description: "Occupational skill for the role 'petroleum engineer' (also: petroleum geologist, petroleum production technician, reservoir engineer, oil and gas engineer, petroleum engineers, gas engineer). Use when the user asks for typical petroleum engineer work such as: Assess costs and estimate the production capabilities and economic value of oil and gas wells, to evaluate the economic viability of potential drilling sites.; Monitor production rates, and plan rework processes to improve production.; Analyze data to recommend placement of wells and supplementary processes to enhance production."

# Petroleum Engineer
|
|
|
|
Petroleum engineers evaluate gas and oil fields. They design and develop methods for extracting oil and gas from underneath the earth's surface. They maximise the recovery of hydrocarbon at a minimum cost, pursuing minimal impact on the environment.
|
|
|
|
## Core workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Assess costs and estimate the production capabilities and economic value of oil and gas wells, to evaluate the economic viability of potential drilling sites.
|
|
2. Monitor production rates, and plan rework processes to improve production.
|
|
3. Analyze data to recommend placement of wells and supplementary processes to enhance production.
|
|
4. Specify and supervise well modification and stimulation programs to maximize oil and gas recovery.
|
|
5. Direct and monitor the completion and evaluation of wells, well testing, or well surveys.
|
|
6. Assist engineering and other personnel to solve operating problems.
|
|
7. Develop plans for oil and gas field drilling, and for product recovery and treatment.
|
|
8. Maintain records of drilling and production operations.
