Unions and Associations
Most petroleum technicians do not participate in a union, but the United Steelworkers is a union that advocates on behalf of oil workers. Petroleum technicians and college students can join the American Association of Petroleum Geologists if they are interested in advancing their career. Other useful organizations include the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the American Petroleum Institute.
