Petroleum Engineering
Many of us are not heard about this wonderful course which is now become the essential for life as an oxygen
About course
Petroleum refers to crude oil and petroleum engineering is the set of activities related to the production
and processing of various products such as gasoline, diesel, heating oil from crude oil. Petroleum
engineers work with geologists to understand the geologic formation and properties of the rock
containing the oil reservoir, determine the drilling methods to be used and monitor drilling and production
operations. They design equipment and processes to achieve the maximum profitable recovery of oil and
gas. Petroleum engineers rely heavily on computer models to simulate reservoir performance using
different recovery techniques. Petroleum engineering requires a good knowledge of many other related
disciplines, such as geophysics, petroleum geology, formation evaluation (well logging), drilling, economics,
reservoir simulation, reservoir engineering, well engineering, artificial lift systems, completions and oil
and gas facilities engineering. Further studies– After completing B. Tech in Petroleum Engineering,
you can go for M. Tech followed by research.
Start Early
Considering the inclination towards petroleum engineering one should start preparing for entrance
exams which are conducted by various engineering colleges. As Petroleum is available in areas which
are geographically isolated places, it could be challenging to work in such a place. However, it is a
highly paid career and money attracts lots of students to pursue this field of study in engineering
colleges.
