Using the information received from the survey phase, exploratory wells become drilled at the potential oil and gas field. There's an enormous demand for petroleum engineers and geoscientists worldwide as well as for the 'blue collar' workers who get their hands dirty doing drilling jobs and working on the pipelines and in refineries. There are abundant jobs in the oil and gas exploration under the following categories---

Geophysicist Jobs - Geophysicists, also called geo scientists, are professionals erudite in geology, physics, mathematics, or chemistry. They study the Earth’s internal and external composition, in order to explore oil and gas.

Palynologist Jobs - Palynologists study microscopic and organic evidence dating back even a billion years.

Oil Drilling Engineer Jobs - Drilling engineers devise and design strategies for drilling an oil-well as economically and conveniently as possible.

Production Engineer Jobs - Production engineers start their works after a well is completed. They are responsible for determining the easiest and best way to bring out the petroleum to the surface.

Oil Reservoir Engineer Jobs - Reservoir engineers use extremely complex computer models and mathematical formulae to work out the reservoir pressures.

Oil Facility Engineer Jobs - Facilities engineers are responsible for separating, processing and transporting safely the petroleum after it reaches the surface.

Energy Economists Jobs - Energy economists deal with risk assessment and profit evaluations.
