I have aboslutely no idea what Butchtroll is talking about. Scan "legals" for an employment application? He may claim that you have little experience as an electrical engineer; however, however, in your defense, I think he should either gain some experience applying for a job, or read your question more carefully . . . \n\nI took a look at their site, I would just send them an email expressing your interest. Most engineering jobs are not publically posted. Geographically, I'm not sure where you are but in the US and W. Europe, engineering jobs are usually found through headhunters (job placement agencies) that work with the major engineering firms and operating companies. \n\nIf you're looking for a major construction company, try Technicp, Stone&Webster, Halliburton, and some of the other majors. They hire electrical engineers (among others) all over the world.

I'm a Petroleum Engineer, graduated from the University of Tulsa in 1979, and my principle job was Production Engineering, which is probably similar to a Production Operator, or maybe the same thing.\n\nFirst, it will probably require a four-year degree in Petroleum Engineering. You must find this out first, otherwise, "the things you must know" are unimportant.\n\nWhere the Geologist is responsible for "where" a well is drilled, the Engineer usually determines if the well will produce from complex wireline logs that are ran when the drilling rig reaches Total Depth. \n\nThe Production Engineer takes control of an oil or gas well immediately after it has been drilled, before the drilling rig is dismantled and moved off the pad. He determines and  designs the size and thickness of the casing and wellhead, according to the depth, pressure, and production capabilities of the well, then determines the amount of cement needed to cement the casing in place.\n\nThen the completion of the well begins, and a workover rig is moved over the hole. In short, another wireline truck is moved over the hole, and holes are shot in the casing into the producing sand. The formation is then acidized and fractured hydraulically. If it produces, a production string of tubing is run in the hole.\n\nIf the well won't flow, then a pumping unit must be sized for the depth, production, etc.\n\nA tank battery is set up on location, including a separator, heater treater, and several tanks, depending on the amount of the production.\n\nLater in the life of the well, an engineer will be responsible for re-completing the well to another formation, or plugging and abandoning the well according to State regulations.\n\nA Production Operator is resposible for the production from several hundred wells, and when one stops producing, he must figure out why and get it bakc on line with the least of expense.

Many universities offer courses, either in the Geology or Petroleum Engineering departments.  The AAPG offers a short course coming up in August titled "Basic Well Log Analysis", that is taught by one of the best instructors on this subject, George Asquith. \nhttp://www.aapg.org/education/shortcourse/details.cfm?ID=45\nThere is a mudlogging course being taught at the AAPG convention in Houston in April:\nhttp://www.aapg.org/houston/courses.cfm\n\nI suggest you buy yourself a copy of "Basic Well Log Analysis" by George Asquith and Daniel Krygowski. This is published by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. To order a copy go here:\nhttp://www.aapg.org/   \nIn the short cut tab at the top of the page go to "bookstore"\n\nWhen you have digested that another valuable resource is the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts. You will want to download all of the mnemonics for well logs in order to understand what you are reading. \nhttp://www.spwla.org/\nThey also sell some useful publications. \n\nThere is a logging company called Wellog that has put a free web seminar up on well log interpretation that looks informative (I have not used it):\nhttp://www.wellog.com/interp.htm\n\nThe Society of Petroleum Engineers is another useful resource with excellent publications. \nhttp://www.spe.org/\nSPE publishes many books on well logging but the two introductory books I would recommend are:\n"Well Logging 1- Rock properties, Borehole environment, Mud and Temperature Logging" Monograph Volume 9\nand \n"Well Logging II- Electric and Acoustic Logging" Monograph Volume 10.\nThere are available at:\nhttps://www.spe.org/mbrservices/ShopperIndex.cfm?RptCategPassed=Web&RptCodePassed=mono\n\nIf you have some well log interpretation software, or even if you don't you can find what are called raster logs (image files) on the internet for many states. Louisiana has these at http://sonris-www.dnr.state.la.us/sonlite.htm\nOther states offer them in LAS or LIS format, which requires special software to interpret, but at Schlumberger you can download a free LAS toolbox that will allow you to read these logs:\nhttp://www.slb.com/content/services/evaluation/software/log_data_toolbox.asp\n\nAnother resource you can use that is on my own website (which probably needs to have some links updated) is this list of core and well log repositories:\nhttp://www.carbonates.us/cores.htm

Depending on your age, experience and grades, it can be fairly easy.  You would likely work for a chemical company or an oil company.  Current starting salaries are around $59K.  I wouldn't get an engineering degree though. You'll regret it.

You need a history of production, month by month to plot a Decline Curve. From that, you can extrapolate or extend the curve to its economic limit. That will give you a reserve estimate, future cash flow, and what the oil is worth. \n\nIf you can get the well records, you can see if there are any extraneous problems or expenses, like hole problems that cause frequent rod parts or holes in the tubing, or an increasing rate of salt water production. That water has to be hauled off at your expense. \n\nI'm assuming the wells are pumping; how new is the equipment and what is the salvage value? If the wells are fairly old, say more than 10 years, and not very deep, salvage value of equipment recovered usually almost equals plugging cost, unless you have somewhere to re-use the equipment or sell it.\n\nIf you can't get a payout in two or three years, it's probably not worth doing.\n\nYou've got an extremely high risk factor in the price of oil. Although it may not seem likely, oil prices could easily be cut in half this year. You didn't say what price you used to calculate your return. \n\nOne other thing. Find out if the owners are the ones that drilled the wells. If they've changed hands several times, forget it. Something is wrong and hidden.

I'm an Electronics and Computer Engineer.  Look at government positions for a Civil Engineer first and I think you would like the opportunities there.

depends on where you are.  Check with the planning commission in the municipality you're interested in.

how about seeking a teaching status (qualification) in your field of construction with a view to teaching it on a college level etc of whatever equivalent you have in the states.Or write a book on the subject.

Ask your local city planners office.

If you want an area that pays good and has excellent benefits I would suggest a career in City and Regional planning.  You can use your environmental degree and if you wanted to go back to school you could get your Masters in City Planning.  You can work for your local city, county, state, or federal government.  Another route would be working for a consulting firm that does environmental work and work for cities in that way.  The pay is good at first but gets better as time goes on.\n\nHope that helps.

I think you should be a substitute teacher for junior high or high school.  Volunteer for "engineers without borders" who do projects in developing countries.  Or be a contractor.  Oil exploration is big lately.

Not too bad, some of my friends work for Schlumberger, but it depends on what your job is exactly. If its a basic entry level field engineer you may find that it is quite tough as of the current climate at the moment. In a month expect to be working more than 14 days and not having too much time off. As the oil price is very high, most companies are very busy and thus are the people. Its a great time to get started as you progress much quicker than expected.  Depending on your qualifications, if you have a degree go into M/LWD or if not go into Wireline. Both jobs are good although wireline is a bit more stressful if things are not going to plan. If you want you can email me and I can suggest which companies to apply to.

Sounds like you are hired buddy. Congratulations. I had a buddy that used to drill for Schlumberger. That pneumatic drilling stuff. Just don't say, or do, anything dumb. Be professional and you'll be OK. They pay some excellent money and I wouldn't want to F it up.

Join the military as an Engineer, your housing, children and future will be covered. You can be a map maker which is what my husband did. When you get deployed you are on the very back lines. I suggest you do two years of college and go as an officer, I highly recommend air force. You can start as a poliot and change careers while you're in. \n\nDefinately look into it. Not everyone in the military sees combat. The benefits are out of this world, especially in today's ecom.
