Oilman
The people who extract oil are called oilmen... Oil is a natural resource, it is of great benefit to mankind and has been used by it for many thousands of years. With its help, we receive light and warmth. Oil drives cars, tractors, airplanes and ships. It is used to produce fuel for engines and paraffin, from which candles are made. Did you know that the asphalt used to cover the roads is also obtained from oil!
What is oil and how did it come about? This word came to us from Latin and means "stone oil". Scientists believe that the oil was formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived many years ago in the warm waters of the oceans that covered the earth's surface.
In ancient times, doctors used oil as a medicine. It also served to illuminate the streets: after all, there was no electricity then and the cities were illuminated with the help of burning torches, which were soaked in oil.
The oil worker is a very honorable and responsible profession. Day and night, with the help of special devices called oil rigs, oil workers extract oil deep from the ground for you and me, so that buses and cars work, so that the houses are light and warm.
His job is not easy -
Oil is extracted from the ground.
Without oil we, I know for sure
They couldn't even take a step.
Petrol is made from oil
For motorcycles and cars,
They make roads out of oil
Where our feet step.
One of the most valuable minerals and commodities in the world today is oil. It is a tool of geopolitics, wars are fought over it, it revives the economy of any state. Oil today is called black gold and people extract this resource different professions, which are united under a common name - oilmen. This is the name given to oil field workers from engineer to driller assistant.
The primary responsibilities of a petroleum engineer include:
- search and development of new oil and gas fields;
- assessment of the potential of deposits;
- ecological restoration of the working area upon completion of drilling operations.
In the modern oil industry, the achievements of computer technology are actively used. The work of specialists is carried out both in the office and directly at the field. Thanks to the introduction of qualitatively new technologies into the work, the profession of an oil worker opens the doors to young specialists who get a chance to quickly move up the career ladder. In addition, the starting salary of an oil worker is much higher than that of some office workers.
To be successful in the oil industry, you need to be highly skilled.
In addition, the following requirements are put forward:
- for ordinary employees - secondary specialized, for managerial positions - higher education;
- experience in engineering and geological surveys;
- skills in using computer-aided design systems (AutoCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD);
- readiness for business trips and moving.
Today worthy alternative fossil energy sources do not exist. They will certainly appear in the future, but for now the profession of a petroleum engineer will be popular and attract young specialists to its ranks.
History of the profession
People knew about oil deposits in the earth for a long time, but did not use them. Often during excavations, archaeologists find some things and buildings, for the strengthening of which solidified oil bitumen was used. The black thick liquid, which poured out from under the ground and in places mixed with the water of the rivers, frightened with its unknown. Some peoples used oil for medicinal purposes. As a combustible material, petroleum products began to be used relatively recently, with the beginning of technical progress. Then the question arose of extracting this mineral from the bowels of the earth.
According to historical data, the world's first borehole for industrial mining oil was established in Pennsylvania. It was drilled by Edwin Drake, an unknown lone prospector. Perhaps this was the first oil worker. The profession was not so popular in those ancient times, no one knew the true size of the reserves of this mineral. And the researchers consider the Chumelov brothers to be the first oil refiner, who in 1745 built an enterprise for the production of kerosene and lubricating oils on the banks of the Ukhta River.
The social significance of the profession in society
Most countries modern world depend on oil more than on the political situation in the country. Of course, an oilman who extracts a resource that is so necessary for the people is of great benefit to his fellow citizens. The need for specialists in this field depends on the region of the country and in general on the place on the world map. In our country, most of the oil deposits have already been discovered, but not all of the deposits are being developed. Therefore, it is not difficult for an oilman to find a job, but he must be ready to work away from home on a rotational basis.
Mass character and uniqueness of the profession
People in this profession should be inclined towards technical sciences, in good physical condition and be attentive. The oil worker must monitor pressure gauges, respond to pressure changes in time, own a power tool, and have a variety of other skills depending on his particular function in the field. A good specialist in this field has great prospects. Oil is good way earn, including for the employees of the field. In addition, a smart engineer and gas well designer can go to work overseas, where the world's oil giants pay lavishly experienced specialists.
Professional quality
As seen from the above brief description the process of oil production and refining, specialists of any link must have a high level of qualifications, good education and at least basic knowledge of professional software... The higher the proposed wage, the more serious the requirements for the applicant.
