    A technical write within the oil and gas industry is one that can write operating manual. This is a very specific and special field.

    Put it this way, when you buy a toy train with flashing lights from toy”r”us, you expect a little manual which tells you the hazard, what comes with the toy, what do you need to have to start the toy train, how to put it together, put in the batteries, how to start-it, how to keep the toy, maintain, and dispose it when you finish.

    You need to write that also for a very very very expensive toy (i.e. an offshore platform, a LNG/LPG plant etc).

    You must have the following experience;
    1. Process engineering design knowledge
    2. Pre-commissioning/commissioning experience
    3. Plant maintenance and operating experience

    That’s very specialised! Just a question – how fast does the technology evolve in the oil and gas industry?

      Sohas: topsides technology doesn’t evolve very fast. Reservoir related research and technology moves faster, as gains in this field usually translate to bigger rewards.
