My plan exactly. I was actually trying to get a co-op job in the upstream side of the business, but I was never able to land an interview. Hopefully after the job in the fall, I’ll be able to get at least interviews for oil companies in Calgary. Perhaps I’ll have fairly good chances to get into the upstream side within the same company, although I’d like to aim for larger companies out west (maybe even American ones too).

Do you have any comments regarding volunteering as research assistants (during my study terms) with professors working porous media research? I’ve had trouble getting in touch with the other prof doing research in EOR, so porous media is the next closest thing there is (for upstream anyway).

Also, that’s an interesting comment about a master’s in PE. Dose it matter if it’s FT vs PT? MSc vs M.Eng?

Just want to thank you so far nshah9617. You’ve been of tremendous help!
