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!
Currently there isn't any college in Maryland that offers petroleum engineering as a major
china university of petroleum is the best without doubt
Petroleum engineering is the engineering specialty that is focused on locating and extracting sources of petroleum. These engineers often work with specialists such as geologists and hydrologists to determine the best, most cost effective method to remove petroleum sources from the earth. The chief responsibility of a petroleum engineer is to select and supervise the method by which petroleum sources are to be extracted. However, the job is not nearly that simple, there are several factors that impact the engineer’s decisions. The first factor that petroleum engineers consider when drilling is the depth at which the reservoir is located as different drilling methods are to be used at varying depths. From there, the engineer must test the reservoir to determine its size and level of connectivity. In some cases it is possible to remove petroleum from multiple reservoirs through complex drilling and a process known as fracturing. The last, and often most important, decision made by a petroleum engineers involves the pressure and other environmental factors that allow petroleum to naturally flow to the surface of a well. Petroleum engineers have employed a variety of methods to remove as much petroleum as possible from a well; examples would be injecting steam and water into the reservoir. The minimum requirements to become a Petroleum Engineer are to earn a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering; however, it is very possible to cross over from another engineering specialty such as chemical or mechanical engineering. It is a very good idea for students interested in petroleum engineering to secure an internship during college to gain highly valuable work experience. Graduate degrees are necessary for many research and development positions. The employment opportunities in petroleum engineering are expected to be very good. There is to be an 18% growth over the next decade according to www.bls.gov ; in addition, there are too few graduates with degrees in petroleum engineering to fill the positions. Petroleum engineers are the most highly paid of the engineering specialties; starting salaries for a petroleum engineer are typically around $83,000, one of the highest for any bachelor’s level program. On average, workers in the field earn from $100,000 to $110,000.
Petroleum glut means the production of petroleum is greater than the demand. When petroleum price drops due to over-production, the market cites it as an oil glut. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s_oil_glut
I think a vessel is containing a fluid under high pressure whereas a drum contain a fluid with no or low pressure.
is ther a demand for material engineering in the future
petroleum engineering
no
yes
yes
absolutely yes
Aeronautical Engineering, Bio Tech Engineering, Automation Engineering
i was here i love boys
Yes, very much so. Especially after the end of the petroleum age.
theanswer is yes you will need it for different things
Yes, very much so. Especially after the end of the petroleum age.
