MUD ENGINEERING OVERVIEW
GET HIRED
Mud engineering is a sub-specialty of petroleum engineering, which is itself closely related to chemical engineering. The mud engineer (also known as a Drilling Fluid Technician) is an integral part of the process of drilling a new oil well, because specially constructed mud of a particular consistency is used to aid in the removal of drilled material from the wellhead as the drill bit progresses towards the oil reservoir. According to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, mud engineering is such a specialized discipline that most relevant training in the field is done by the company currently employing the prospective mud engineer. Each company engaged in drilling operations has its own methods and so its own requirements for a mud engineer. Because of the specialized training offered, a degree in engineering is not an absolute requirement in order to become a mud engineer, though the technical nature of the mud engineer’s position makes an engineering background highly desirable.
Once the degree is under your belt, apply for a position at a company involved in the drilling of oil wells. Many companies are involved in drilling a new oil well, not just the major energy conglomerates like BP, Exxon, or Shell. These energy majors are concerned with the exploration of new oil reservoirs, getting the oil, refining it, and bringing it to market. Different companies may drill the wells and even own the well structure itself. Once employed at a relevant company, be sure to express an interest in mud engineering operations and the desire to work in mud engineering to supervisors once a reputation for ability and dedication has been established. Few companies like to put an employee through extensive training only to have that employee jump to a different employer. Typically, mud engineers are trained and hired through internal corporate processes. In order to be accepted into a company
GET EDUCATED Although a specific degree in an engineering discipline is not a prerequisite for obtaining training as a mud engineer, it is still almost always necessary to obtain a four year bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. And while an engineering degree may not be an absolute prerequisite due to the specialized training specific to each employer, a knowledge of engineering principles, math and chemistry is essential to success. A degree in a discipline that requires quite a bit of science and mathematics coursework is ideal, due to the technical nature of the work. However, even a technically minded business major can make a successful mud engineer - knowledge of management techniques and project organization can make a mud engineer’s career more successful and lucrative.
Mud engineering is such a specialized discipline that most relevant training in the field is done by the company currently employing the prospective mud engineer mud engineering training program it will likely be necessary to obtain management approval. Mud engineering is such a specialized field that each company offers its own training curriculum in order to produce qualified mud engineers, and each looks for different qualities in a prospective mud engineer. But any decent company will look for similar attributes: dedication, competence, and intelligence. Once accepted, your course is simple: complete the company mud engineering curriculum! This will require at least several months of intensive training, and continuing education will be necessary to maintain competence as a mud engineer. But once qualified you will possess an inherently valuable and highly marketable skill in the modern climate of increasing energy scarcity.

