    I work for the oil company


    I am a Senior Systems Consultant and work mainly with the enterprise system - SAP



    My job is more or less jumping from project to project as an "expert on SAP". Right now I am working in a project to force “help” our contracted drilling operators on the xHydro platforms to use SAP in the area of preventive maintenance.
    This is a demand that our friendly Petroleum Directorate has given us. They say: Since you own the platforms, the assets need to be in your system, not in your contractor’s. The Assets we are talking about is the drilling environment with its equipment on the platforms. Everything else is already in our system.
    I am currently working in teams of three people, one “SAP expert” (me), a Technician and an Electrician from each platform. We go through all the equipment drawings and consequence classifies every piece of equipment which needs maintenance. We then put them into SAP and make FV programs (Preventive maintenance programs) for them.

    Right now my team is working with Brage:



    I have already done Oseberg C.:



    We left the big one for last, the monstrous Oseberg Field center (Oseberg B):



    other teams are doing Grane, Oseberg E, Oseberg S, Njord A and Kvitebjørn.

    Although I don't have a job right now, I've always wanted to be either a writer some kind (playwright, script writer, novelist etc.) or a lawyer/solicitor (criminal law, not family law or anything like that, I'm not dealing with those annoying family disputes).

    I moderate several online fora on a website about the totalwar series. I make obscene amounts of money.
    And I sell camelmilk.

    ie. One of the guys I schedule.

    We call 'em Customer Service Engineers. Makes it fancy. But you can be anything in that job (I did it for a few months before the company was sold etc). You could be a sparky, a cabler, an IT guy, a plumber...anything.

    Currently I'm finishing my PhD thesis on models of continuity in the chronicles of medieval monastic orders. From january on I'll be working for a research project on transmission contexts of sermons of Meister Eckhart, probably for the next three years.

    I guess that makes me a scholar.
