Hi sean...

I thought replying in the forum will help others also...


Firstly,, my personal feeling is tht you being from mechanical background, it may not be good to concentrate on FA.. as it deals with all process/petroleum related...

But I have seen guys with mechanical background working on simulation... building models and running simulations in OLGA, pipesim,, etc...

It would be a excellent choice for you to choose subsea as it mostly(98%) related to mechanical engineering..

Subsea engineering deals with subsea/ROV tooling, installation of subsea structures, pipelines, fixing of seals, etc...

If you go into design side of subsea also, you have a wide opportunity...

Flow assurance deals with , Hydrate formation, waxing, slugs, study on pressure, temperature data, well performance analysis, etc...

Further any details... pls post your query...
