Math and Science

An interest in math and science can lead you to a great career in the oil and gas industry. Geoscientists explore to locate oil and gas reserves, and engineers help find those reserves and build the systems and facilities to develop the resources. Others negotiate use of the land and help safeguard the environment.

Engineer:  Do you like math? Do you like to build things?

Some engineers design well systems to get oil and gas out of the ground. Others design, construct and operate facilities - from offshore drilling rigs, to refineries to service stations.

Consider studying:
Petroleum and Chemical engineers (Corporate, Exploration and Production) Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical and Civil engineers (Refining, Marketing and Transportation)


Land Professional:  Do you get along with different kinds of people?
Do you like to travel? 

Land professionals negotiate with land owners to lease the rights to drill on their property.

Geoscientist: :  Are you curious about the earth? Can you think in 3D?                                 

Geoscientists study the earth to find the oil and gas we produce around the world.                

Consider studying:
Geology or Geophysics


Health, Environment & Safety(HES): Are you concerned about the environment?

HES professionals guide efforts to protect the environment and keep both people and operations safe.
