Hi all,

Apologies if this is a stupid question regarding the greenhand term. I have previous experience working offshore but not in a roustabout role. Is the greenhand roustabout term greenhand meaning no previous experience as a roustabout or just no previous experience offshore in general? Just curious as I was wondering if I would be able to apply for roustabout roles (hold valid offshore certs, as well as emergency response, W@H, banksman slinger stage 1) or if I would only be eligible to apply for greenhand roustabout roles when a vacancy like that becomes available? Any info much appreciated. Thanks guys.

A project that was very much not empty earlier today is now seemingly empty - it is asking me to set a projection and everything, like it's a new project.

Can you help?

If it is relevant, I renamed the project (from the windows folder the project is in) as I realised it had the same name as another version of the same project (that was used on an earlier version of Kingdom on another laptop and is now not really needed) - could that have caused it?

I have also been having problems with Kingdom not opening, but that was fixed today by my university's IT dept, and I opened the project in question successfully after it had been fixed. But now it is empty?

Thanks, from a silently crying PhD student........

Anybody else ever worked floors and went to the casing side ? I've worked floors a little over two years and decided to switch it up just curious if anyone else has done this and how'd it work out?

Can a company hire you before your “probation” period which is 90 days when you’re a temp to hire? Or they strictly need to wait the 90 days

I’m looking for an oil field company that will hire. I will be driving to west Texas today, and will start looking applying in person tomorrow morning. Does anyone have a recommended company I could go to. Supposedly “Texas casing service” is not hiring. Please and thank you for the help. I am 20

Hello I am a 17 year old male from Ontario. I will be going back to Alberta though after highschool because I have family out there, and a plave to live. I am aiming to be a lease hand or floorhand right when I am done highschool. I have my H2S Alive course booked on may 3rd and already have my WHIMIS 2015 and will have my first aid course done in a week. I have experience in heavy labour, as I worked for as a helper for a towing company and mechanic shop during this past summer putting in 60-70 hour weeks. I'm fit and a hard worker. What do you guys think? do I have a decent chance? if so what companies would your suggest? I have been researching some and like Stampede Drilling and Precision so far. For those of you who have the job right now, what would you suggest?

Hi. I'm a recent mechanical engineering graduate and I'm very interested in working in offshore platforms. Is it possible to get a job as an engineer with no experience. I already have the OPITO HUET and BOSIET courses but I don't really know what else to do.

Thanks!

Hi all! I’m graduating in may with a petroleum engineering bachelors degree and I’ve been looking for jobs but haven’t gotten anything yet. I did get a couple of interviews from the career fair and I got a second interview too but eventually I got rejected. My problem is I’ve never gotten a reply back from the jobs I apply to on LinkedIn. I have experience working on an oil rig and my gpa is a 2.5. Any advice would be appreciated!

I landed an internship for 3 months at SLB. I have read a lot about people’s experiences, and I want to ask if there’s anything I should know going in? They haven’t specified the work I’m to do but likely field engineering. I was asked about my interest in joining their sustainability team which is more office based, and I think I like that more than being a field engineer.

My background is master’s in civil engineering with published scholarly research. Hence, I would like to do more technical work to keep up my interests in research, etc. I know they are working on developing cement-free wells, I want to get in on that. Any advice on how I could ask for this on my first day tomorrow?

Hey everyone I'm H2S Technician working in UAE... But I'm not happy with this position I want to work on a field with heavy tools something which recognised.... I don't want to spend my more time on this position anyone can suggest me what will be the best service companies for me.... I want to go for wireline logging but don't know much about that.... I studied Mechanical Engineering in my university... And can anyone suggest about what is MWD and LWD do or what qualifications they need for this position.

Hi - I’m thinking about making a career change as I’ve heard jobs at the refinery pay substantially better than service industry’s jobs (where I currently work), but I know nothing about it. Could someone answer a couple questions for me? I live in Corpus Christi if that’s helpful.

1. what is an entry level job in this industry? Something I should look for given my limited experience.

2. is there good job growth? Ability to move up without a master’s degree?

3. are there times of the year that are busier than other time? Time where you should expect longer or shorter days?

