petroleum engineers
Drill site designers
Petroleum engineers design and develop methods for extracting oil and natural gas from underground deposits.
They work on drilling operations, evaluate reservoir potential, and optimize production from existing wells.
The field combines geology, chemistry, and mechanical engineering to solve problems of locating and recovering fossil fuels: Petroleum engineers are developing new techniques for offshore drilling.
