Then they need managers and office workers to do work on the inside like doing reports, managing and performing tests, and checking statistics. They also need external workers that do the work like assembling the rig and doing tests and most importantly, pumping the oil when it is found. The scientists and geologists also have to, when oil is struck, weather the oils reservoir is big enough to commence more drilling and set up other rigs in the same