So, among the requirements are:
- professional education... For workers - secondary specialized, for engineering and scientific personnel - higher.
- at least a minimum work experience in the specialty, experience in conducting geological exploration and prospecting work.
- high level computer use, knowledge of geological modeling programs, AutoCAD, etc.
- knowledge of technical of English language at a level sufficient for understanding the documentation and literature in the specialty.
- readiness for business trips, living and working in the field.
To applicants for leadership positions increased requirements are imposed, for example, experience in organizing geological parties, experience in non-standard conditions, in-depth knowledge of specialized software, the ability to make decisions quickly and clearly, strategic planning skills, and much more. Naturally, the responsibility of a manager is much higher than that of an ordinary oil worker, which is reflected in his salary.
Advantages of the profession of an oilman
At the moment, all of these specialties are very popular in Russia. And, above all, thanks to the high pay. The oil industry has the highest wages. They are the most powerful incentive when choosing the profession of a geologist, geophysicist or driller.
In addition, this industry provides a large number of benefits and additional bonuses: various additional payments and financial incentives, rest and travel on vacation at the expense of enterprises, early retirement (if the deposits are located in areas equated to the Far North), etc.
The prestige and relevance of the profession also play an important role. People employed in the oil industry are highly respected and honored. And competent specialists with special education are worth their weight in gold. And graduates of oil institutes always have excellent opportunities for a start in life and for building a career.
In a word, choosing this profession, the applicant will definitely not be left behind. In addition, he is guaranteed employment, a high salary and, with the ability and desire, a brilliant career.
Occupational risks
The oilman at the well is risking his life, as there have been cases of black gold burning right in the field. Some operations have to be performed at high altitudes, so the possibility of falls and injuries is possible. A significant disadvantage should also be considered the remoteness of the place of work from home and, in general, from settlements. A significant part of the employees in this industry generally work at sea, which entails even more dangers. But basically all this is compensated by decent wages.
Where to get a profession?
Petroleum engineers are trained at universities and institutes. The training of such a specialist takes 5 years, after which an internship will take place at the place of work. Workers such as a driller or rig and oil rig installer are trained in vocational schools and training centers oil production enterprises. Often, graduates receive the qualifications of an assistant or junior specialist and only after a few years of experience can they become an independent worker.
The leading Russian educational institution in the oil and gas production industry is the Russian State University oil and gas. THEM. Gubkin. Branches of the university operate in Orenburg, Ashgabat and Tashkent. The university is at the forefront of science, its graduates easily find prestigious job by specialty.
Ufa State Petroleum Technical University is one of the leaders in training personnel for the oil industry. University studies are directly related to both scientific research and with practical work in the field.
Other prestigious universities in the oil industry:
- Tyumen State Oil and Gas University
- Tomsk Polytechnic University
- Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M. V. Lomonosov "
- Ugra State University
- Institute of Oil and Gas Business (management training)
It is worth noting the joint master's program of Tomsk Polytechnic University and Scottish Heriot-Watt University. It includes training in two specialties - petroleum engineering and oil and gas geology. Most of the subjects are taught by Scottish teachers, thesis projects are defended before a commission from Edinburgh. Graduates receive an international diploma and have the opportunity to find employment in the world's leading oil companies.
Salary fork (in rubles)
One for residents of all regions, since work in any case takes place far from home and is paid very differently - from 35,000 (at the beginning of work) to 150,000 (with a high workload).
Here, for example, what one of the representatives of this specialty writes to his friend.
“An oil worker is my specialty in general, more specifically in Russian - tampon(from the word "tampon"). We have 12 hours a day with a rotational method, but sometimes we have to work longer, because the drilling rig will not stand: it is expensive. It is difficult when, after work, one has to go straight to the second, the third and carry the iron with me after work. Any healthy man who has a driver's license and a bag of sugar can lift and carry 200 meters can work with us - the rest still needs to be taught from scratch ... We work where there are drilling rigs and drilling is carried out, and this can be anywhere - and near cities, and in the dense taiga, where, as in a song, only a helicopter can fly - no TV, no mobile phones. In short, we live like bears sometimes. The watch usually lasts four weeks. If we work near the city, then five weeks.
