It all depends on the job you take. Production engineers, like those that work for chevron will work 40 hours a week like most jobs. They will report to the office like in New Orleans or Houston. Now, on a rig it is a totally different story. They will pull atleast 12 hours a day. Most over a hundred a week. Which engineers who work offshore or on a rig get paid by the hour or by the day. So, you are making the most for the time you sink in. I'm a petroleum engineering student at LSU. A few of our professor's have told us they spent 2 days up non stop sometimes. It all depends what is going on.
