    Great video Yoshi. These are relevant for most professionals, not just our industry (with the exception of the Unconventionals one!) I have one add, and knowing me, I bet you can guess what it is. Get involved in your professional society from day one and seek any leadership positions you can get as early as possible. You have to work your way up, so just start anywhere. The Society of Petroleum Engineers has been pivotal in all my career advancements. It’s opened my eyes to so many different perspectives and skills, and it’s responsible for so many lifelong friendships. Just go for it!

    hi , I'm glad to bump into your video since planning to take this path as my career choice . I live in South Africa and I'm wondering what could I research on to be sure that i wont be a stay at home postgraduate . My main concern is being employed in this profession since I'm a South African citizen. Thank you for reading this comment.

    Know this above all else: oil and gas is highly cyclic. That high salary is high because it comes with risk attached. Expect the industry to expand and contract repeatedly throughout your career. When the petroleum industry contracts they don’t cut salaries, they do layoffs. Your new salary at your next company will reflect extant market realities for that company. When the industry expands, people find the jobs that pay the most for their skills. Loyalty is largely a myth but this is true in any industry. I have witnessed countless expansions and contractions through my 33 years as student and practicing petroleum engineer. Sometimes I’ve chosen to chnage jobs and sometimes the choice was made for me. It’s a part of this industry that we all must be prepared for.

    Hey 👋🏼 So I’m currently working on my B.S. in Petroleum Engineering at UT at Austin. I’m 83% complete. My question is as someone fresh out of college would it be better to seek entry level positions since experience is kinda zero? I think this would shrink down the number of positions one should apply for in other words simplify the job search. Thanks

    Energy aside we still need oil for things like plastic and many of the fluids in vehicles (even electric ones). Oil isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and even if somehow it does, other countries will still be using oil.

    Petroleum is not going away. Wind and solar cannot displace petroleum because they aren’t scaleable or reliable or cheap enough (barring some literally revolutionary new battery technology). Thing is, night happens every day. Every solar cell on the planet drops to zero output at night. Wind also drops to zero randomly, often when it’s needed most. You can’t stop night and you can’t stop weather. Since elctrical demand is generated instantly when it is needed, every watt of wind and solar power MUST be backed up by at least one watt of reliable, always-available generation (more than 1 to account for downtime and redundancy). This could be fossil or nuke gen but it needs to be fully developed and instantly available. This is the hidden truth about renewables - there is a high cost for that unreliability.

    Is a good program but it is useless when you can't find a job as petroleum engineer after graduation. It's being 5 years of my graduation, I graduated from UND in 2018 with bachelor in petroleum engineering, we are now in 2023 and still couldn't find a job as a petroleum engineer or a job in the oil and gas company, likewise with all my course mates. The oil and gas companies would rather hired those with mechanical and chemical engineering degree and use them as petroleum engineers. There is a high unemployment rate in petroleum engineering job and it is difficult to transit or get into another industry outside of oil and gas with a petroleum engineering degree.
