Oil and gas have long played an important role in world history and are now well below the world’s most important resources. The oil and gas industry has come along way from the original discovery of underground oil deposits in salt wells by the Chinese in around 500BC and the establishment of the first commercial refinery in Romania in the mid-19th Century.
Today we see an impact a global multi-billion dollar industry, a more or less in almost every facet of life in the 21st Century. As usual, pointed out in the business and mainstream media, the industry plays a crucial role in driving the global economy. Petroleum is used as a source for many products, in addition to simultaneously serve the world’s primary energy source gas of the fastest growing energy source with consumption rising by almost 70 percent by 2025.
The processes and systems in production and distribution of petroleum and natural gas involved are highly complex, capital intensive and require state-of-the-art technology. These systems also require a wide range of expertise in an incredible variety of workplaces across the planet used to ensure the continued success. Oil and Gas Jobs Search offer a huge range of fascinating roles including positions in exploration, drilling and extraction, transport and storage, mechanical, electrical and engineering. As the industry’s broad scope, the list of the different positions available almost endless, but includes a few titles:
? Engineering Geologist
? Environmental manager
? Geoscientists
? Mudlogger
? Petroleum Engineer
? Wellsite geologist
? Cartographer
? Drilling Engineer
? Health and safety consultants
? Computer scientist
? Market researcher (qualitative / quantitative)
? Statistician
? Systems / Business Analyst
? Trader (equities, currencies, futures, bonds)
? Training and development officer / manager.
Let’s look more closely at a number of these roles.
Geoscientists creates: the basis for the discovery of exploitable reserves of natural resources such as oil and gas, a geoscientist interprets geophysical, geochemical and geological data to develop models of the Earth’s surface to surface. Not only are they in the exploration and evaluation of new areas, feasibility studies and development planning, but also in optimizing the manufacturing recovery field. Job titles such as geophysicists, geochemists and Sedimentologists also be used for specific tasks within geosciences.
Engineering geologist: Offer detailed technical analysis and broad scientific impact site. They judge the integrity of the natural conditions prior to major construction schemes and advise on the necessary procedure and appropriate building materials.
A Mudlogger (or logging geologist or geologist Mudlogging) collects and monitors information from drilling operations, such as drilling data, including speed, penetration rate, pump rate, cutting speed, mud flow.
Production / Operations Manager for the efficiency, quality, pricing and control of industrial processes. An important part of a production manager job is the coordination and cooperation with other professionals such as construction engineers, project managers and engineers, professionals commissioning, maintenance, mechanical and electrical engineers as well as pipeline and drilling experts.
The oil and gas industry is really a “something for everyone” type of industry: a huge industry with a wide reach and broad range of possibilities.
