Dear all,
Hope you guys are doing fine.
I'm a chemical engineering graduate and currently on a fast track drilling apprenticeship program (where they train you from the ranks up, roustabout -> driller) with a drilling contractor that'll last for 3 years.
I've always been interested in the drilling aspect and the challenges that comes with it. But since I wasn't fortunate enough to be shortlisted by a major as a junior drilling engineer, I figured this fast track driller was second best.
Long story short: now that I'm with a drilling contractor as a rig crew, do majors recognize the experience I will gain from this and is it possible for me to switch from field operations with a drilling contractor to engineering & execution management as a drilling engineer for a major?
Thanks.
