Geologist (Oil)
An Oil Geologist studies subsurface rock formations to locate and evaluate petroleum and natural gas deposits. They analyze seismic data, well logs, and core samples to identify drilling targets and assess reservoir potential. Working closely with engineers and geophysicists, they guide exploration and production decisions that drive energy development. This role demands strong analytical skills, fieldwork experience, and proficiency with geological software.
