Scope of Petroleum Engineering in Production

Advertisements

Petroleum Engineering is one of the rare branches of Engineering which attracts the youth of today. Petroleum Engineering includes the production of petroleum which is an upstream of energy sector. This engineering sector is very useful in the extraction process of petroleum.

The Petroleum Engineering has emerged as a unique field through the constant improvements in computer modelling and probability analysis. The course has paved the way for the emergence of petroleum production. The mining as well as the distillation process can be done only with production engineers as the process requires complex production methods.

There are many courses available in this field of study. They are Diploma/Under Graduate /Post Graduate courses. The study of Petroleum Engineering covers various relevant topics. They are:

  • Economics
  • Geology
  • Geochemistry
  • Geomechanics
  • Geophysics
  • Oil drilling
  • Geopolitics
  • Knowledge management
  • Seismology
  • Tectonics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Well logging
  • Well completion
  • Oil and gas production
  • Reservoir development
  • Pipelines

Role of a Petroleum Engineer

The mining of petrol is one of the most important aspects of petroleum engineering. A petroleum engineer should properly plan, design and execute the mining of petroleum. The Petroleum Engineer is also responsible in managing the material resources as well as supervising the drilling processes.

Universities/Colleges offering courses in Petroleum Engineering

These are the various institutes that offer courses in Petroleum Engineering across the country.

  • Dept. of Petroleum Engineering, Indian School of Mines University
  • Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University
  • Institute of Petroleum Technology, Gandhinagar
  • Institute of Petroleum Management, Gandhinagar (IPMG)
  • Research & Innovation Centre, Gandhinagar
  • Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun

Career Prospects

Petroleum Engineering offers excellent career opportunities to the graduates. The scope for freshers in public firms is very high. The corporate sector also provides ample space for the fresh graduates to set in. The various fields offered in this sector include the exploration, extraction and production of petroleum.

This field always suffers in short supply of professionals. Due to the ever increasing demand of safe sources of energy, it is worth to gain a degree in the field of Petroleum Engineering. This field also faces certain challenges similar to the other fields. These challenges can be successfully overcome by applying the technical skills that has evolved during the period of study. One can also join hands with the research field by implementing new ideas which in turn contributes to the growth of this industry
