A Day in the Life of the Women of O&G
by Jaime Kammerzell From Rigzone Contributor. Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Although far fewer women work in the oil and gas (O&G) industry compared to men, many women find rewarding careers in the industry. Five women were asked the same questions regarding their career choices in the oil and gas industry.
Question 1: Why did you choose the oil and gas industry?
Woman 1: Cool technology, applying science and money.
Woman 2: It seemed interesting and the pay was good.
Woman 3: They offered me a job! I couldn’t turn down the great starting salary and a chance to live in New Orleans.
Woman 4: I did not really choose the oil and gas industry as much as it chose me.
Woman 5: I chose the oil and gas industry because of the challenging projects, and I want to be part of our country’s energy solution.
Question 2: How did you get your start in the oil and gas industry?
Woman 1: I went to a university that all major oil companies recruit. I received a summer internship with Texaco before my last year of my Master’s degree.
Woman 2: I was recruited at a Texas Tech Engineering Job Fair.
Woman 3: At the time, campus recruiters came to the geosciences department of my university annually and they sponsored scholarships for graduate students to help complete their research. Even though my Master’s thesis was more geared toward environmental studies, as a recipient of one of these scholarships, my graduate advisor strongly encouraged me to participate when the time came for O&G Industry interviews.
Woman 4: I was working for a company in another state where oil and gas was not its primary business. When the company sold its division in the state where I was working, they offered me a position at the company’s headquarters in Houston managing the aftermarket sales for the company’s largest region. Aftermarket sales supported the on-highway, construction, industrial, agricultural and the oil and gas markets. After one year, the company asked me to take the position of managing their marine and offshore power products division. I held that position for three years. I left that company to join a new startup company where I hold the position of president.
Woman 5: My first job in the oil and gas industry was an internship with Mobil Oil Corp., in New Orleans.I worked with a lot of smart, focused and talented geoscientists and engineers.
Question 3: Describe your typical day.
Woman 1: Tough one to describe a typical day. I generally read email, go to a couple of meetings and work with the field’s earth model or look at seismic.
Woman 2: I talk with clients, help prepare bids and work on getting projects out the door. My days are never the same, which is what I love about the job I have.
Woman 3: I usually work from 7:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. (although the official day is shorter). We call the field every morning for an update on operations, security, construction, facilities and production engineering activities. I work with my team leads on short-term and long-term projects to enhance production (a lot of emails and Powerpoint). I usually have 2-3 meetings per day to discuss/prioritize/review ongoing or upcoming work (production optimization, simulation modeling, drilling plans, geologic interpretation, workovers, etc.). Beyond our team, I also participate in a number of broader business initiatives and leadership teams.
Woman 4: A typical day is a hectic day for me. My day usually starts well before 8 a.m. with phone calls and emails with our facility in Norway, as well as other business relationships abroad. At the office, I am involved in the daily business operations and also stay closely involved in the projects and the sales efforts. On any given day I am working on budgets and finance, attending project meetings, attending engineering meetings, reviewing drawings and technical specifications, meeting with clients and prospective clients, reviewing sales proposals, evaluating new business opportunities and making a lot of decisions.
Woman 5: On most days I work on my computer to complete my projects. I interpret logs, create maps, research local and regional geology or write documents. I go to project meetings almost every day. I typically work only during business hours, but there are times when I get calls at night or on weekends from a rig or other geologists for assistance with a technical problem.

Texto I

O gigolô das palavras

Quatro ou cinco grupos diferentes de alunos do Farroupilha estiveram lá em casa numa mesma missão, designada por seu professor de Português: saber se eu considerava o estudo da Gramática indispensável para aprender e usar a nossa ou qualquer outra língua. Suspeitei de saída que o tal professor lia esta coluna, se descabelava diariamente com suas afrontas às leis da língua, e aproveitava aquela oportunidade para me desmascarar. Já estava até preparando, às pressas, minha defesa (“Culpa da revisão! Culpa da revisão!”). Mas os alunos desfizeram o equívoco antes que ele se criasse. Eles mesmos tinham escolhido os nomes a serem entrevistados. Vocês têm certeza que não pegaram o Veríssimo errado? Não. Então vamos em frente.

