Oil and gas engineers work in a variety of areas associated with hydrocarbon exploration and extraction. Typically, an oil and gas engineer specialises in one area (i.e., development, production or reservoir management) but needs to be mindful of the entire process. You will develop a strong knowledge of the full value chain and alternative fuels.
