question about job interview..

ok so a recruiting guy from a well known oil and gas company called me last tuesday

we talked about 30 min during the phone, and it seems that the phone interview went really well. He said that "we will definitely keep in touch" at the end of the conversation

It is now monday and I havent heard from him. Is it a good idea to emai/call him and ask how its going? or should I just wait?

 
I say give them a call tomorrow, and inquire about your status. As long as you don't pester them it just shows enthusiasm.

edit: tomorrow because a week is about right for a followup.
 
Depends on the organization, and the type of interview (formal visit, more casual, phone, etc).

Some form of correspondence - a gracious letter to the principal parties involved (head of the department, HR manager, etc), or even an email though snail mail can often be a better choice - offering thanks for the opportunity to visit their location and meet with the staff. Thank them, and give an honest assessment of what you thought. Restress a few of your best qualities hopefully outlined already in your initial cover letter. An enthusiastic approach to the letter itself serves well for one's chances, so long as it is not overly done to the point of sounding desperate.

Good luck.

Email through snail mail. Now that's something I'd like to see.

You may want to reread. That says "or even an email though snail mail can often be a better choice".

I know what it says. :;

You just caught it too quickly.

Actually, that is how it originally appeared, as shown in your own quotation above. Did however correct one typing error further down ("enthusiastic"), and removed the portion regarding "onsite interviews". Really, all those suggestions can apply to phone interviews as well.
