Advice

(OP)
Hey gang,
I'm a Civil Engineer - PE, worked 5 years in Land Development and now making a career move into an upstream oil and gas engineering company. Pretty cool huh. I will be doing pipe support design and foundation design along with project management.
Anybody out there have any advice for a guy making the transfer into upstream oil and gas?

Thanks in advance.  

RE: Advice

My advice is to learn to follow instructions.  When you were creating your post, there was a pretty clear admonintion to use a meaningful titile and that "HELP!!!" is not meaninful.  "Advice" is a small step away from "HELP" and there are a lot of people on eng-tips.com that will not open a thread with this stupid title.

You might want to try again, and this question would be more appropriate in one of the soft forums like "How to Improve Myself and get ahead in My Work".

Ya.  
Always look down.  
Watch out for snakes.  
Every lease gate has 2.  
Rattlers, that is.
Don't look into anything.  
Don't turn over anything.
Don't sit on anything.
Don't trust anyone else to bring the drinking water.
Don't open any valve not connected to something.
Bring along toilet paper.
And keep your hands off the pipe.

RE: Advice

don't try to do a miltary press on an 80 bag of clay/mud with someone standing and watching with his hand on his 4 in knife in its side holster.

There is no such thing as a pipe strecher, measure twice, cut once.

shit flows downhill. And you can take that in anyway you want.

Listen to your elders, sure you know more than them, but they are alive for some strange reason.
