How to become a drilling fluids engineer?

On occasion, a company may offer to train staff on site, in which case you can enter the field with a high school diploma and prior experience in a drilling or oil rig environment; however, this would be an entry-level position, from which you may eventually work your way into a role related to fluids engineering. However, recruiters for engineer positions strongly prefer or outright require candidates have at least bachelor’s degree in engineering, especially with a focus on oil drilling or petroleum engineering. Most employers require a minimum of three to eight years of experience. Because these are off-shore roles, you may find more success living in a port city near to oil rigs.
