Engineering...From Exploration to Production and Beyond

What do engineers do exactly? They explore, design, compute, create, produce, refine, and innovate—just to name a few things.

 

Many different types of engineers work in the energy field. Engineers may work at refineries, chemical plants, office buildings, remote field sites, or on offshore platforms. They may even have the opportunity to experience working in different regions of the world! All are crucial to keeping our world energized, while minimizing the environmental impacts of energy production. But each type of engineer has a distinctly different job. Three types of engineers that are involved in the energy production process are: petroleum engineers, chemical engineers, and mechanical engineers.
