Petroleum Geologist
Petroleum geologists
look at the structural and
sedimentary aspects of
the stratum / strata to
identify possible oil
traps. Petroleum
geologists make the
decision on where
drilling occurs.
39
Reservoir Engineers
Reservoir engineers work to
optimize production of oil and
gas via proper well placement,
production levels, and
enhanced oil recovery
techniques
Develop, control and operate
petroleum reservoirs for
maximum recovery of oil & gas

Drilling Engineers
Drilling engineers manage the
technical aspects of drilling both
production and injection wells.
Select equipment & material for a
drilling rig
Prepare cost estimates for drilling
wells
Supervise drilling operations

Cementing Engineer
Responsible for specialized
cementing operations
Cementing is performed by
circulating a cement slurry
through the inside of the
casing and out into the
annulus through the casing
shoe at the bottom of the
casing string.
