Oil and Gas Company in Nigeria Requirement

The following are things about employee profile that tend to make some difference:

1. Major Area of Study

Oil Companies tend to pay higher salaries to employees with rare oil-industry-specific skills and training.

Stuff like Petroleum Economics, Petroleum Engineering, and Geosciences are among the hottest Majors.

2. School Attended, Grade Earned, and Certifications Obtained

There are exceptions to this one though depending on your area of focus.

(While some companies may give preference to candidates with foreign M.sc degrees, others like Shell are said to give more credence to high-performance skills than academic credentials when considering let’s say field workers for example.)

3. Relevant Experience

When it comes down to it, nothing would make more difference than the good old experience.

That’s why many Petroleum Industry professionals usually advise newcomers to do all it takes to build up their experience profile yes, even if it means working a while (for little or nothing) with a licensed Oil and Gas sub-contractor.
