you can study petroleum engineering

NO need to study petroleum engineer to became a drilling engineer...you just need strong skills in math, chemistry, mechanics..... drilling companies such schlumberger, halliburton or Baker have an extensive trainning for fresh engineers, no matter the degree.

it depend where are you from .. every country has its own rule some countries u must be a petroleum engineer graduate other countries u can be any other enginner and u take courses but haliburton and shulm... etc dont make u a drilling engineer they are service companies u have to work in a owner company to be a drilling engineer or a company man
