as an upstream end of the energy sector.t is an increasingly technical profession that involves procuring reserves
from places that predecessors deemed too difficult or not economic with the technology of the day or commodity
prices. The use of high technology equipment, high speed computers, innovative materials, team management philosophies,
statistics, probability analysis, and knowledge management, is usually coupled with the reality of only indirect measurement
of most essential facts due to being buried under miles of earth. As such engineers must sometimes develop new
techiques from one source to another, and one look at the number of patents held for use in the industry is
testimony to the highly technical nature of this field.
