What is a Petroleum Engineer? • We meet the world's energy
needs • We provide the ingredients
for modern life • We help reduce greenhouse
gas emissions • We are at the forefront of
new technology • We are paid well and work all
over the world.
What does a Petroleum Engineer do?
Exploration Working with geologists, geophysicists and other geoscientists to seek out new oil & gas, geothermal energy and CO2 storage reservoirs
Reservoir Engineering Determining the size of the oil & gas discoveries and design production process Developing complex simulations of the behaviour of oil & gas fields.
Drilling Engineering Designing and managing the drilling of wells to access the discoveries; Using special tools to take samples and measure the properties of rocks deep under the earth.
Production Engineering Designing the processes for producing oil & gas resources and overseeing their smooth, safe and economical operation.
Petroleum Engineers are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
50% – 67% reduction
80% – 90% reduction
90% – 100% reduction
Petroleum Engineers are well paid and work all over the world

... there has been an age and experience gap in the oil and gas industry for quite some time now. Some of the previous price busts resulted in a brain drain… This has created the need to find good replacements and get them up to speed rather quickly. We are yet to fill this gap.
