving them. you are in charge of these, plus the gear box that go with it.
- anchor windlasses/winches - if it floats, it needs anchors. our rig has 8 of these. wire diameter is 2-7/8 inch x 6000 feet long. other rigs use chains. super ingay ang chain anchor lines, yanig naman betlog mo pag umaandar yung anchor winch!
- air dryers - you compress air, you need to remove the condensed water coz if you don't then all your air powered equipment will sudenly all decide not to work at the same time. also, air is used to move barite (dry clay in drilling linggo, used for making drilling mud) and cement (for cementing the casing in the well). if the air is wet then the mud engineer or the cementing engineer will be cursing you to death! the electrician will also be looking at you with a mean eye because you put wet air inside his panels (electric panels on the rig floor have positive pressure inside) and all that while you are trying to repair all those air powered equipment under your department!
- oil separators - you do not pump bilge to the sea, you need to separate the oil then pump out the oil-free water to the sea. then you put the waste oil in drums for processing/recycling.
- sewage treatment plant - the sh!t machine! yup, it's your job! this is something you do not want to break down, ever! it treats raw sewage, makes it environmentally friendly (read, all bacteria and virus must die!)

- and last but not the least, all the paper work that come with it. that means planning, recording, budgetting, etc etc etc!


did i scare you? naaaah! it's all bolts and nuts! nothing a BIG hammer can't fix ehehehehehe!

thanks qman

[tebs]

panu naman magkaka-experience kung hindi bibigyan ng chance mga baguhan?

anong mga previous experience ang hanap nila?

mukhang masaya maligo ng langis e. may mga opening ba para sa mga ece na walang experience? hehehe

[BoEinG_747]

mga tsongs, pag HUET sa subic na lang kayo mag-training. sa IDESS, norwegian company operation at sbma. dali lang huet training dun. bakasyon ka pa sa subic ng libre! .

mejo may kamahalan ang training sa IDESS.pero ano ba suggest ninyo na mga courses doon para maging gate pass man lang (if ever) para lang maka penetrate sa Petroleum industry..

panu naman magkaka-experience kung hindi bibigyan ng chance mga baguhan?

oo nga naman ,pano mag kaka experience kung wala mag bibigay ng chance or baka depende lang sa company na nag bibigay ng pag kakataon sa mga baguhan sa oil field.kasi iyon kasama ko sa work ngayon may pinsan sia isang ECE and EE graduate nakapunta ng Qatar ngayon ..takot na takot nga kasi sumasakay pa daw sila ng helicopter pag pasok

nag-hiring sclumberger wireline last january, yung pinsan ko kakaalis lang nung march 15. m.e., e.e. saka e.c.e. mga ni-hire nila. puro fresh hire yun walang experience sa oilfield.

google seach mo rigzone andun mga job openings sa oilfield. andun na din mga links sa mga companies.

[Jiggs]

pasali din po...sa Oil & Gas din ako..both Offshore and Onshore sa mga personnel na gusto mapasok tong industry nato..tyaga and diskarte lang...BDWAY sa Production dept po ako. Marami na din naman Noypi sa Production dept. pero compare sa Maintenance..malaki tlaga gap. I started in a very small chemical company here sa Pinas nung newly graduate ako..tapos ayun nilakasan ko na loob ko to apply abroad sa Saudi ko nagsimula...tapos dun na ko nag JOB hopping..Currently locally employed

TIPS: SPEX BV currently hiring 3 -4 experienced personnel in any discipline i.e electrical, mechanical,instrumentation, chemical ; with some knowledge of production operation. Local rates nga lang...not necessary sa offshore ung experience kahit sa petrochemical or chemical consider na rin.
