An engineer that always sit in the office, is just a standard village hero that can only talk following what a book says.
Any job related for O&G, for better future and security, still working in the field are better.

subsurface team (geologist, geophysicist, petrophysicist, reservoir eng etc) station in office most of their time. hydrocarbon does not come out to the surface without having them. what the hell is oil coming from?? they play vital role in o&g business.

Learn from field are better, atleast the skill is yours.
Well, without them, people can still discover oil. So don't talk like without them, nobody can drill oil out.
What type of IT system? They only need old school system to show them the flow, temperature and pressure. Do they need Windows 8 for tat?

Ya. Pls drill wherever place you like smile.gif

Totally agree with you. Working in the office does not mean someone is stupid or less important compared to working out in the field. In Oil and Gas business it is all about collaboration and harnessing the knowledge of people from different functions.

People in the field know best to execute work. People in the office have their unique role to plan and strategize.

Geologist and reservoir engineers are first to build the plan to produce oil.

Agreed. It is all about integration of knowledge, skills and experiences across all disciplines be it client, contractor, fabricator, vendor, service company consultant and etc, upstream and downstream, subsurface, surface, office and field.

Engineer in office might not good to know how people in field doing installation, commissioning, maintenance works for example servicing rotor or whatever of the pumps, procedure to install and start up the pumps step by step. But maybe they good in design the pumps, determine type of pumps to be used (centrifugal, reciprocal, submersible, positive placement pumps??),calculate pump head, pumps control philosophy, pumps capacity considering overall plant requirement and arrangement, interfacing with piping, material, design and code of standard, environment and safety ??
I am not expecting all the people who do maintenance works in field, replace the pipe, flange, gasket, do insulation and etc to know how to calculate pressure loss across the pipe, pipe thickness and etc?

Well, this is very diverse industry. There are many areas to discover and learn.
