Posts: 776Andres, most petroleum engineers and geologists don't work in remote places -- most work in offices in cities. While I know very little about the industry in Argentina, I'd suspect the high salaries are a supply and demand thing. And right now there's a lot of demand and not much supply. A competent petroleum engineer with good English and 5+ years experience could move to Houston or Calgary and make a lot more than 16,000 pesos / month.

Also, the cost of life in those regions is even higher than in BA (at least for food and other supplies that cannot be sourced locally) That is, you make more but you spend more too (and even more if you periodically visit your family back home) I know that firsthand because I provided services to companies in that sector and traveling to those provinces.

Posts: 9Technical people in the petroleum sector including engineers and geotechnical professionals are paid as follows.
24-25 year old kids with a college degree and 1 year experience: 3000-3500 pesos per month.
A 20 year plus experienced petroleum professional will make 13,000-16,000 peso per month.
These numbers are based on the energy industry market surveys.

Hope this helps,
