The Oil Field Business

[iAMclueless]

This is where many of you looking for jobs need to be, especially for those who just finished their technical degrees or college degrees in engineering or computer science.

 

I am speaking of 15,000 a month straight out of college.

 

There are downsides to it though. You may have to go to the rig for like 2 weeks at a time, physical labor may be required (left more than 50 ibm) (if you are in a drilling segment).

 

I am speaking of companies who provide services for companies like BP, Shell, Exxon, Encana, Pablo, Chesapeake, and so on.

 

The oil field is basically divided into three main segments:

 

1) Drilling

2) Wireline

3) Well completion.

 

Of course there are more.

 

Most of those companies will hire and would provide extensive training for their employees. Their training is like school. You fail you are fired, you pass you make tons of money.

 

Some of these companies are:

 

Schlumberger

Baker Hughes

Halliburton

PathFinder

Scientific Drilling.

 

Schlumberger alone is looking into hiring 6000 people this year.

 

Take the advantage and search into these things.

 

Good luck to you all.

I'm a Computer Science major. But I wouldn't want to work at an oil rig for my career.
