Do Lawyers Work in the Oil and Gas Industry?

Dear Jarus

Any advice for me? I’m a law student and I’m just considering going into oil and gas after I read your write up. I wanted to go into tech too considering the future is Artificial Intelligence…”Data is the new oil ” but I’m not so good with calculations and coding so that scared me off… would appreciate any tip, Sir

Dear Bashir

There are many law graduates in the oil and gas sector so it is very possible. Although very competitive. Make minimum of 2:1 in school and Law School.

Try to nose for opportunities in the sector. Dont limit your search to the big ones like Shell, Chevron, etc there are more than 30 other good well paying little known oil and gas companies.

Far from being a guarantee but it could be helpful.
