Why is it so hard to find one who can do material balance or nodal analysis properly?
I guess bc most Res Eng are pencil pushing, bean counters these days. Personally I blame the shale plays.

MOSTResivior engineers are useless anyway. They may as well have an accounting degree. All they do is manipulate numbers to the low side when buying and high side when selling. Then they go somewhere in between when forecasting. They don't engineer shite.
FIFY. I agree, most now a days are like that. That is part of what is making it so hard to find someone. It's really hard to find anyone that knows how to analyze logs or do material balance or Nodal analysis or design a well properly. Don't fool yourself into thinking we are all like that. Oily is a MFing allstar.

Also consider changing your recruiting strategy. Is there anyone internal you can promote, even if involves relocation, and then look to back fill that position.
We have had 3 people in that position in the last 3 years. The first 2 were internal promotes. One stayed 6 months, the other 1 month. We went out and hired someone that stayed 8 months. We have been looking ever since.
When I say drilled wells, I mean as in: This is your rig, make sure it keeps drilling good wells. Drilling engineers don't drill wells. They dig holes where i tell them to.

Does the job ACTUALLY require 10 years experience to do the job? If not, then part of the problem could be that you are requiring unnecessary experience rather than looking at actual job and transferable skills that will work to get the job done. If you aren't willing to make any concessions about length of experience then you can't really bitch about candidates not willing to make concessions about salary, benefits, work days/environment, etc.
We are looking at anyone with 5-15 years of experience. YO experience is just a number. We are bringing in a girl with 3 years for an interview next week. We would hire anyone that we thought was a good fit. We have even started lowering the bar a little in hopes of finding a diamond in the rough. In 6 months, we have had 3 interviews and made 2 offers. Both were turned down. As far as I can tell our benefits are competitive, except for 9/80. We are trying to fill a good office gig, in Houston. It should not be this hard. Hell, the last couple of resumes they sent us were people with 5-6 years of experience that had NEVER drilled ONE well. How does that even happen?

not sure, you work for them. is this normal?
I want to know if it is "normal" for other companies.I already know that I find it unacceptable. If I am going to raise a stink about it, I need to be able to point to what other companies are doing ans show that we don't meet the industry "bench mark",

It's a great company. We just don't have 9/80, which puts us at a significant disadvantage were recruiting is concerned.

Well obviously, my question is how long until you start demanding some results?

Specifically, a Sr. Reservoir Eng or Sr Production Engineer, but I'm also interested in info from other fields.
We have had a Sr Res Eng position open in my asset for 210 days. That seems like a long time.

re: What to expect? Recruiter called about my resume on Monster

They get paid by the company they place you with. About 30% of what ever salary they get you. They will kiss your arse, bc you are like a big check made out to cash for them.
