<p>I realize that this is primarily a man's job, but I would think that the companies would love to hit an equal opportunity quota. I am personally trying to get a job doing this because the money is really good.</p>

I really don't know how many women work in the Marcellus, specifically. I do know there are significantly more women in oil and gas operations and engineering than when I started with Dowell Schlumberger in 1986. I have worked as a field supervisor on rigs doing stimulation, cementing and well logging in addition to building pipelines. In my opinion, the upstream work is more physically demanding and more difficult to juggle with children. In fact, I switched over to midstream (pipelines &…
I really don't know how many women work in the Marcellus, specifically. I do know there are significantly more women in oil and gas operations and engineering than when I started with Dowell Schlumberger in 1986. I have worked as a field supervisor on rigs doing stimulation, cementing and well logging in addition to building pipelines. In my opinion, the upstream work is more physically demanding and more difficult to juggle with children. In fact, I switched over to midstream (pipelines & gas processing) just for that reason. Okay, that being said, I currently have an office job, because I have been in oil and gas for a long time.<br />
<br />
However, the most positive thing I have seen over the last 25 years is the acceptance of females working in oil and gas. Most successful women who choose to work in this field, know we will be in the minority, can get along with about anyone, and like to be challenged to learn news things, but most importantly are adaptable.<br />

90% of the jobs that are available and the NG companies are looking for people are posted on <a href="http://www.marchellusshalejobs.com">www.marchellusshalejobs.com</a> ..Though once there you should have a resume at the Unemployment office they can view via computer..We've been very successful that way.

Julie, if you have not done so already, check out the job portal at marcelluscoalition.org. To my knowledge looks like the best site for Marcellus Shale contacts and jobs, many of the companies identified as members of the coalition are hiring. With effort, I'm sure there is something for you.<br />
