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
Closely related to geology and often working closely with geologists, geophysicists use the principles of physics, mathematics, and chemistry to study not only the earth's surface, but its internal composition, ground and surface waters, atmosphere, oceans, and magnetic, electrical, and gravitational forces.
Geophysicists have been at the forefront of one of the biggest technical advances of the last decade. 3D seismic uses advanced computer modeling to develop three-dimensional models of the subsurface that have significantly enhanced the industry's ability to locate more precisely additional oil and gas deposits. 3D seismic models are sometimes viewed in huge visualization theaters that make it seem as if you are "stepping into" a subsurface reservoir.
