Did you ever think about being a Geophysicist when you grew up? How about a Reservoir Engineer? Chances are you probably do not know too much about these careers. However, you may find that one of these careers could be right for you!
Geophysicists | Geologists | Production Engineers | Reservoir Engineers | Drilling Engineers | Chemical Engineers
Individuals with chemical engineering expertise can play many different roles in the oil and natural gas industry. They may work with facility or safety engineers in designing and operating natural gas processing plants or other field facilities. They help production engineers determine how to keep well bores free from contaminants and control subsurface microbes that could create unpleasant by-products.
Many chemical engineers are engaged in research — to develop a better drilling fluid, to improve carrying agents so treatment chemicals can travel further into the reservoir, to devise new ways to control treatment of wastes and emissions to improve environmental performance, to more efficiently remove impurities from natural gas, or many other technical challenges.
