Oil & gas projects move through a disciplined sequence of technical, commercial, and regulatory gates. This guide walks you from the first geological idea to steady-state production—highlighting key decisions, documents, risks, and how EPC/O&M partners like Geigerpipe help at each stage. 1) Basin Screening & Access Goal: Identify prospective areas and secure the right to […]
Oil & gas work is demanding, disciplined, and deeply team-oriented. To show what it’s really like, we’ve stitched together a typical shift from the perspectives of two core roles—Production Technician and Drilling/Floorhand—plus how safety, wellbeing, and career growth fit into everyday life on the rig. Note: Schedules vary by asset and region (offshore vs […]
Stage 0: Access, Licences & Stakeholders Before technical work begins, operators secure exploration rights, align with regulators and communities, and establish the project governance framework. Success looks like: Clear licence terms, stakeholder map, environmental baseline, and a risk register. Stage 1: Exploration (Geology, Geophysics & Seismic) Geoscientists screen basins, acquire 2D/3D seismic, and interpret subsurface […]
Why build a career in oil & gas? Energy demand is evolving, not disappearing. Oil & gas remains a core part of the global energy mix and will do so for decades, alongside rapid growth in gas, LNG, and lower-carbon solutions. The sector offers world-class training, clear technical progression, and international project exposure—from greenfield construction […]
