Mr. Payne,

You are right–ME/ChemE can easily be hired as a drilling or production engineer. These positions are often associated with PetroE majors and they do get paid accordingly.

When I mean ME/ChemE/EE I should of been more specific, if you are a Facilities Engineer (someone who isn’t drilling, reservoir or production) they usually get paid the same amount.