You’re a what?
Seismologist Sara Royster
For many people, earthquakes cause fear. But Graham Kent isn’t afraid. He studies and learns from earthquakes as a seismologist and director of the Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno. Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and related phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes occur when the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust shift and release energy in the form of waves. These seismic waves, which move through the Earth’s molten core, can cause destruction on the surface by damaging structures, warping roads and bridges, and injuring living things. Graham’s work is about more than just earthquakes, though. Seismologists also apply what they learn from studying the Earth’s structure and other geological events, such as tsunamis, for commercial and other purposes, such as detecting nuclear explosions.
Seismologists often have additional responsibilities, regardless of their focus. In overseeing the lab, for example, Graham manages budgets and completes administrative work. “A lot of what I do involves paperwork, which takes up a large amount of time,” he says.
RESEARCH.
Research seismologists study the internal structure of the Earth and try to determine factors that contribute to or foretell an earthquake. They publish their findings in scientific journals or present them at academic forums—or do both. Their work helps guide engineering and building practices to improve safety wherever earthquakes are common. In addition to conducting their own projects, research seismologists usually teach collegeor graduate-level courses and supervise students’ work. Universities and government entities, such as the U.S. Geological Survey, employ most of these seismologists.
Observation.
Seismologists who focus on observation record and analyze data from the thousands of earthquakes, both big and small, that occur around the world every year.
Robin Bell - Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory
What they do
Seismologists’ tasks vary, depending on their area of focus. Some seismologists conduct research, for example; others directly observe earthquakes. Still others use their expertise in practical applications. Their work also may combine these Vol. 20 different Issue 1002 areas of focus.
50
August 21- August 28, 2015
They often work in observatories or analysis centers, which are usually built and supported by universities or national governments. For example, Graham’s laboratory studies all earthquakes that occur in Nevada. The laboratory staff, which includes seismologists and students, maps each earthquake and collects associated data, such as its precise location and magnitude. This information is communicated to relief workers in order to aid residents in the affected area.
Applications.
Instead of studying earthquakes, some seismologists apply their knowledge to commercial or other uses. For example, they may use
sound waves to aid the energy industry in finding oil deep under the Earth’s crust. Seismology also can help detect nuclear explosions. These explosions create seismic waves that can be identified at great distances, so seismologists help monitor whether countries are complying with nuclear test bans.
How they prepare
To become a seismologist, you need specific skills and a graduate degree. Graham suggests also having a range of interests. “You need to be a bit of an explorer, a bit of an engineer,” he says. “It’s important to have a wide toolset and be able to take in all kinds of information and make something useful out of it.”
Skills.
Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are essential for seismologists. Their work often involves collecting and analyzing data to develop solid conclusions. Seismologists should also work well independ e n t l y, s o m e t i m e s with limited information. “There is no sign that says ‘Dig here!’ in our work,” says Graham. “You need to be comfortable striking out on your own and working without specific direction.”
But just because seismologists are self-directed doesn’t mean they work alone. Interpersonal skills are imperative for seismologists, because they are often part of a team that includes other scientists, researchers, and students. And seismologists need good communication skills to write papers, present their work, and speak clearly about complex topics.
for prospective seismologists to prepare for a career. These experiences may be available to both undergraduate and graduate students. Summer camps may also allow students to apply their knowledge by collecting and analyzing their own data. What to expect
Seismologists also must have physical stamina and enjoy working outdoors.
Working as a seismologist can be interesting and rewarding, but, like any job, seismology has its frustrations and difficulties, too.

How much education prospective seismologists get depends on what they want to do—but they should plan to earn a master’s degree if they want to do fieldwork, says Graham: “To work as a seismologist in the field, a Ph.D. is too much and a bachelor’s degree is not enough.” During fieldwork, seismologists travel to earthquake-prone areas to collect data and physical specimens for lab analysis. Coursework usually includes subjects such as geology, math, and physics. Knowledge of data analysis software is also important. Most seismologists who observe earthquakes or apply their knowledge commercially have a master’s degree in geophysics or a related science. However, some entry-level positions may be available for workers with a bachelor’s degree. Other areas of study, such as engineering, are also acceptable. Seismologists focusing in research or teaching usually need a Ph.D. Conducting fieldwork and getting laboratory experience, such as by using data to create computer simulations of earthquakes, are good ways
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not collect data specific to seismologists. Instead, BLS counts seismologists among geoscientists, a more general category that also includes geologists and oceanographers. In May 2013, there were 34,690 geoscientists, excluding hydrologists and geographers, according to BLS. Their median annual wage was $91,920, compared with a median wage of $35,080 for all workers. Within the occupation of geoscientist, wages vary by industry. For example, the median wage for geoscientists, excluding hydrologists and geographers, in federal, state, and local government was $79,770 in May 2013; the median wage for this occupation in oil and gas extraction was nearly double that: $142,860.
Challenges & rewards.
Among the perks of being a seismologist, says Graham, is working on projects that keep communities safe—sometimes in unexpected ways. For example, Graham’s seismology lab is leading an effort to install potentially life-saving fire cameras on mountaintops in northern California, an outgrowth of seismic monitoring equipment his team set up previously. “The cameras allow firefighters to watch over areas that are difficult to access after lightning storms,” he says. “They can detect forest fires long before they become a threat to people.” But some projects require seismologists to get permits for installing cameras or seismometers, instruments that measure seismic waves and collect other data, on protected federal lands. And that task is sometimes challenging. “We can’t always get permits for what we want to do,” says Graham. “It can really stifle our research.”
Even if permits are available, securing the funding needed for a project can be difficult. Seismologists apply for grants from governments or nonprofit organizations by submitting a description of the project and its costs. But money for these projects is limited, and seismologists compete with other scientific projects for the same funds. They learn to Seismologists work primarily in areas of the stretch whatever resources they have. United States where earthquakes are common, such as the West Coast.

