  1. PROFESSIONAL CAREERS IN THE COMING GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION Peter R. Rose AAPG PRESIDENT November 2005

  2. THINKING ABOUT CAREERS - 1 Career • “Not just what happens to you between University and Retirement.” • A Life Journey that, despite Life’s uncertainties, needs planning, guiding, preparation, execution, decision-making, and help from others. • “Career crises” -- Dangers? or Opportunities? Prepare for them before they occur. Chance favors the prepared mind.

  3. THINKING ABOUT CAREERS - 2 Mentoring • Archetypal human relationship • Mutual decision to join into by older person and younger person • Essential for professional careers

  4. THINKING ABOUT CAREERS - 3 What are you now? • Student? Scientist? Employee? What will you be in 6 years? • Technician? Scientist? Employee? PROFESSIONAL

  5. PROFESSIONAL “. . . continually pursues and becomes proficient in a specialized occupation requiring substantial skill and/or education, and involving elements of learned study, personal dedication, and service to mankind.” “. . . traditionally Law, Medicine, and the Clergy; now Engineering, Architecture, and Accounting.” “An attitude involving personal endorsement of consistently high standards of knowledge, work performance, and conduct . . . and requiring a willingness to be accountable.”

  6. OBLIGATIONS OF E&P PROFESSIONALS • Recognize Inherent Fiduciary Responsibility • Honor Professional Tenets: • Objectivity • Technically Current • Thoroughness • Candor • Team Work • Inescapably Tied to Ethics

  13. Status of World Exploration • Advancing Technologies • Challenging Theaters • Need for Efficiency • Declining Resource Base • Growing Demand • Fewer Elephants, Plenty of Antelopes • Adequate Capital • Previous Loss of Credibility Do we have the Vision, Discipline, and the Will? Can we do it Efficiently with Exploration?

  20. CRUDE OIL A GLOBAL COMMODITY

  21. SPECIALTIES YOU MAY NOT REALIZE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED - 1 Clear Communication Skills • Speaking • Writing • Active Listening • Interpersonal Skills • Tact • Teamwork • Goal-setting • Practical Statistics • E&P a “Repeated-Trials Game” • Applied to geologic & geotechnical parameters • Statistics, the Language of Uncertainty

  22. SPECIALTIES YOU MAY NOT REALIZE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED - 2 Economics and Finance • Geoscience Results Usually have Economic Implications • Perceptions of Future Profit drives Geotechnical Projects • Geoscientists can Take Control of their Destiny • Ethics • Most Geoscience Projects have Fiduciary Components • Need for Scientific and Personal Integrity • Importance of Living within your Means

  23. CAREER COUNSEL FOR GEOSCIENTISTS • You are a professional -- with professional responsibilities and privileges • Join professional associations and be active -- build personal networks • Don’t self-limit -- give yourself room to grow -- power in integrating geo-specialties • Learn some business economics -- don’t let others assess your projects’ values • Become a lifelong student -- your University Diploma is a permanent license to learn, not a “Union Card”. • Secrets of success: • Competence • Good work habits • Integrity • Responsiveness • Contacts • Enterprise