At the drilling team of five people, they expose the equipment as needed, connect it with hoses and pipes to each other and to the drilling rig, and during the pumping process, cement is mixed with water in the unit, after which this solution is pumped into the well by high-pressure pumps. At the end of the injection, the unit and pipes are flushed from the cement. We collect pipes and hoses and go to the base or to another drilling rig.
We live on a working shift, depending on the project, either in a hotel or in a rented apartment (at the expense of the enterprise, of course), if in the taiga, then in a comfortable hostel.
At first, the salary is not very good, somewhere in the region of 25-30 thousand rubles (average earnings), after professional development it increases by 1.5-2 times.
Physical strength is needed, because in spite of all the means of mechanization, the parts of the high-pressure pipeline weighing up to 80 kg have to be installed and connected manually. "
As you can see, you can't drag a sissy and a lover of urban comfort to such work with any kind of earnings. But a brave, strong, dexterous connoisseur of taiga romance has something to look for there - both reliable friends, and life experiences, and satisfaction from creative work for real guys. Nevertheless, the difficulties and inconveniences of working in the fuel and energy complex are usually compensated not only by rather high and, most importantly, stable earnings, but also by earlier retirement, preferential sanatorium vouchers for the whole family, and extended vacations. Somewhere, fuel and energy companies provide their prospective employees with good office housing or provide a lucrative loan to buy an apartment (or build their own house). It is clear that such a gift must be earned, but it is still a big plus in terms of working in the fuel and energy complex.
Nowadays, the oil industry is growing at a fast pace, which also requires human resources. This means that oil workers will not face unemployment in the near future. The most demanded specialists in this field will be described below.
Geologist profession
A geologist searches for oil and gas deposits, a profession that has always been considered a romantic one, since the job of a geologist implies a constant presence in fresh air... But it's not that simple. Geologists work on a rotational basis for several weeks or months walking around the area, exploring rocks, drawing up maps and diagrams, and upon their return process the data. The average salary of a geologist is 40,000 rubles.
Geophysicist profession
Geophysicists are engaged in seismic exploration. The method of their work is based on the study of the propagation of waves in the earth's crust, which appeared as a result of an explosion or impact. By the nature of the oscillation and the time of propagation of geophysics, conclusions are drawn about the composition of rocks and the presence of minerals. Geophysicists are also involved in evaluating the reserves of the field. The average salary of a geophysicist is 50,000 rubles.

Oil as a mineral.
“Russia has a lot of wealth:
Mines, lakes and mountains
Steppes, forest tracts.
There are also open spaces of the sea,
Even if this is not a little modest,
Where would not roam the world
A huge reserve of oil -
Only Russia is warmed! "
There are almost all types of minerals in our country. Minerals are natural mineral formations in the earth's crust.
OIL is a flammable oily liquid , with a specific odor, sometimes almost black, very rarely colorless, widespread in the sedimentary shell of the Earth, is the most important mineral.
How did it come about? Scientists believe that it was formed from plants and animals that lived many years ago in warm waters oceans that covered the earth's surface.
Oil is a rock. We are accustomed to the fact that the rock is a solid substance of which the earth's crust consists and more deep bowels land. It turns out that there are liquid rocks, and even gaseous ones. One of the important properties of oil is its ability to burn. Industrial alcohol, paraffin, fuel, lubricating oils, technical fat, resins, asphalt and other products are obtained from oil.
Oil has been used by humans for thousands of years. In ancient times, the Chinese and Egyptians used it as a medicine. Long before our era in ancient india oil was used for lighting and as fuel.
In ancient times, oil was used for torches, it was added in the manufacture of bricks, it was used to coat baskets and ship bottoms so that they would not let water through.
What is oil made?
Crude oil is practically not used. It is purified and processed.
There is primary and secondary oil refining.
Primary oil refining is distillation, as a result of which oil products are separated into component parts (they are called fractions):
liquefied gas;
gasolines (automobile and aviation),
jet fuel,
kerosene,
diesel fuel (diesel fuel),
fuel oil.
The first five types of petroleum products are fuels. And fuel oil is processed to obtain:
paraffin,
bitumen,
liquid fuel oil,
oils.
When bitumen is mixed with minerals, asphalt (asphalt concrete) is obtained, which is used as a road surface.
Liquid fuel oil is used to heat houses.
