Moving to Canada in a couple of months and planning on getting an entry-level job in the oil industry. Do you guys review resumes here or something like this? I put together a draft and can't say how good or bad it is.

I have a limited experience in the gas field back in Ukraine. I didn't do much there, was working on the gas transportation and it was easy - taking the readings, making sure nothing is leaking/going to explode, doing basic maintenance and repairs, cleaning, and filling out the reports. Not sure how relevant is the experience. Also, was working warehouse and construction jobs for a little while. The last 5 years was doing IT support back in Ukraine but I don't have a degree and it'd be difficult to find a similar job in Canada, so decided to go with oil. Got my driver's license. Also, I'm physically fit - hit the gym regularly, and don't drink or smoke. It might be worth adding that I'm 36 years old guy that is trying to reboot his life.

Don't have any safety tickets yet since I'm not in Canada. And put my local(Danish) phone number and address on the resume.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey everyone! Interesting news coming out of the Middle East Petroleum and Gas Conference by S&P Global Commodity Insights. According to speakers at the conference, UAE oil exports to Europe are expected to surge in the coming months, potentially displacing Russian flows that have decreased since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Thomas Waymel, the President of Trading & Shipping at TotalEnergies, revealed that shipments from Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) to Europe could triple to over 300,000 b/d (barrels per day) in July. This significant increase is compared to an average of approximately 100,000 b/d in the first quarter of this year.

One of the factors driving this shift is Abu Dhabi's decision to launch the Murban futures contract in 2021. This move has created arbitrage opportunities for flows into Europe, leading to increased demand for ADNOC's flagship light-sour crude grade.

It will be fascinating to see how these developments unfold in the coming months. Keep an eye out for potential impacts on oil markets and geopolitical dynamics in Europe and Russia.

Looking to buy some land near Houston , specifically Manvel area, the land will will be for sale without mineral rights.

What are the odds an oil and gas company will come screw me if I buy this 4 acre plot. It’s near growing developing areas and schools so not sure if the odds are high of a company drilling .

Anyone have heard of this experience or of others? Not sure if it’s a deal breaker. As long as the company can compensate for any future damage or modifications to the subsurface then I’m ok with that risk??

Ironically I work for a major oil and gas company lol

I’m currently torn because I have a great job as an I&E at a well established refinery. I currently live in an area which I consider HCOL. I would be struggling if I didn’t work any overtime to be honest. I don’t have a lot of expenses besides a mortgage and a family car. Anyways, my goal is to live somewhere cheap with some land and that’s why I’m looking into a chance of pace and try something new. How hard is it to get a job at either North-slope or Offshore? I have about 8 years between trade school and field experience.

Could you please direct me to any of such reading material or if you have it from some commodity knowledge services? Thank you!

Shell posts $9.6 billion profit even as energy prices slide

Global energy giant Shell said Thursday that it earned nearly $10 billion in the first quarter, becoming the latest fossil fuel company to post strong financial results despite sliding oil and natural gas prices.

London-based Shell Plc reported adjusted earnings of $9.6 billion in the first three months of 2023, up 5.7% from a year ago.

The company said it faced headwinds from higher taxes and lower prices for selling oil and natural gas, as energy prices have eased after spiking following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year. Shell said those factors were offset by cutting operating expenses and better trading results.

What happened to AAPGs annual salary survey? Looking to get back into oil and gas but don’t know the current salary ranges anymore.

Hey roughnecks, wondering if you have any thoughts on this… I’m looking at picking up 14 acres outside of Beaumont, but the mineral rights are not included.

I understand that mineral rights are dominant, so hypothetically an oil company could come in and do whatever they want with my land.

Should I be worried about this? What is the likelihood of an oil company coming in and fucking my shit up?

I checked the well map and there are a couple of permitted wells in the general area, nothing super close to my land.

I read in news that there are methods where carbon dioxide are pumped into the depleted oil Wells and stored for good. By right, gas form is hard to contain. And the well isn't really leak proof. Unless the pressure of the ocean makes it stay underneath?
