Subsurface engineer
open-in-new
<p>Subsurface engineers (also known as "completion engineers") are a subset within <a href="/facts/Petroleum_Engineering/owk07hr2">Petroleum Engineering</a> and typically work closely with <a href="/facts/Drilling_engineers/ykc5YRkb">Drilling engineers</a>. The job of a Subsurface Engineer is to effectively select equipment that will best suit the subsurface environment in order to best produce the hydrocarbon reserves. Once the hardware has been selected, a Subsurface Engineer will monitor and adjust the equipment to ensure the well and reservoir produces under ideal circumstances. </p>
