For the engineers it's not bad. I think they just do M-F 8-5. And then you might catch a few jobs on a weekend or during the week. Completion tools is more of a desk job

Where you out at Williams for a little while?

Field engineer will probably be 90% field work or more.

Not in Halliburton Completions. Most of the work is done at the facility. You really aren't a traditional "field engineer". Frac Engineers, Wireline Engineers, Cementing Engineers, etc. spend a lot of time in the field and are more of your real "field engineers".

90%? HA. It's probably 40-50%

Had dinner with some Halliburton execs at the IADC/SPE Drilling expo in Fort Worth this week. They said if you are in the Houston to Lafayette corridor and don't have a job right now, you're either a deadbeat not really trying to work or you're already dead.
Ride the wave while it's high, boys!

You know the name of the person that interviewed you?

I actually had an interview today too. For engineering design job in Oklahoma. Guys name was Micah. It was a really laid back interview. Strictly behavioral questions. How'd it go

Duncan OK? That's going to be an R&D position most likely, not a field job. I would see if there are opportunities in Texas before Duncan. I've heard Duncan is not the most interesting place to be in the world.

What type job do you do in cementing? I work for big red in GOM cementing too. Only 3yrs though... Still a young buck. You work offshore?

I'm a design engineer for Halliburton and have had to go to Duncan a few times for various things.
Duncan is a miserable town. However, the cost of living is low so you have that going for you.

KG, we might know each other. What PSL are you in?
Posted on 3/7/14 at 10:25 pm to kingbob
How did it go? I'm trying to get on for a field position also.

I felt like it went really well. The interviewer and I had a lot in common, spent half the interview bs'ing about random stuff. I hope I get a second interview, but I guess I'll have to wait and see. Who knows, maybe the recruiter posts here and is trying to figure out which candidate I am.

You should have told him you were kingbob from TD....insta-hired, obviously.
Rookie mistake

It's not like I was interviewing for a judgeship!

That schedule sounds more generous than it used to be. I started out on that side of the business but quickly made the jump to drilling before I got stuck there.
