Pipeline or Flow Assurance Engineering

[sean77]

Hello all,

I have a Mechanical Engineering background. Judging from the current development in deepwater exploration, i reckon that subsea engineering will be a hot prospect in the next few years.

I'm currently thinking of applying for a job as either Pipeline Engineer or Flow Assurance Engineer. Therefore, I would like to ask my engineering brothers here which one between the two has better prospect in terms of remuneration and job opportunities? Is Pipeline Eng. better or Flow Assurance better?

Or is it safer to stick to more common jobs like Piping Engineer???

I would appreciate if any seniors here can enlighten me and give my some guidance.

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