A wide range of lubricants is produced from oil:
lubricating oil;
electrical insulating oil;
hydraulic oil;
plastic grease;
cutting fluid;
petrolatum.
Oils obtained from petroleum are used to prepare ointments and creams.
The concentrate remaining after the distillation of oil is called tar. It goes to road and building surfaces.
Secondary oil processing includes a change in the structure of its components - hydrocarbons. She gives the raw materials from which they get:
synthetic rubbers and rubbers;
synthetic fabrics;
plastics;
polymer films (polyethylene, polypropylene);
detergents;
solvents, paints and varnishes;
dyes;
fertilizers;
pesticide;
wax;
and much more.
Petroleum engineer is one of the most promising professions
According to Society of Petroleum Engineers to ensure peace the required amount 38% more petroleum engineers are required today and in the future.
For engineers, the oil industry has always been a favorable field of activity. Here you will find many different possibilities for realizing and developing your technical and personal qualities.
Petroleum engineers are involved in the search, development and operation of oil and gas fields, and they are also charged with the responsibility of restoring the territory after the completion of drilling operations. They are innovators using cutting edge technology to develop new oil discovery and well drilling techniques. There are many different majors in the petroleum engineer profession, but they all serve the same purpose - to provide the world with energy and to preserve environment for the next generations.
Some areas of specialization for petroleum engineers are: Drilling Engineer; process engineer; development engineer of oil and gas fields; environmental engineer; teacher / professor; consultant; government liaison officer; entrepreneur; supervisor.
The work of petroleum engineers is carried out both from the office, using special computer programs, and in the fields. In addition, they often travel to various parts of their country and the world, where they implement a wide variety of projects, one way or another related to their specialization.
Demand for new methods, technologies and sources of energy is constantly growing, and with it the demand for petroleum engineers. Many representatives of this profession will soon reach retirement age, which means that young specialists will have a chance for rapid career growth.
In the oil industry, a graduate of higher educational institution one of the highest starting salaries offered. Even aspiring petroleum engineers are often rewarded with lucrative positions and significant bonuses.
How much do oil workers get?
The oil industry in Russia firmly holds the second place in terms of wages after banking. The oil industry is not only interesting, it also pays well for it. By working in the oil industry, you will earn above average. The diagram below can give some idea of the order of salaries. But these figures are the average for the hospital. The spread, in fact, from region to region and from company to company is very large.
How impressed?
In fact, salaries in the oil industry are much lower. Ask any oil worker you know about it. The fact is that the data in the diagram does not reflect the salaries of the subsidiaries of large oil companies. Ordinary employees receive an order of magnitude less, but on a national scale, even their "relatively modest" income looks pretty decent.
Make money like an oil worker
Psychologists have identified one very interesting rule... Works ironically. Whatever one may say, but you cannot get away from him. A person earns as much as average earns his inner circle. If you want to earn money as an oilman - become an oilman! If you want to earn more - become an advanced oilman!
How to make a career as an oil worker?
Squeeze everything out of your capabilities !!!
How do people, in principle, make a career in any organization? Success in today's business culture is based on several principles that differ from conventional wisdom about fairness. Life, in general, is not a very fair thing.
The conventional wisdom, not without foundation, is: Connections are everything! The All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM) and HeadHunter conducted a joint study of the role of connections in building a career. We look at the results and, as they say, we shake it off.
According to the results of the study, connections helped in their careers only 24% of those surveyed. How did their connections help them? For most of them, connections helped to get a job on Good work... Only 11% said their connections helped them get promoted.
The main factors in building a successful career were named: quality professional training(37%) and hard work and a lot of patience .
Now a little about the qualities that should have oilman profession... This specialist must have a penchant for technical sciences. But some of the most important qualities are physical endurance and alertness. There are also many other skills, for example, possession of various kinds of tools and so on, but all this already depends on the specialization of the oilman. A good specialist I can even invite you to work abroad.
Working in a well, people of this profession are at constant risk to their lives. Oil can always ignite. Working at heights for an oilman is fraught with injury. And remoteness from the place of residence is the main disadvantage in this work. This mineral is often mined at sea, which is even more life-threatening.
Conclusion.
It must be said that I am aware that this topic has not been fully investigated by us. I am confident that in the future, while studying at the university, I will continue to study the oil industry.
