As A Career

Role of Petroleum Engineer
38
Petroleum Geologist
• Petroleum geologists
look at the structural and
sedimentary aspects of
the stratum / strata to
identify possible oil
traps. Petroleum
geologists make the
decision on where
drilling occurs.
39
Reservoir Engineers
• Reservoir engineers work to
optimize production of oil and
gas via proper well placement,
production levels, and
enhanced oil recovery
techniques
40
Reservoir Engineers
• Reservoir engineers work to
optimize production of oil
and gas via proper well
placement, production
levels, and enhanced oil
recovery techniques
41
Drilling Engineers
• Drilling engineers manage the
technical aspects of drilling both
production and injection wells.
42
MWD/LWD & Logging Engineer
• Measure and
record well
variables, for
reservoir
characterization.
43
Cementing Engineer
• Responsible for specialized
cementing operations
• Cementing is performed by
circulating a cement slurry
through the inside of the
casing and out into the
annulus through the casing
shoe at the bottom of the
casing string.
44
Drilling Fluids Engineer
• Mud engineer (correctly called a
Drilling Fluids Engineer, but
sometimes referred to as the "Mud
Man", though women also do this
job today) works on an oil well
drilling rig, and is responsible for
the drilling fluid, also known as
drilling mud which lubricates the
drill bit and clears cuttings from the
borehole.
45
Completion & Workover Engineers
• Design & supervise
the installation of
equipment needed
to transport oil &
gas from the
reservoir to the
surface.
46
Production Engineers
• Production engineers
manage the interface
between the reservoir and
the well
– including perforations, sand
control, artificial lift,
downhole flow control, and
downhole monitoring
equipment
• Responsible for optimizing
gas & oil rates for the well

Energy Policy
What's constant in Energy?
• These taxes would apply to companies
involved mainly in the Production and Refining
Business of Petroleum and Petroleum
products. There have been no changes made
to the following:
– Petroleum Profits Tax rate of 50% on profits
from Land and Shallow Water Blocks.
– Unemployment Levy rate of 5%.
– Petroleum Profits Tax rate of 35% on profits
from Deep Water Blocks.
77
What's new under taxes?
From January 1, 2014:
• Under the Supplemental Petroleum Tax regime, an
Investment Tax credit took effect from January 1, 2011,
which allowed companies to claim 20% of expenditure
on development activity for mature fields and
enhanced oil recovery projects as a credit against their
Supplemental Petroleum Tax liability.
• This credit was only available for use in the financial
year within which the expense was incurred; however,
any unused credits would now be allowed to be carried
forward for one year.
78
What's new for Exploration?
• The existing initial and annual allowances would
be replaced by a new allowance of 100% of
exploration costs to be written off in the year the
expenditure is incurred.
• This allowance would be applicable over the
period 2014 to 2017.
• From 2018, the allowance would be amended to
provide for write off of 50% of the exploration
costs in the first year of expenditure, 30% in the
second year and 20% in the third year.
79
What's new for Development?
• The existing initial and annual allowances
would be replaced by a new allowance of 50%
of costs in the first year of expenditure, 30% in
the second year and 20% in the third year.
• This allowance would be applicable to both
plant and machinery and the drilling of wells.
