In the years 1975 thru 1982, I worked for both Halliburton (Rock Springs, WY) and later Schlumberger, also in Rock Springs. I was on the Halliburton Frac crew, and with Schlumberger, I was a drill stem tester. Schlumberger was primarily a logging service, so I can't comment on their fracking expertise, which came later. Summarizing, I can find no fault with either company. Accidents happened and lessons were learned.
Amigo tudo bem? Gostaria de trocar algumas informações com sua pessoa , sou só e não tenho ninguém para estar me passando as informações que preciso e acredito que vc pode me ajudar. Trabalhei prestando serviços para Halliburton e hoje quero voltar a fazer oq eu fazia , porém hoje estou me qualificando na mesma , antes fazia trabalho de técnico mas não tinha no papel . Hoje eu estou correndo atrás pra fazer meu curso técnico de mecânica e entrar para a área de manutenção em válvulas de cimentação, mas acredita que não sei qual área é essa kkkk Trabalhei 2 anos mas não sei qual área de macanica é essa que mexe com esses tipos de escapamentos, skid bombeio , volvula olortok, chiksan, b.o.p etc..... Pode me ajudar aí amigão
I saw this video 10 yrs ago and joined Schlumberger instead of Halliburton. Now I'm one of the Frac Technical Director for a reputable client. The Company taught me 2 things, how to CYA (cover your @$$) and how to squeeze your people till the last drop.
Is warehouse a good job in halliburton ? I'm wondering if I can get promotions and higher positions if I was good enough.. is it good to start a career?
@@TheRowdyone69 hell yeah.. others don't feel like they are making good money, but that is because they are living above their means. Here is the thing, and there is no trick to it. If you get paid $20 or $30 an hour, you need to live like you make that much. Work recently slowed down for us, so we got less hours so that the company adjusts itself to the realities of our situation as a company. Those fools that are on here talking negative about the company are those people that foolishly start throwing their money around and don't save for hard times. Another thing that is great about this company is that they don't start laying people off at the first time of any trouble on the stock market. We had our layoffs, yes. But, it wasn't as bad as others in the industry. This is the best place that you can be at to develop your self as a professional in the field that you choose. Good luck.
Halliburton = Walmart Same shit! Halliburton Is to the oilfield as to what Walmart is to retail. LOW wages! Poor management! BIG profits! I hope Schlumberger Buys Halliburton. So it will be better! and stronger! Than the rest!
You can describe SLB as a bigger company in terms of company activities expansion but, in terms of revenue, HLB is a bigger company, it even has a better ranking in the Fortune 500
Both seem to stay very busy up here in the Bakken. Worked with both companies, now they are basically one company here. They must both be doing something right to have kept busy during the down time ! Let's hope everyone gets busy !!!
Be prepared to be abused and used then discarded when things slowdown. It's all about that degree now. Might not know how to run the equipment but the paper says they do! All majors are going to hell in a hand basket!
My ol' Daddy was a Cementer for halli from '47 to '70 out of Houston(OST and Navigation locations) Was good friend of Coots Matthews. NEVER, EVER seen a red&gray rig with a sleeper on it! His sleeper was a piece of plywood across them 2 "rowbinder" seats in the cab and some blankets! When they said 24-7 they damn sure meant it! When he retired he looked 15 years older than he actually was. When they bought b & r, it just got worse.
I worked at Halliburton for 4 years. Ya the hour pay ain't that great but you get crazy hours. I was working 100 hour weeks there so I made damn good money.
The goal is to work less and make more. I worked for Halliburton in frac 4 years. You will become a good hand and learn to anticipate things that come up. But ultimately there are way better ways to make a living.
First time I have ever seen 6 hands for wireline to rig up, not counting the 3rd party lube hand. I am not partial to either company but that Halliburton wireline crew had it easy that day. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter the company you work for, it's more of a district thing. Whoever took this video was a brainwashed newbie trying to prove an 80+ year battle between the service company giants. Who is better? It depends on the crew, district and area. Btw, I neither work for Halliburton or Schlumberger.
this is so true. schlumberger no longer exists here in utah, they closed their doors. and bj only runs cement jobs here, no frac. weatherford still fracs and cements here, but about 2 years ago, they also closed shop, they recently started picking up again. fractech used to have a yard here, but they also closed down. i'm not saying halliburton is the best, but they are ahead of the game here in this district. i also noticed that each camp is different, our camp does better than some of the camps in texas, as far as taking care of their equipment.
