QUOTE(carloz28 @ Feb 10 2010, 04:04 PM) Not much difference actually. Both of them are powerhouses in the oilfield service industry. Technically, any service that SLB has, Halliburton can match it as well with their very own tools and equipment and vice versa. HOWEVER from the career perspective, the difference can be very significant. (eg. work culture, job security, $$$ and prospect) It wouldn't matter much to you right now because i think first u need some experience and exposure in the field first before start thinking about comparing companies. carloz28, thanks for your info, so any company you recommended except slb,halliburton,bh,exxon.m, shell??i just want to try apply and get some experience....thanks for your comment~

QUOTE(exp007 @ May 9 2010, 11:30 PM) 1) not too sure if it's very different, i have experience for drilling in oil rig but not in directional boring, but from search online about HDD it looks like there's some semblance to what we do but not exactly alike, the difference being directional boring is much shallower, the drilling is done in much softer formation, not much considerations about things like geomechanics or geo/petrophysics. The method to steer also is not exactly the same as well, with rotary steerable systems being used more & more in the oilfield and singleshot/multishot/gyro/mwd for direction & inclination. See these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_drilling, also goto websites like halliburton, baker hughes and schlumberger for more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_boring - HDD http://www.cherrington.com/html/directional_control.html - this with a mud motor looks more like what we do. 2) Anything is possible, but I would say those ppl who drill deep water wells would be considered to have more experience. Exp007, thanks for your information~
