Abstract :
This paper covers the nontechnical skills required by engineers working in the oil and gas industry and is based on a survey conducted during the first quarter of 1995 which dealt specifically with employers´ opinions on the personal and professional skills required by their engineers. The survey also canvassed the views of employers on what additional training in specific areas would benefit recent graduated and more mature engineers
