I;m sure you had experienced jadi both engineer (field and pipeline engineer) which 1 lg best n mencabar....... field engineer ader gak wat calculation kan sikit2....and your suggestion for the new comers mana lg bagus field or pipeline eng or better rasa kedua2nye?......for me better dpt rasa jadi both filed n pipeline eng

asri bin rafie said...

Hye bro,
which one best?

For me, at the early stage of your carreer better become a field engineer. This is because maybe you're not married and most importantly no issues on family.

Becoming a field engineer give you a chance to manage the project in offshore and you can learn a lot the construction management and etc.

After you get the installation understanding and idea then you can ready to go for next stage which is installation engineering (Pipeline Engineer).

On calculation side, Field engineer actually did rigging/lifting calculation,anchor pattern, padeye calculation and anchor buoy calculation.

Pipeliner2009 said...

Bro,

The Pipeline Engineer that you described is for design consultant or OIC?

I'm confused. Those Pipeline Engineer in OIC who go offshore...are they Pipeline Engineer or Field Engineer?

What about becoming Pipeline Engineer in design consultant first then only join OIC? I thought it's better than becoming F.E -------> P.E

asri bin rafie said...

hi bro,

These actually the scope of work for pipeline engineer in OIC (sorry coz make you confuse). Pipeline engineer is doing the installation engineering analysis as I describe in my post. Going offshore is only as requested by OCS(Offshore Construction Superintendent).

But for field engineer, more than 80% of their scope of work are at offshore.

For your 2nd question, I'm 100% agree about that. But, it's subjective. What I means is to be a good pipeline engineer at least you need be balance between design and installation. This is important when you become a project manager/lead engineer, where all the design that you produce can realize in offshore.

Back to my experience again, when I in consultant before, I thought that what I'm design can be realize at least 80% in offshore. But I'm wrong, because when I'm in OIC, so far I've face some problem to suit between design and installation. To solve it we need to make a lot of modification. These situation are really important if you have a design knowledge because all modification that you made still covers the standards and procedure as stated from clients.

I'm new guy here.thanks for the good effort that you make to give knowledge about oil and gas. which company do you work?

asri bin rafie said...

hye duwe,
Are you fresh grade? if yes, welcome to the new world and also welcome to oil and gas.

I'm actually created this blog to give some latest information in oil and gas and motivate all engineers how to be a best engineer. Other than that, I'm include the knowlegde of pipeline design from Conceptual until Installation. If you have some ideas to improve my blog you're welcome to post a comment.

I'm now working with TL Offshore, which is a subsidiaries company of Sapuracrest Berhad.

asri bin rafie said...

Hye duwe,
Don't worry, you still have a time to find an Oil and Gas company. As usual, 1st year of working after graduate is the rotation time for you to find the best place suitable with you.

Just follow my blog, because soon I'll post all Oil and Gas Company in Malaysia.

Hye Duwe,
Done worry, that's one still in progress. I'll post a lot of oil and gas company soon.

Hye,
I'm not start with TL Offshore after grade. I'm with pipeline consultant before.

Everything about my carreer history you can check out at my first blog post.

Hadi said...

Hello Asri,
I just found your interesting blog and your impressive CV. I have 2 years working experience and only 1 years experience in pipeline. My company was involved in FEED and detailed engineering.
I have a few questions need you to share:
1. ive been involved in designing subsea pipeline and riser. Is that PLEM and stinger are one of the pipeline engineer SOW? What others scope?
2. im also using design software like AGA, AUTOPIPE, MATHCAD, CAESAR and MOSES. Different company using different software. For the next company (if I plan to change work at other company) I should choose the company using same software or not?
3. Basically I only involved in Engineering. My company not involve in installation. is that affect when I apply with other company that involved in installation (EPCC)? Because I really interested in Installation to now what actually happen on site.
4. Usually I familiar with ASME, DNV, API, ASTM and ISO. Refer to your CV, you familiar with PTS. Is that affect my CV if im planning to work with company who work with Petronas?
Another things...maybe you can post what pipeline eng did in Engineering (like a list) like analysis for wall thick.,end expansion, external corrosion, stress analysis etc so people can get overview all also for field engineer. Then elaborate what should include in those analysis (generally).Its good for graduate eng.

thanks a lot.

salam kenal2 ..saya zulhilmi..
saya ade ikut perkembangan bro asri kat http://ogapipeline.blogspot.com.. sy berminat dgn kerjaya sebagai pipeline engineer ..
sy baru je ade pengalaman bekerja setahun dlm steel fabrication ..n skang still baru nak kena2l industry oil n gas.. InsyaAllah ade rezeki sy nak join o&g satu hari nanti..
hope bro asri dapat kongsi pengalaman, ilmu and tunjuk ajar pada sy yg masih baru lg.. kalo bro asri xkisah.. saya pon mencari2 contact kwn2 yg keja dlm bidang o&g..coz org kate kalo nak keta dlm bidang ni kene ade contact ramai..

asri bin rafie said...

Hye HADI,
thanks to view the OGA PIPELINE and hope you'll become a followers.

These are the answer of your question:

No. 1
Actually all that related to pipeline is the pipeline SOW. PLEM, PLET, Riser, Stinger is a part of pipeline SOW. The SOW that I post previously is more on SOW in Contractor. Soon I’ll post the SOW in consultant and pipeline design sequence.

No. 2
Maybe you’re not understand the situation of engineering software in Malaysia or other country. For example, all consultant and contractor will used the same software as what you mention above. But everything it’s depends on client which one software their interested. Soon I’ll also post the softwares related to pipeline as per I used before and currently.

No. 3
Not effect, but it’s good because you’ll know what you’re doing and can realize it. As now on, my advise is please understand the concept of engineering design or engineering installation so that it would be helpful when you involve in construction soon.

No. 4
If you can understand with all the standard that you mention above, it’s already enough for you to familiarize the PTS or other client codes and standards because for example PTS, is respect to ASME/DnV/API/ASTM/ISO and other international standard.

No. 5
I’ve already do that and currently I’m just discussed the pipeline wall thickness and on bottom stability. You can view on my previous post in my Blog. I'll promise will post every info of pipeline design sequence till installation.

Soon OGA PIPELINE open the Jobseekers package so that it will help you to find the suitable oil and gas.

Hi zulhilmi,
Jangan risau, saya boleh bagi tunjuk ajar dan akan share pengalaman saya.
Disebabkan inilah saya create blog ni. Pasal kalau boleh saya nak meramaikan lagi orang malaysia dalam Oil and Gas tidak kira di bekerja di dalam atau luar negara.

Minggu hadapan saya akan post a Job seekers package dan zulhilmi boleh mencari peluang kerja di situ

terima kasih kerana menjadi followers OGA PIPELINE
