How much money does a drilling engineer earn?

Answer 1

. Actually, I am studying to become a drilling engineer, average starting salary is between 90,000 and 110,000. This is depending on many things such as your school attended, job applied for etc. You should expect to make a good 3,000 a week. And with about 5 years experience, expect to make 150-180k per year. The downside in the drilling business is being on call 24 hours and it is very sensitive to the capital spending cycle in the oilpatch.
