    Not really, you would need to do organic chemistry or eology to really help them find oil or process oil better.

    Biochemistry is about looking at how Chemistry and Biology interact in nature, eg. Photosynthesis is part of biology yet is also a complex chemical reaction

    The function of a chemist in a petroleum company is to discover better and cheaper ways of refining petroleum, thereby saving the company money and increasing profit.

    You would really need to study earth sciences (geology, etc) and industrial chemistry to do this kind of work, not biochemistry.
