How can I become a reservoir engineer?

The qualifications you need to become a reservoir engineer are a bachelor’s degree in geology, engineering, petroleum engineering, or a relevant field of study, and at least two years of experience in the oil and gas industry, preferably with hands-on training in reservoir engineering. A professional license in your state from the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) gives you educational training, tests the skills you need for these positions, and helps you stand out from other applicants. You can find reservoir engineering jobs with oil and gas companies and surveying companies.