4. are there good jobs you should aspire to? Ones you should stay away from.

Thanks!

Anyone work here? Got an interview next month. Wanted to get some info about the benefits and what should I wear.

I submitted a resume with halliburton for wireline for slickline trainee. I got some experience with hand tools, i currently work with a plumbing shop and stuff of that matter. I put on my resume i have a strong willingness to learn etc etc. How long could it take ro hear back from them and what are the chances im accepted. And lastly any advice on being able to be the best at the job? Besides working hard and learning quick?

Anyone ever worked as a Tech Professional with Haliburton with the completions team? If ya'll can have any feed back of what were your duties and or any advice you can give?

Thank You!

Hey guys,

I have a question. I’ve been a pumper for the last 3 years. I got incredibly lucky and work for an excellent company out of Wyoming (started as a roustabout). The chief operator saw my potential and work ethic I displayed everyday so he made me a lease operator. The company is probably going to sell in the next 3 years. So right now I am debating going back to school and finish my mechanical engineering degree or just hoping for the best when the company sells and pray the new owners care about their employees as much as the current. I’m 23 and work with guys who have 12+ years experience in the field but I fear I’ll be dropped as I don’t carry much value in comparison. I am in no rush to jump into something but thought I’d see what others think of the situation! So really any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys

Anyone have experience? Pros, cons, etc? Considering a change and they’ve got a couple opportunities that look up my alley. Gonna apply and see what they have to offer, but curious what others think or know about the company.

Whats a good oil rig company to get on with entry level? I got my boots wet in construction and most recently casing/rathole 5 months.

So I’m currently working in Houston at an office, I got hired on right out of college, only time I set foot in West Texas was for an internship ‘field trip’ I have a BSc in Geol. and I work with frac crews, I’ve been feeling like my lack of field expirence will hurt my potential career progression, additionally I’ve been told that being Geol in frac will make job searches much harder. So I’ve been thinking about trying to change to drilling by going to the field either as a MWD or if I can’t get one, a mud logger at a place that while teach to geosteer. All this to ask, how important is field expirence, and how likely is it you can make a good career without it

Fresh graduate with Bs MEng in Canada, got my first job as a project coordinator. Pay is quite low even for new grad, and I don't really like the management role. But for some reasons I'll probably have to stick with this job for 1-2 years. After that will I still be able to switch to an engineering role in future? And if I keep working as project management, how long it's gonna take to make 100k+ for a new grad?

I have an interview/work demo with Marathon in two weeks. I would appreciate any advice so that it goes well.

I went to other work path and now I came back to oilfield I have a contract to work as a wireline operator and I don't know anything about ghe hand work. in general is it the same as the work I was doing as Florman?

I’m early in my career and have an interview coming up for a Production Engineering role at Repsol in the U.S. I’m trying to gather as much info as I can about the company culture there.

Has anyone here worked at Repsol, or knows someone who has? I’m especially curious about:

The overall work atmosphere.

Work-life balance.

Support for career growth and learning.

Any insights or experiences you’re willing to share would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone!

to sum it up - I have always been an outside, hands on person. I was the 'car guy' in high school and have always been that type of hands on doing real work person. I went to college and got a MS in Mechanical Engineering and have been at a desk since i graduated 5 years ago. I work in the Architecture/Construction industry as a designer and have come to the realization that it's not for me. The best days for me are when I'm on site and am doing real work outside. I have a friend who made a big change a couple years ago and loves his new job in maritime dredging. I want to make a change and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on how to break into this field? I've never minded hard work and enjoy the challenges.

TLDR - I'm a desk jockey and want to get into Oil/gas doing real work. Any advice on getting started?

I’m starting a new job at a chemical plant and one of their requirements is to take the NAPTA Exam. Does anyone have experience with taking the North American Process Technology Alliances(NAPTA) Exam? If so, can you give me some books or websites that maybe helpful when it comes to passing the test.

Hey all, does anyone have any experience with the interview process at HF Sinclair? I have an interview for a midstream regulartory/corporate position, and I would love some insight. Also, what’s your opinion of the company culture?
