Technical Sales Representative for Real-Time Drilling Fluid Management
Integrated Drilling Fluids • Solids Control • Patent‑Backed Real‑Time Diagnostics
Position Summary NPTLabs is seeking a high-caliber Technical Sales Representative to drive adoption of our patent-protected real-time
diagnostic workflows
, integrated drilling-fluid programs, and solids-control optimization services. This hybrid role blends commercial leadership with hands-on engineering, enabling operators to transition from reactive solids management to data-driven
, preventative field control
.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in the rig environment, the operator’s office, and the boardroom — capable of translating
proprietary PSD/XRF insights
, patented workflows, and operational improvements into measurable commercial value for the operator. Key Responsibilities Commercial & Technical Sales Develop and execute sales strategies for NPTLabs’ integrated drilling fluid, solids control, and real-time diagnostic offerings. Position and communicate the value of
patent-backed workflows
, emphasizing exclusivity, cost avoidance, and operational control. Lead technical presentations, performance reviews, and ROI‑based proposals for drilling engineers, superintendents, and executive teams. Expand market share by introducing operators to NPTLabs’ preventative, measurement-driven field management model. Support contract negotiations, pricing structures, and long-term service agreements. Drilling Fluid Engineering Provide when required remote engineering support for drilling fluid systems, ensuring compliance with operator specifications and NPTLabs’ performance standards. Monitor when required rheology, LGS trends, and dilution strategies using
real‑time diagnostic data
. Troubleshoot fluid-related issues and implement corrective actions aligned with patented workflows. Collaborate with operator, rig crews, mud suppliers, and solids control personnel to maintain system integrity. Solids Control Optimization Oversee shaker, centrifuge, and cuttings dryer performance with a focus on
LGS prevention
, not post‑event correction. Assist in applying PSD and XRF data to guide equipment settings, screen selection, and dilution decisions. Evaluate solids removal efficiency and recommend adjustments that reduce non‑productive dilution and protect fluid properties. Document and communicate solids control performance using NPTLabs’ proprietary reporting formats. Real‑Time Diagnostics & Patented Workflows Interpret
NPTLabs’ patented PSD/XRF diagnostic tools
to quantify solids loading, elemental composition, and system trends for the operator. Convert diagnostic data into actionable recommendations that reduce cost, improve drilling performance, and prevent fluid degradation. Support deployment of new diagnostic technologies and digital reporting systems. Qualifications Degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Geology, or related field (preferred). 5+ years of experience in management of drilling fluids, solids control, and or oilfield technical sales. Demonstrated success in customer-facing engineering or technical sales roles. Strong understanding of drilling fluid rheology, LGS management, and solids control equipment. Ability to understand and use PSD, XRF, or other analytical diagnostic tools. Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills. Ability to travel to rig sites and operator offices.