@josieeee8 I actually got hired. The training was physical but easy to catch on to. Once you get past the heat it's ok. I left before I could actually get onto the field to return to Law Enforcement and that was a big mistake. If you get on, stay.
In the last couple months my SLB crew has had to rig up to old HAL sites that they couldn't finish. One job they couldn't establish rate on first stage and we came and pumped it with no problem. Both companies have their strong points and weak points.
Schlumberger is the best..Slb has better benefit family..free education in the best school in region (no limit school fee)..vacation travel allowance every year,so we can travel around the world(free ticket ,car rental etc),housing provided include free utilities and other benefit....my husband has been 22 years working ..we are happy with slb👍👌
The reason Halliburton is one of the biggest company out there is because its one of the lowest paying frac jobs out there , one of there home town they come from is Duncan Oklahoma they shewed all big companies that wanted to move there because they new they had to to start paying competitive wages there, Halliburton has control of the water plant in the town of Duncan ,each buisines has to have a supply of water to run it , they run out Goodyear plant ,Bar S and so on , that's just example . Halliburton start out pay $12 to $13 an hr and other company $17 on up .They screwed over Halliburton employe engineer his retirement there
It depends on which department. Each company has strong and weak departments. In my country SLB is better in Drilling BUT for stimulation Halliburton is the best company.
I use to work for shlumberger management but the fired me because one of the managers just don't like me any way ,I have a lawsuit against them, but I was looking at the market share each year quarter and shlumberger has more the 60% or more the rest is divided between the other companies including the red one
Halliburton is better than Schlumberger. What Schlumberger failed at, causing a country to become crippled in GDP, Halliburton stepped in a fixed the problem.
This video doesn't show any which way who does better quality work. It's just video of set ups. He's lucky perpetrators weren't on site or they'd snap his recorder
Non of the big boys if I have a say in it. Go for the small ones. They are driven, inventive, fast and cheap compared. You will not get the last 10% but hey.....you know the expression: the last 20% normally cost 80% more compared and boy....do Schlumburton know how to empty your pockets.
Hello, i am a chemical engineering student in Indonesia, could I join these two company ??? And what should I prepare for this ?? Now im in first semester of my study
It hard to dill with Halliburton worker theire so mean than u can belive they shout chenge there altitud ore have a law for workers to keep them in line
anyone can tell it depends who you are working with, it can be a great company and work with and for duchebags id rather work for less pay and have an awesome crew.
SLB has a better sand delivery system with their PCM and Pod and their personnel training is a little more intense. SLB oversells their capacity to cover jobs. HES has better iron and more efficient pumping equipment with stronger district management . HES's TCC is more customer friendly than the FracCat. IMO it's a tuff call but Big Red would be fracing my wells if I owned any.
hi, I am a recently graduated electromechanical engineer, could someone with experience give me some advice, if it is a good idea for some of the two companies or something?
I worked for schlumberger and my brother in law works with halliburton. Hali pays the employees less then burger flippers at your favorite diner but promises to take care of them. Schlumberger pays much better but still not the best, though threw schlumberger your top notch training you recieve will get you anywhere. haliburton is like the walmart of the oilfield and schlumberger is the central market where you go to get the good stuff. Not that it matters for north americans anymore with oil price dropping weekly
It's all about Baker Hughes the Alice Elite district!!! We rig up 100 barrel jobs with 12 people and pump a job in the same day, and we do the shit safely!!!! All about Bj legacy baby!
Red is the BEST..........but WFT wireline in around 5 years will be in the top positions. I look forward and I imagine a great fusion between WFT and HALLIBURTON...........
hello from argentina.siento bother Argentina this halliburton a very large and eager to go now I pay the riquisitos I 'm operator driver with dangerous loads but the question is , as ago to concer has alguin important q me a hand to enter ho -mail electronic
I ain't working for a company that is unable to pronounce its own name correctly. Halli is no candy though, I'd go with somebody smaller if you will. Like Cudd or Legend.
Comparing apple to orange is not what you’re showing, never seen 2 competing frac crew on the same well, one blue is doing the fluid pumping, while the red is doing the “ tree saver “ packer at the wellhead, after 42 years in the oilpatch services, I definitely think you to study the situations before trying to make useless comparisons, can’t vote when no opposition is available 😂
Halliburton was good before but now it be came very bad , there is safety police in etch but they don't fallow up thy do what is good for them business but thy don't care about propels in all PSL
I can't tell the difference except that SLB has healthier employees and the Halliburton look fat but that might be their coveralls. Lol I agree with the gentleman that stated that those are too big to compare let's look at the smaller companies... I do like Schlumberger..
