Petroleum Engineering Petroleum engineering is a recent development in the field of technical education which is becoming very much popular among young masses.Petroleum Engineers are involved in exploration and production activities of petroleum which is an upstream end of an energy sector. Petroleum Engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil of natural gas. Exploration and production are deemed to fall with in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry. The prime motive of petroleum engineers to locate a natural reservoirs of petroleum deposits. They work to develop more effective, cost-efficient methods of petroleum recovery through the application of principles from chemistry, mathematics, engineering and geology. The study covers a wide range of topics including economics, geology, geochemistry, geopolitics, geomechanics, geophysics, oil drilling, knowledge management, seismo...
