Have you ever considered getting a real dull job? It would be something different.

When you said, "[P]ressure regimes below surface, full interpretation of the subsurface geology and gas analysis!" I had to wonder how you got your data. In the old days, they used to set off a small explosion and then listen for the echos, but that just gave them a crude profile of underlying strata. I'm betting the technology has changed.
