Gas

Gas Engineers work in the exploration, recovery, development and processing of natural gas reserves. Gas Engineers are involved in such things as determining the best location for drilling new wells, operating gas facilities, and monitoring and forecasting reservoir performance.

Examples: 

Gas Engineers plan and manage the recovery of gas from various reservoirs.

A gas engineer may:

  • Look at ways to minimize leaks in natural gas pipelines
  • Research methods for developing gas from corn for markets in Canada and the US
  • Evaluate the worth of new natural gas reserves
In your community: 

A number of Aboriginal communities lie near existing or untapped oil and gas reserves. As land claims settlements are reached, the communities in the areas will require the expertise of gas engineers in order to evaluate how to work the reserves.
