15 years ago puro trainees ang hire ng company namin sa pinas, sama ako dun 27 yrs old ako nun. so kahit na sa airconditioning ang experience ko e nakuha ako na trainee chief mechanic sa oil rig. yun lang nga first day ko pinagapang ako sa langis at grasa ehehehehe! enjoy naman kahit mahirap ang training. ngayon sa company namin meron ako 2 trainee sa department ko. puro bata pa. yung pinsan ko 34 na sya pero dami nya experience sa diesel engines, makina ng barko ginagawa nila sa wartsila. nag-work din siya nuon sa napocor. afaik wala age limit basta papasa ka sa medical. lalo na kung meron ka experience sa related fields.
for mechanical department - diesel power, turbines, pumps, cranes and lifting equipment, compressors, etc. sa electrical/electronics dept - electronics measurements and calibration, electrical switchgear and DC motors controls, SCR systems, synchronous ac motors controls, plc programming and automation, etc, etc. sa mga malalaking oil rigs meron pang hydraulics engineers saka electronics technicians, dami na kasing equipment dun. meron din subsea department (blow out preventer valves, etc) saka barge dept (marine engineering grads and able seaman) pag sa drilling department naman usually petroleum o kaya mining engineers dun. pero mga old timers na drillers karamihan high school graduate lang (na may utak). experience after all is worth more than education lalo na mostly hands-on ang petroleum drilling industry.
dagdag ko sa sinabi ni nightrock na trabaho ng wireline operator: logging-while-drilling, well logging, well perforation (using explosive charges), well testing and flaring.
