What is a Field Engineer? o you want to work with some of the world’s most advanced technology as an engineer today? Do you want to prepare for a career as a manager in the near future?

THE GROWING NEED FOR ENGINEERING TALENT Oil and natural gas supply almost two-thirds of the world’s energy needs today and are likely to continue to do so for many decades to come. Even with the rapid development of alternative sources of energy, more efficient consumption of hydrocarbons, and necessary mitigation of carbon dioxide emissions, the demand for oil and gas will strengthen, driven by the world’s developing economies. In this landscape, the exploration and production (E&P) industry is increasingly challenged to bring new supplies on line, on time, and at acceptable cost.
While the world is not running out of oil and gas reserves anytime soon, their future development poses significant challenges for an industry that has only recently emerged from a long period of under-investment.
more efficiently. As a Field Engineer you will be completely responsible for all aspects of the Schlumberger operation at the job site, be it a seismic vessel, an offshore oil rig, or a desert land rig.
New exploration, some of which has already begun, will be hampered by the remoteness, inaccessibility, or geological complexity of many areas.
Starting positions are available throughout the United States and internationally, virtually anywhere oil and gas are found. Field Engineers are given a great deal of independence and responsibility early in their careers and must have a high degree of self-sufficiency.
Reservoirs that have been producing for many years require increasing effort to sustain production levels as performance declines become progressively more difficult to reserve. To overcome these challenges, new ways of working, new technologies, and new business relationships are necessary components of the E&P industry’s response.
AT THE CENTER OF THE ACTION The Schlumberger Field Engineer position is a demanding, sometimes physical job involving complex technology utilized to optimize solutions for our clients. The information and services the Field Engineer provides helps clients locate, evaluate, and produce oil and gas reservoirs
The job requires the ability to work under pressure and thrive in a variety of outdoor, 24-hour work environments. A sense of adventure is a must!
