IFP is a very reputed institute but the rankings for Petroleum Engineering courses have not been done in an exhaustive way I would say. Whether it be US or Europe, there has not been any consistent studies on this. What I would say is, in Europe, IFP is certainly among the top 5, and similarly, I can say that worldwide, it should be among top 15 (Taking into consideration the placement scenario, publication and R&D projects done by various institutes)

Petroleum is a major source of energy in the world.
Oh yes! Not many students are going into petroleum engineering, whereas former P.E are retiring therefore more demand. Also a lot of oil and gas is being found around the world therefore compaines will be hiring a lot petroleum engineers!
the world sixth producer of petroleum is China.
Saudi Arabia is the largest exporter of petroleum in the world.
As the price of oil has skyrocketed in the last decade, thousands of new oil extraction projects have come on-line around the world. The continuing high demand for oil and petroleum products -- like plastics and fertilizer -- ensure that petroleum engineer jobs will be secure for many years. These professionals are responsible for every part of the oil supply chain: Finding new extraction sites, building oil wells and pipelines, refining oil into gasoline and jet fuel, and delivering crude oil around the world on supertankers. Petroleum engineers earn massive profits for oil companies, and those firms are willing to share their bounty with talented engineers in return. It is not uncommon for petroleum engineers to be some of the most highly paid engineers in their field. Those looking for petroleum engineer jobs should try to find a program that specializes in petroleum engineering, in addition to majoring in a relevant science like geology or chemical engineering.

The U.S.A. by far has the best engineering in the world.
Lots of companies drill for petroleum, It's one of the biggest industries in the world.
Petroleum engineering is a wanted job all around the world, especially in the Middle East and it would be recommended if you speak Arabic. To be a petroleum engineer isn't an easy job you're required to take chemistry, all math, physics, geology... Act. Therefore, if you are determined for this you can do it but you have to work hard.
It has a lot of importance since most of the world's fuel is based on petroleum in some way.
All over the world.
