This paper examines the role of engineers in major oil companies during the period from 1986 to 2000. It looks at both the majors' involvement in petroleum E and P and the significant technical challenges facing the industry for the remainder of the 20th century. The paper forecasts the functions of the engineer during this period, the computer support available to the engineer in the year 2000, and the qualifications required of the entry-level engineer in 2000.
