Career Path
Petroleum engineers play a crucial role in exploring, extracting, and producing oil and gas resources. They design and develop methods for extracting oil and gas from onshore and offshore reserves. 2. **Geoscientist (20%)**
Geoscientists study the Earth's structure, composition, and processes to locate natural resources, including oil and gas reserves. They analyze geological data and create maps, charts, and cross-sections to help visualize the subsurface. 3. **Reservoir Engineer (15%)**
Reservoir engineers focus on estimating the amount of oil and gas that can be recovered from a reservoir and developing methods to maximize extraction. They use advanced mathematical models and simulation software to predict reservoir performance. 4. **Drilling Engineer (5%)**
Drilling engineers are responsible for designing, planning, and executing drilling operations to extract oil and gas from reservoirs. They ensure the safe and efficient drilling of wells by selecting appropriate equipment, managing drilling fluids, and monitoring drilling operations.
