Operators differ on what their top criteria is for hiring oilfield consultants. In our experience at DTC Energy Group, we’ve found they tend to focus on five main categories:
Operators tend to require a minimum of 10 years’ industry experience when hiring oilfield consultants, though many prefer at least 15 to 20 years.
Many operators look for a variety of experience when it comes to drilling and completions. Some have specific requirements, which may include:
Frac
Workover
Coil Tubing
Snubbing
Wireline
Fishing
Some operators require consultants to have previous experience working in the specific basin or formation they are hiring for.
Operators look for consultants who have excellent safety records and are up to date on their safety certifications. All consultants must be Well-Control certified at a minimum.
Consultants need to be effective leaders in the field. Their experience should reflect a strong ability to manage and work well with field personnel and third-party vendors. Consultants must also be able to work well with the Operator’s engineering team and superintendents.
