Oilfield Joke: Need to hire a Drilling Engineer......

A big oilfield company was needing to hire a Drilling Engineer but had a problem as they had way too many candidates for the one position that was available. 


So to narrow down the group, the human resource director with a PHd in Philosophy gave a one question application after interviewing each of them on a broad array of topics.

The prospective Drilling Engineers were all gathered into a meeting room when the HR Director picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: “Using everything we have learned from your interviews, give me your best argument to prove that this chair does not exist.”

Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion.

Some applicants wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair. 

However,one member of the class, a former roughneck, was up and finished in less than a minute.

Weeks later when the position was filled by the former roughneck, the rest of the applicants wondered how he could have gotten the job when he had barely written anything at all.

His answer consisted of two words:

“What chair?”

Oilfield Joke: First Job in the Oilfield...

Joe recently graduated with a degree in Petroleum Engineering and finally landed an interview with a large Oil and Gas Company. 

Reaching the end of a job interview, the human resources person asked the excited young petroleum engineer, "And just what kind of starting salary were you looking for?"

The young engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a five-week vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching your retirement fund to 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?"

The young engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! That is Awesome, Are you kidding?"

The interviewer replied, "Yes, but you started it."

Oilfield Joke: I'm Going to be an Oilman, like my Daddy...

The dean of admissions at a prestigious university's School of Petroleum was interviewing a prospective student... 


"What do you plan to do with a degee in Oil and Gas economics and finance?" the dean asked. 

"I dream of making millions of dollars exploring and developing oil and gas plays, like my father," the student replied. 

The dean was obviously impressed... "Your father made millions of dollars in the oil business?" 

"No," replied the applicant... "But he always dreamed of it...."
