I think petroleum engineering has to do with the discovery of crude oil[hydrocarbons] in it's dark,sticky,viscous stage and lifting it to the surface and passing it to the refineries for the extraction of other components viz petroleum gases,petrol,kerosene . While gas and oil engineering has to do with reserving,distribution of refined oil and gas from crude oil to depots. Ismail Sani Ali.
Petroleum energy is energy derived from petroleum products: gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, etc.
Several Oil fields together make up an oil block

Oil is mostly man made petroleum is fossil fuels and is mostly natural
yo mamma and bill gates is the difference
Synthetic oil is a chemically made substitute made from petroleum components as opposed to non synthetic which is made from crude oil.
Petroleum is a word derived from Latin: Petra - rock, oleum - oil. Thus, in direct translation petroleum means oil from rock and is commonly regarded as a very close synonym of Crude Oil. However, according to Britannica Encyclopedia, petroleum as a technical term encompasses: the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
"Petroleum" is another name for what the rest of us call "oil" pumped out of the ground. The only difference is that when you call your oil "petroleum", you can get a better price for it.
Look at the can it came in or do an oil analyst if it is already in the engine. What difference does it make?
Petrol is gasoline and is refined by the process of fractional distillation, and petroleum is crude oil i.e. it is in it's raw form in a whole, before fractional distillation.
The difference between mineral oil and silicon oil are its uses and structure. Mineral oil is made from the distillation of petroleum. It is used in things like cosmetics, lotions and as a thermal fluid in electric components and as a laxative. Silicone oil is an oil made from semi-inorganic polymers. It is used in things like lubricants, adhesives, synthetic rubber and electrical insulation.
OPEC is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. OPEC deals with all the exported oil/Petroleum going in and out of countries. They control the price of oil/petroleum. EU is the European Union. The European Union deals with the economic problems, and other problems of it's members. It's also to create a common currency.
