What This Job Is

You watch the well.

Gas, cuttings, pit levels, pump rates and ROP, the whole tour. You are the first one who sees a kick or losses coming, and the first one who has to say it out loud.

You catch and describe the samples, keep the set straight, run the gear in the unit, and build the log the wellsite geologist and the company man read off.

A degree helps. It is not the wall: Mojo will look at a hand who has already logged without one.

Duties

• Watches the well the whole tour: gas, cuttings, pit levels, pump rates and ROP.
• Calls a kick, losses or anything off before it gets away from the rig.
• Catches, washes and describes samples, and keeps the sample set straight.
• Runs the unit: sensors, data acquisition and the lab gear in it.
• Builds the mud log and the special logs the wellsite geologist and the company man read off.

Where You'd Be

North Dakota and Montana rigs, run out of Mojo's office in Casper, Wyoming.

$70,000 to $120,000 a year, on experience, education, the kind of work and the days you put in the field.

20 and 10 on steady programs, set job to job on the rest. Mileage and per diem are paid to the rig and back, so getting there is not out of your pocket.

What You Need

Time already logging. A degree in geology or engineering helps, and Mojo will look at a hand who has logged without one. H2S and First Aid. A valid driver license, because you get yourself to the rig. Mojo runs a drug-free workplace: testing before hire, at random, after an incident and on reasonable suspicion.
