Come over to the oil and gas sector ir maritime sector then, you'll see those earning way more than that...
Entry level jobs in Shell, Chevron or Total make abt 5m monthly in salary and allowances as a field engineer. In Local oild companies, you can be sure of about 2m as entry level of you have to be on the rig...

In the drilling sector, we have those we call Directional Drillers... For everyday they spend on the rig, the least of them is paid 300k to 500k daily. While the top ones can earn up to a thousand dollars daily.

Guess what, it takes at least 1 month to finish drilling a oil well... Some get to drill like 7 to 10 months in a year. Do the maths!!!

For field Engineers who we call LWD and MWD engineers, they make between 80k to 350k daily depending on their level and they spend a month on the rig before been crew changed.

Schlumberger is recruiting... Try to apply there and trust me, your salary can't be less than 1.7m for entry level. So, imagine those that have 10years experience in such field.



I get your point, but you can never drill a well in Nigeria in a month. Most good wells with low to moderate NPT and efficient rigs use 3 months on a good scale and can be as high as even close to a year if it's a problematic well.

Maybe in the US where they drill shallow wells you might be able to finish in a month, but never in Nigeria.

I don't know too much about the Salary, but i Know you are close if not right
