Mwd,then DD, then drilling engineer


This has been what I have always leaned toward wanting to do.

Guess I will keep my list the same, I made fluids the third bc I know they get picked up and they work the best schedules. Nothing about wire-line really excites me besides the fact they they travel a ton and work a decent schedule.

Well if that's your goal take a good look at being an M/LWD with big blue. Typically 2-4 years as a MWD (depending on location, US Land work will get you quicker) to become a DD. If they know you want to be a Drilling Engineer they'll typically leave you one more year in the field as a DD before the following promotion

Every Wireline hand I know works worse hours than I do as a MWD. They are typically up for 72+ hours going rig to rig and then get maybe 1-2 days back in town where they have to prep for their next job.
