A set of knowledge domains facilitating Upstream operations:
| Petroleum Geology | Studying reserves structure and volumes |
| Rock Geomechanics | Studying response of rock and rock masses to the forces or displacements |
| Petrophysics | Studying rock properties |
| Reservoir Engineering | Modelling well and reservoir flow dynamics and generating forecasts |
| Well & Log Analysis | Designing and interpretation of well logs |
| Well Testing | Designing and interpretation of well tests |
| Production Analysis | Long-term analysis of production history |
| Fluid Analysis (PVT) | Modelling fluids produced from or injected into the petroleum reservoir |
| Drilling Engineering | Designing and monitoring the well drilling |
| Workover Engineering | Designing and monitoring workovers |
| Production Technology | Well Performance Analysis and Production Planning |
| Subsurface Chemical Engineering | Designing the chemical treatments facilitating the optimal well and reservoir performance |
| Field Development Planning | Creating Field Development Plans |
The first three disciplines and a part of the fourth discipline are often refereed as Geology and Geophysics (G&G).
