Incentives beyond salaries coming into play Geologists' Pay Continues Upward Trend

摘要

With a 15 percent run-up in the salaries for petroleum geologists over the past three years, the AAPG Annual Salary Survey showed the upward trend continuing - with a few interesting caveats. The weighted overall average salary for petroleum geologists was up 2.3 percent in 2011-12. However, take a look at who's getting what -and how. Mike Ayling, of MLA Resources in Tulsa, who has conducted the annual salary survey for AAPG since 1981, said the largest increases came in the high-demand 10-14 year experience group, with 10.3 percent hike in pay, and the15-19 year experience group showing a whopping 28.1 percent gain.