Inaugural Young Manufacturers Summer Academy a Success The Dream It. Do It. Southeast Texas program recently concluded its inaugural Young Manufacturers Summer Academy (YMSA) at the Cleveland-Ripley Neighborhood Center in Pasadena, Texas. The event was sponsored by Sandvik Coromant. Students attending the week long program participated in hands-on educational activities, tours, and got a great look into the manufacturing careers available to them in the near future.

Fair capstone event.
SKILLED WORKER SHORTAGE
Each activity during the Academy also focused on developing vital professional soft skills like teamwork and communication, in order to prepare students for the workplace. Presentations and videos were provided to implement industry-modeled “Lunch and Learn” events to further explore various topics, including: educational options, career pathways, and the skills necessary to obtain careers in manufacturing. The program’s culminating event was a mock Career Fair with representatives from local industries participating as interviewers and mentors. Students presented their resumes and portfolios during conversations with real manufacturers, and students’ families had a first-hand opportunity to witness the effects of positive career guidance.
YMSA ACTIVITIES
Also during the program, students were introduced to manufacturing by local industry leaders such as Air Products, who presented a liquid nitrogen ice cream demonstration, and Shell Deer Park and the Port of Houston Authority who provided students a tour of their facilities. Finally, San Jacinto College participated in the students’ final “Lunch and Learn” to discuss educational pathways for the careers they had been exposed to throughout the week. Dream It. Do It. Southeast Texas would like to thank all the industry and educational partners who participated in the program: Sandvik Coromant, Shell Deer Park, Port of Houston Authority, San Jacinto College, Workforce Solutions, Dixie Chemical, Allectus, National Oilwell Varco, and the Greater Houston Manufacturers Association.
The advanced manufacturing industry is facing an unprecedented shortage of skilled workers that will continue to intensify in the future if not addressed. If the Southeast Texas region is to maintain a competitive edge in the global economy, the pipeline of students prepared to enter advanced manufacturing careers must be increased. Despite perceptions to the contrary, the reality is that modern manufacturing takes place in high-tech facilities, and there are many opportunities for young people with the right skills to be innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial in a range of highwage, interesting careers. Today’s careers in manufacturing require technology literacy, reasoning, and problem-solving proficiencies.

ASK DIANA Q: I am a computer science professor who is moving back into the industry, & interviewing has been interesting. I’ve had about six interviews, & the questions that I have been asked sometimes throw me. It seems apparent that the people interviewing me have a negative opinion about academia & tend to believe that we are not supervised & don’t have deadlines. One person asked me several times if I were able to take direction. Believe me that I get a lot of direction from supervisors! I was surprised by one question that the company asked my recruiter. She told me about it, & I emailed a long response to her. It wasn’t as polished as it would have been if I were sending it directly to the company. I told her that I would send a more professional letter but was surprised to learn she had already forwarded it to them. It was pretty direct, & I would have toned it down a little before sending. On the plus side, that company is supposed to give me an offer on Monday. I tend to not judge my interviewers much during the interview, but after evaluating, I think they would be easy people to get along with & will probably accept the offer. I wonder if the letter helped or hurt. Another question that I have is about the interviewing process when you are using a recruiter. I hear that they try to schedule three candidates to interview for each position. Is it true
GENERAL
that they have two that fit & one that is different & might or might not work? I have been wondering if I am being presented as the odd one because of my teaching background. BTW, I still have interviews scheduled for Monday & Tuesday. -Houston, Texas Reader
A: More than likely some people are intimidated when they interview a professor because they assume that you are smarter than they are!! Hey, that’s what we learned in college. They are concerned that you will seem distant or arrogant or any of a hundred other professor stereotypes. As for the letter, the recruiter made a decision based on her experience, & it looks like it was the right choice. The fact that the letter was direct & frank showed your assertiveness & willingness to do what is necessary to succeed. I’m sure they are pleased with your response if they are preparing an offer to give you on Monday! You need to remember, though, that you are interviewing the company as much as the company is interviewing you. In your field, there are only 1.7 candidates for each position. (I don’t know who that .7 person is!) Take notes, remember how the group interacted, & continuously ask yourself if you feel comfortable with them.
You’re right about the three candidates’ schedule. I don’t think you are the oddball candidate, though. Keep on being assertive about your talents & skills because that’s what the company needs. I’m glad that you are still interviewing because having the recruiter as a liaison makes it harder to know what was actually said. I hope you get the offer on Monday & that you love your new job.
Q: I eventually want to go into politics, & I wonder what type of job would be best while I’m going to school. I wouldn’t want anything that gives a bad impression. -Clear Lake, Houston Reader
A: Well, bless your heart. Avoid anything that makes you cringe because it will make others cringe. Try to get work in a law office. That should look good on the resume. If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not ever y question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 day s.

