Field Engineer
Innovative, adventurous and up for a challenge – is that you? If so, consider a career as a field engineer at Halliburton. As one of the world’s largest energy service companies, Halliburton provides oil and gas operators with the technology, solutions and expertise to locate, drill, evaluate, produce and maintain their oil and gas wells. Our field engineers are on the front line, representing Halliburton in the field as we provide these services that are vital to our customers and the energy industry as a whole.
What you will do
As a field engineer, you will use the technical and operational expertise gained through Halliburton's world-class training to work as an onsite leader. Depending on your work assignment, your responsibilities may include:
- Leading a crew to ensure that each project conforms to Halliburton’s standards for both quality and safety
- Interpreting wellsite data in real time, using complex technologies such as software simulators and the latest electrical and mechanical equipment
- Working on pre-job planning, job execution and post-job analysis to ensure project efficiency
- Troubleshooting on-the-spot issues at the wellsite.
Based on your preferences, you may be matched to one of the following Halliburton product service lines:
Sperry Drilling
Sperry Drilling field engineers work at the rigsite, drilling wells and using the latest technologies to find the most direct route to our customers’ hydrocarbon assets. Work schedules often include overnight stays at the rigsite for anywhere from one night to three weeks.
Wireline and Perforating
Once the well is drilled, our field engineers use electronic tools and computerized surface systems at the wellsite to record and analyze the geological formations. It also includes “perforating” which uses explosives to provide maximum well and reservoir productivity. Wireline engineers work an on-call schedule that may require spending one night to two nights in the field.
Production Enhancement
When the well’s production depth has been determined, Production Enhancement field engineers oversee and execute stimulation designs and techniques to improve the hydrocarbon output of the well. Work schedules are on-call and include irregular daytime hours as well as nights in the field.
Cementing
Cementing field engineers deliver products and services to ensure that wells have been cemented effectively for stabilization purposes, which allows for further actions to be taken on the well. Work schedules are on-call, providing technical support to wells and spending some nights in the field.
Completions Tools
Field engineers for Completion Tools primarily provide the design, selection and installation of equipment and procedures to maximize well production. The scope of their duties requires them to have knowledge of multiple products for different product service lines. Work schedules are on-call and can include spending nights in the field.
Where you will work
Field engineers work both onshore and offshore, perform very physical work and keep demanding schedules – often in harsh outdoor environments that range from extreme heat to bitter cold and every climate in between.
Work locations vary according to the needs of our customers, which means that you may have to relocate. We currently have opportunities for field engineers in Alaska, Arkansas, California, Utah, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, North Dakota and Pennsylvania.
