Professional disciplines within a subsurface team.[1] Table on page 6 of [1].
| Job title | Job description |
|---|---|
| Subsurface manager | Manages and coordinates the work of everyone in the subsurface team. |
| Production geologist | Responsible for understanding and modeling the geological framework of the reservoir. Helps to identify and plan new well locations. |
| Geophysicist | Spends much of his/her time interpreting seismic data to define the reservoir structure and fault distribution. Where the seismic data allow, depositional environment, rock, and fluid properties can also be characterized. |
| Petrophysicist | A key task is to analyze wireline logs to quantify the rock and fluid properties of the reservoir at the well scale. |
| Technical assistant | Provides technical support to the team. This includes data management, data preparation, and computer mapping. |
| Reservoir engineer | Predicts how much oil and gas a field is likely to produce, and may use a computer simulation of reservoir performance to analyze how the field will behave as well as taking a lead in reservoir management activities. |
| Production engineer | Responsible for optimizing all the mechanical aspects of hydrocarbon production from the wellbore to the surface facilities. |
| Production chemist | Analyzes and treats problems related to scale formation, metal corrosion, drilling fluids, wax formation, and solids precipitation between the reservoir and the surface facilities. |
| Drilling engineer (Well engineer) | Plans the mechanical aspects of any well operations including drilling new wells. |
| Economist | Costs and evaluates any economic activity relevant to the subsurface. |
