Petroleum Engineering

Petroleum engineering is the area of engineering that focuses on the methods used to develop and utilise oil and gas fields as well as the technical evaluation, computer modelling, and projection of how well they will produce in the future. Mining engineering and geology gave rise to petroleum engineering, and the two disciplines are still intimately related. Geoscience aids engineers in understanding the geological structures and circumstances that support the formation of petroleum deposits. The petroleum engineer is in charge of drilling, producing, processing, and shipping these products, as well as addressing the associated economic and regulatory issues. Their goal is to extract gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon products from the ground.
