Course_Introduction

Petroleum
Engineering deals in search of reservoirs containing oil and natural gas
along with exploration, evaluation and production. Petroleum engineering is
an engineering discipline concerned with the production of hydrocarbons,
which can be either crude oil or natural gas. With the development of new
technology, Petroleum engineering has become very much useful in the
extraction process. Improvements in computer modeling, materials and the
application of statistics, probability analysis, and new technologies like
horizontal drilling and enhanced oil recovery, have also improved the toolbox
of the petroleum engineer in recent decades.

Petroleum
engineers are divided into several groups such as Petroleum geologists,
Reservoir engineers, Production engineers, Drilling engineers. Their work
involve oil and gas extraction, production, management of material resources,
research and development in labs, drilling equipment refining process. Petroleum
engineers focus on production challenges, identifying, testing, and
implementing methods for improving oil and gas production. They might also
focus on safety issues, or maintenance support, identifying and planning
upgrades of equipment or systems, economics, helping a team determine the
optimum number of wells appropriate for a given operation.
Petroleum
geologists find hydrocarbons by analyzing subsurface structures with
geological and geophysical methods;
Reservoir
engineers work to optimize production of oil and gas via proper well
placement, production levels, and enhanced oil recovery techniques;
Production
engineers manage the interface between the reservoir and the well through
such tasks as (but not limited to) perforations, sand control, artificial
lift, down hole flow control and down hole monitoring equipment.
Drilling
engineers manage the technical aspects of drilling both production and
injection wells.

Good
job opportunities for Petroleum Engineers in public as well as in corporate sector.
A petroleum engineer Amy serve as a consultant to investors, banks, or other
financial services firms. One with a
professional degree in petroleum technology can find employment opportunities
in government undertakings like Indian Oil, Oil India Limited, HPCL
(Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited), BP (British Petroleum) and ONGC
(Oil and Natural Gas Corporation). Freshers may find opportunities in in
public undertakings as well as in corporate sector that deal with petroleum
exploration and extraction.