Successful Salary Salary Successful Negotiations in in Negotiations Today’s Economy Economy Today’s by Robin Ryan, Author of “60 Seconds & You’re Hired” It’s important for you to know that the highest salary increases come when you quit a job, move to a new employer and are savvy at salary negotiations.
association - almost all publish salary ranges based on job title and experience level. Another way is to go online to payscale and use their free tool to determine the salary range employers are paying for someone with your job title. If relocation is a necessary part of your career path, use online tools to compare housing costs, and earnings levels in different regions, etc.

Armed with effective strategies she landed a job adding a $32,000 pay increase over the job she left.
Here are some guidelines to go about asking for more salary.
KNOW WHAT YOUR SKILLS ARE WORTH. Don’t guess, KNOW! This is a big mistake. Sometimes you were underpaid at your last or current job. This often happens when you have been with the same employer over several years and mostly got small cost of living raises. You can check with your professional
NOT TRYING IS A BIG MISTAKE. Some people never even try to negotiate at all. Women are particularly unskilled and most accept the 1st offer which is a key factor in why women are still paid 23% less than men. Too many people today simply accept the offer as given. Prepare in advance what you’ll say ONCE the offer has been made.
Knowing what the average salary is for your job level should allow you to have a realistic idea of what range you are in. Asking for a bit more and then offering 4-5 good reasons why they need your talents, will help convince the employer that you would be a valuable addition to their team and the extra dollars are worth paying. GET AN EMPLOYMENT LETTER. Promises are quickly forgotten once you start the job. Get the details in writing so there are no misunderstandings later by requesting an employment letter from the employer.

Our focus is on supporting the specific skilled trades that help close the country’s skills gap and those that represent the significant bulk of our unfilled jobs. The Foundation has been instrumental in granting more than $3 million in scholarships to schools around the country, including Midwest Technical Institute, Tulsa Welding School, The Refrigeration School and Universal Technical Institute. One of the most important objectives of the mrW Foundation is to continually provide opportunities for financial aid to help those qualified individuals who are interested in learning a skill and mastering a trade. Toward that goal, we are continually creating a variety of scholarship programs with like-minded institutions and organizations. Each program has it’s own nuances but all are similar in that they intend to further Mike’s “PR Campaign for Hard Work.”

Port of Houston Authority Throughput Likely to Reach Nearly 20 Million Tons Business at the Port of Houston Authority terminals continues at a record pace. Nearly 20 million tons of cargo has crossed the Port Authority docks since the first of this year through June, Executive Director Roger Guenther announced in his report to the Port Commission today during the regular monthly meeting, the Port Authority said in a news release. Guenther identified loaded container units and steel imports as the key performance drivers responsible for the strong solid growth in cargo. Year to date through June, the Port Authority’s Barbours Cut and Bayport Container Terminals showed a 20 percent increase in loaded container units. The general cargo terminals showed a robust 26 percent growth in import steel tonnage during this same period.
“Business has reached its highest levels across several key business lines during recent years,” Guenther said in his report to the Commission. “And, we must continue to strategically plan for the future opportunities,” he further stated.
