The most used method is the seismic reflection, pneumatic vibrators for generating weak shocks in the basement, and sensors for recording data.

 A geophysicist works with geologist’s interpretation, and evaluates the data, the nature of risks and uncertainties. Another job of a geophysicist is to process the retrieved data from the seismic reflection technique. On land or sea, the data is processed directly at the point of acquisition.

The reservoir geophysicist is responsible for determining the size and shape of the hydrocarbon reservoir (delineation), whose role is in limelight after the discovery is made. A reservoir geophysicist optimizes the knowledge of the field and proposes the drilling of more wells to improve performance.

The research and development geophysicist creates new techniques for exploration and oil production to improve methods and tools, and can also propose the use of new software for data interpretation, new methods of modeling and imaging etc. The above discussed works are certain tasks of a geophysicist to build up  careers in oil

The emirate of Dubai has the largest campuses, which offers around 400 degrees to the students. The head of higher education at KHDA, Dr Warren Fox, stated that the students will be having guaranteed employment, in both public and private sector.


This is certainly great news for the Emiratis who had to go to other institutions in search of the available campuses. The employers also seek candidates who belong to the same city or state, hence it makes it easy for the employers to hire candidates from the same country. This is the why the Emiratis have been choosing free zone universities, since they were introduced in year 2006.

The attested degree offered by the KHDA is the main reason for the students to grab these opportunities rather than accepting free offers from federal universities. The changed law will give the KHDA an access to the key information related to profiles of the students, their enrolment numbers and other educational details.

However, it will not be possible for the students to take a degree in Dubai, and work in any other emirate as per the law. This law is for the people who will be working in Dubai after completion of their education, with the top companies in Dubai or government jobs.
