Oil and gas occur in the tiny spaces between grains of rock, often three to four kilometres below the surface of the earth or sea floor. Have you ever thought about the problem of figuring out where it is, how much is there, how to get it out and what its worth? This is the job of a petroleum engineer. Petroleum engineers earn a fantastic income, travel the world, and work on interesting, multi-million dollar projects. They use leading-edge technology, such as computer simulations and 3D virtual reality, to solve the many challenges of getting natural resources out of the earth.
