Q: Mud Engineering job, should I accept it?
Hi all… I’m a petroleum engineering graduate, I have studied all the aspects of petroleum engineering, from drilling to production and reservoir engineering and obtained a B.Sc. I applied for job and got a position as a mud engineer. Is it a good position for someone with my educational background? Or am I throwing away most of my knowledge since I will not be using it? Please answer me, especially petroleum engineers, and most specifically, mud engineers.
A: For an entry-level position in the oil-patch it’s probably as good as any. I worked for Martin-Decker for a couple of years and worked through a couple of near blow-outs because the mud engineer let things get a bit light.

Yeah, it was almost 2 years ago when I might have put a resume on hotjobs.

A: They are headhunters looking for field engineers for Schlumberger Well Services.
I worked for Schlumberger when I first graduated. It’s decent starting pay for an engineer fresh out of school. The work is not technically demanding, but the hours can be a killer, as you will be on-call 24/7 for 14 days at-a-time (then you get 4 days off (at least that’s how it was back in the early 80’s).
The training will be 6 weeks in a training facility (was in Oklahoma City in early 80’s), where most of your living expenses will be paid.
The side benefits are excellent.
I also benefitted from the training in radiation (radioactivity theory) in my next 2 jobs after Schlumberger.
If you have any other questions about them — e-mail me.
PS I know nothing of Nicholas Charles (other than they *have* to be a headhunter company). Schlumberger should pay their hiring fee. If they don’t, try contacting Schlumberger directly.