Respondi que a linguagem, qualquer linguagem, é um meio de comunicação e que deve ser julgada exclusivamente como tal. Respeitadas algumas regras básicas da Gramática, para evitar os vexames mais gritantes, as outras são dispensáveis. A sintaxe é uma questão de uso, não de princípios. Escrever bem é escrever claro, não necessariamente certo. Por exemplo: dizer “escrever claro” não é certo, mas é claro, certo? O importante é comunicar. (E quando possível surpreender, iluminar, divertir, mover… Mas aí entramos na área do talento, que também não tem nada a ver com Gramática.) A Gramática é o esqueleto da língua. [...] É o esqueleto que nos traz de pé, mas ele não informa nada, como a Gramática é a estrutura da língua, mas sozinha não diz nada, não tem futuro. As múmias conversam entre si em Gramática pura.

Claro que eu não disse isso tudo para meus entrevistadores. E adverti que minha implicância com a Gramática na certa se devia à minha pouca intimidade com ela. Sempre fui péssimo em Português.

A linguagem
na ponta da língua,
tão fácil de falar
e de entender.
A linguagem
na superfície estrelada de letras,
sabe lá o que ela quer dizer?
Professor Carlos Góis, ele é quem sabe,
e vai desmatando
o amazonas de minha ignorância.
Figuras de gramática, equipáticas,
atropelam-me, aturdem-me, sequestram-me.
Já esqueci a língua em que comia,
em que pedia para ir lá fora,
em que levava e dava pontapé,
a língua, breve língua entrecortada
do namoro com a prima.
O português são dois; o outro, mistério.

O gigolô das palavras

Quatro ou cinco grupos diferentes de alunos do Farroupilha estiveram lá em casa numa mesma missão, designada por seu professor de Português: saber se eu considerava o estudo da Gramática indispensável para aprender e usar a nossa ou qualquer outra língua. Suspeitei de saída que o tal professor lia esta coluna, se descabelava diariamente com suas afrontas às leis da língua, e aproveitava aquela oportunidade para me desmascarar. Já estava até preparando, às pressas, minha defesa (“Culpa da revisão! Culpa da revisão!”). Mas os alunos desfizeram o equívoco antes que ele se criasse. Eles mesmos tinham escolhido os nomes a serem entrevistados. Vocês têm certeza que não pegaram o Veríssimo errado? Não. Então vamos em frente.

Respondi que a linguagem, qualquer linguagem, é um meio de comunicação e que deve ser julgada exclusivamente como tal. Respeitadas algumas regras básicas da Gramática, para evitar os vexames mais gritantes, as outras são dispensáveis. A sintaxe é uma questão de uso, não de princípios. Escrever bem é escrever claro, não necessariamente certo. Por exemplo: dizer “escrever claro” não é certo, mas é claro, certo? O importante é comunicar. (E quando possível surpreender, iluminar, divertir, mover… Mas aí entramos na área do talento, que também não tem nada a ver com Gramática.) A Gramática é o esqueleto da língua. [...] É o esqueleto que nos traz de pé, mas ele não informa nada, como a Gramática é a estrutura da língua, mas sozinha não diz nada, não tem futuro. As múmias conversam entre si em Gramática pura.

Claro que eu não disse isso tudo para meus entrevistadores. E adverti que minha implicância com a Gramática na certa se devia à minha pouca intimidade com ela. Sempre fui péssimo em Português. Mas – isso eu disse – vejam vocês, a intimidade com a Gramática é tão dispensável que eu ganho a vida escrevendo, apesar da minha total inocência na matéria. Sou um gigolô das palavras. Vivo às suas custas. E tenho com elas exemplar conduta de um cáften profissional. Abuso delas. Só uso as que eu conheço, as desconhecidas são perigosas e potencialmente traiçoeiras. Exijo submissão.
