  • Analyze reservoirs
  • Optimize production
  • Design stimulation and frac jobs
  • Run well economics
  • Supervise field work
  • Prepare regulatory filings
  • Run engineering calculations

How it works for petroleum engineers

Licenses

Common here: Professional engineer (PE), Engineer in training (EIT). A license with its number counts for matching; verification is optional.

Trade partners you might meet

Chemical engineers, geoscientists, drillers and production operators.

Where you'd meet

At the yard, the plant gate or a coffee in town. Field and plant roles always meet in person.

Changing fields

Reservoir and drilling skills carry into geothermal and carbon storage. Pick "Changing fields" to be matched on the new role.

Questions

Do petroleum engineers need a résumé?

No. You answer a tap-only questionnaire, check your skills and how deep each one goes, play a few short work stories, and invite people to vouch for you.

How is my license shown?

Entered with its number and state, it counts for matching right away and shows as "Self-reported". Verification ($29.99) adds a "Verified" badge. The number is never shown.

Can I meet over video?

Not yet. A timed 30-minute video meetup is planned for project work in this field, when both sides are ID-verified. Hiring and networking meet in person.

Built for petroleum engineers. Free to join.

Free to join. Answer the basics in a few minutes and you can be matched right away. Everything else you add makes matching better.
