So I've been applying for jobs and got contacted by Halliburton asking "Do you have some interest in visiting with our drilling fluids group?". And I figured some of the fine knife people here might know a thing or two about this. So...

Does anyone have any experience with them in this field, I know it has to do with drilling fluids. Any other info with the Halliburton job process would help. Thanks.
 
Never worked with Halliburton, but I've been around drill rigs a bit. It seems a little vague, "Drilling fluids group."
Mixing fluids out on the rigs? Development and research? Sales rep?
 
Halliburton is a company that is about 20 minutes from where I live. Although i have never personally worked for them, I did work on oil field locations when they were there and they seem like a good company to get involved with. A lot of my family is in the oilfield business and I know of 2 family members that retired from that company, and from what I understand they had great benefits and what not. I hear it's easy to move up as well and they offer many training courses which allow you to move up in pay/position. Those guys don't mess around. Best of luck to ya.

Vague indeed. That is all he gave me in the email. I am calling him tomorrow, I'm just trying to get a little info before I do.
 
To provide a bit more information:

'Drilling Fluids' provides fluids systems and services that help optimize the drilling and completion processes, maximize hydrocarbon production and manage drilling waste. It is also involved in remediation of the well. Thus Halliburton is part of the beginning and completion process.

Oilfield is not just about putting a hole in the ground and watching black liquid shoot out, there is a science behind it, and this company is one of the largest in the world that specializes in this field.

Beginning entry positions on location are intensely revolved around labor. The best part is the hours you will have while working, I think the least you would leave with as far as experience would be a CDL and probably your Hazardous materials license.

Entry level oilfield jobs are generally a young mans game because of the physical labor and hours involved. That said,Halliburton is an old school company that has been around the oil business forever.[Think the Bush's,Cheney, etc].:barf: You could find a lot worse places to start in this field. Like I did on a drilling rig. A lot of Halliburtons work involves well flow "stimulation". Google fracking and acidizing for more info on this.Good luck!--KV
