ok....lemme come in here....first of all....do not limit urself to the oil & gas industry......there are lots of opportunities for geocomputing professionals out there.....that beign said......u can fit into d oil industry as...
(1) a seismic surveyor (land/swamp)
(2) a seismic navigator (water/offshore)
(3) geo- data management specialist(data loader) this is where ur knowledge & use of mapping/geological software comes to play....this is because u transfer ur data for modelling from one software to another...,e.g petrel -landmark-opendtct-ArcGis-Oracle....depends on d choice of software in use by d company u happen to find urself.
(4) u can work as mapping/ survey analyst for mining lease management, Delineating OML Blocks, oil spill rapid response, image analysis, subsurface mapping, rig positioning, rig move, dimension control survey.
(5) Geo data processing /interpretation is another area where u can as well come in.

this is just a brief overview of what u can do as a Gis/ remote sensing techie......with d current trend in d industry......u must get ready to get ur hands dirty with programming, because web mapping is d current issh.....most especially for data sharing.....so be ready to play with HTML5, CSS, java,......not trying to scare u.....but saying it as it is.......hope this helps.

you are the real MVP , Please what are the prospects in the solid minerals industry for a geophysicist, also I intend specialising in computational geosciences for my masters what advise do u have with regards to that

the thing is that I am not only interested in oil and gas. So I am trying to look for ways to develop myself to be come more of a geophysicist than a petrophysicist. Any advise with regards to that?

Also, is there any geophysicist or geologist that is working (or has worked) in the mining industry in this forum. If yes what's the experience like?

AutoCAD? Total waste of your time. Who even suggested that to you? Lol.

Hello people nice thread, I'm a recent applied geophysics graduate, I'd like to knoow how valuable autocad is to geophysics on a scale of 1 to 10