The world will always need energy. Oil and gas are the most important sources of energy, the demand for which is growing. Meeting the growing demand for energy is a challenge for petroleum engineers.
It is the representatives of this profession that determine the future of humanity and, in fact, change the world. Therefore, those who choose to pursue a career in petroleum engineering today face a unique and exciting future. I hope I will not miss my chance!
Oil gives warmth and light -
There is simply no replacement for it.
They make a lot of oil:
And asphalt roads
And suits and shirts
Amazing cups!
Remember as a diesel locomotive
You were once taken to the sea ...
Oil was burning in its furnaces,
And without oil, what's the matter?
And it's not for nothing in our land,
Every oilman knows this,
They are looking forward to her
They call it black gold.
Petrol is made from oil
For motorcycles and cars,
They make roads out of oil
Where our feet step.
Many tons of black gold
They help us to work and live
Let its stock be bottomless!
You could deserve our love!
So simply the bowels of the oil will not give up,
You walk boldly on the planet,
So that there was plenty of kerosene, gasoline, fuel oil
Warm, so that it was old people and children!
Description of the profession
Oilman is a very broad concept, it includes whole line professions, from a worker in an oil field or an oil refinery to a top manager of a global corporation. Each specialty has its own requirements for candidates.
However, usually, when the term "oilman" is used in everyday life, they mean the geologist who explores and develops oil and gas fields (these minerals often accompany each other).
Field exploration is a complex process that includes the actual discovery of an oil field, its analysis in terms of the complexity and profitability of production, exploration and research work. The great complexity of exploration is due to the fact that each field is individual, and often it is necessary to use unique methods that require highly qualified oil geologist, the ability to work in difficult conditions and make quick and correct decisions.
The first stage of exploration is the search for deposits by external, indirect signs. Such signs can be oil films on water, direct oil release to the surface of the earth, traces of asphalt (purified oil oxidation) on cracks in the rock, the smell of its light fractions, etc.
V recent times High-tech methods of geological exploration are actively used, geophysical research methods, for example, seismographs in combination with directional explosions make it possible to study the shape, volume and location of oil reservoirs underground. After the initial determination of the location, support drilling is performed. A prospecting well can be up to several kilometers; the extracted core is examined different methods, which show the composition and quality of oil from this field, the prospects for its further commercial use.
This is followed by direct oil production, which is produced by drilling wells. Drilling can be rotary and percussion. In the wells, oil is under high pressure therefore, it gushes out of the wells by itself. Over time, the pressure drops; for further oil production, water or gas (or both) is pumped into the formation to push it to the surface.
One field can operate hundreds of wells of different functionality - drilling, research, injection. All this requires a large number of highly skilled workers and specialists to maintain. The produced oil is cleaned of gas and solid impurities and enters a gas pipeline that connects wells with refineries.
Personal qualities
The profession of an oilman presupposes an inquiring mind, a penchant for technical and natural sciences, good intellect, and memory. Hard work, patience and good health is required.
The work of an oilman is connected with long-distance business trips, life far from settlements. Sometimes you have to live for months in the most difficult conditions.
For some, "wandering through the tundra" is terrifying, but for others, living in tents, overcoming physical difficulties, combined with intense professional work, is romance. And the image of a geologist with a guitar is a symbol of cheerful resilience.
Education (What you need to know?)
Specialists of any level must have a high level of qualifications, good education and at least basic knowledge of professional software. The higher the salary offered, the more serious the requirements for the applicant.
So, among the requirements are:
- professional education. For workers - secondary specialized, for engineering and scientific personnel - higher.
- at least a minimum work experience in the specialty, experience in conducting geological exploration and prospecting work.
- high level of computer use, knowledge of geological modeling programs, AutoCAD, etc.
- knowledge of technical English at a level sufficient to understand the documentation and literature in the specialty.
- readiness for business trips, living and working in the field.
The oilman in his work uses knowledge of the structure of the earth's crust, lithosphere, geological processes, the evolution of the organic world, ecology, etc.
He must know the methods of exploration for hydrocarbon deposits. He also needs to know the technologies of drilling, testing, well operation, methods of their research.
Place of work and career
An oil worker can work in the production and scientific and technical departments of companies producing oil and gas. And also in research institutes of the oil and gas profile. The work of an oilman is connected with long-distance business trips, life far from settlements.
