Sorry hijacking the thread, anyone on this forum based on UAE working in oil and gas trade? Hubby looking for a lead to get a job in the UAE (Dubai or Abu Dhabi) in oil and gas trade.

If any of you working in oil and gas trade through an agent in the UK, do u mind if i have the contact or the website address of the agent?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Novi! It's been a while! What exactly does your hubby do in the Oil/Gas industry and what's his educational background. I know a company that's looking for Chemical Engineers.

novita77

Hi Tami !!! Yes it is been long time.

I am afraid he don't have any clue with this chemical business

My hubby doing piping maintenance for qatar petroleum at the moment. He is a NDT engineer/inspector (or whatever u call them ).
Years ago he used to work for TWI (The Welding Institute) in Granta Park in Cambridge as an examiner. And he also did an NDT Inspector building a power plants in Indonesian and Malaysia.

About his educational background ... he owns this tons of certificates PCN, CSWIP or something like that (again i don't have any clue what you call each of qualifications ), that he have to renew once every 5 years by taking exams back to TWI.

I am sorry that I am not so clear about my hubby line of job ... he can work in oil and gas industry, he can work in building power plants and in singapore he job doing inspection for shipping company (inspecting their oil tankers) .

So ideally any job got something to do with NDT inspector is ideal for my hubby.

Thanks again Tami.

The Sykes-Picot Agreement : 1916
Introduction

The Sykes Picot agreement, concluded in 1916, divided the Middle East into areas of influence for France, Great Britain and others, giving the French control over modern Syria and Lebanon. Most of Palestine was to have been under international control. Though the agreement mentions the possibility of cessions by either side to an Arab state, it in fact made it impossible for Great Britain to honor the promises made by Sir Henry McMahon to Sheriff Hussayn in 1915. The agreement excluded the districts "west of the districts of Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo" as specified in the Hussayn-McMahon agreement, extending the line south so that Palestine was excluded from Arab control. However, the agreement also excluded two much larger areas that would be under direct British and French control, and split the Arab area into zones of British and French influence that would preclude full independence.


This means..basically..that if Lawerence of Arabia didnt meddle around with arabic affairs........then most of Arabia would now be under british control and we would be one of the richest countries in the world !!!!!

FACT

Here is the Original Draft proposal for the division of arabia between France and England

It might not have oil, but don't under estimate it's financial reserves. Example? Second largest reserve of US Dollars outside the US.

And a potential infantry size that dwarfs America and the UK combined

And what is left out here? Does everyone realise that Mecca from a histotical point of view actually belongs to Yemen? And that Yemen once swore on the holy book it would take back what belongs to them? As my ex partner (and Saudi national) once told me?

"What I'm scared of if the oil dries up? Not falling into a limbo of being forgotton as a country. What I'm scared of? Are the Yemens.."

And what's even more scary? They have the (proven) ability to think and act like Europeans. In the coming 10 years? That WILL make them the major economical force.
