What is the difference between petroleum engineering and oil and gas engineering?

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.

Can petroleum engineering be dangerous to your health?
Absolutely. Any engineering can be potentially dangerous to your health. and especially petroleum engineering. In that job you are essentially being exposed to gas.

What is petroluem engineering?
Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering which includes activities to produce crude oil or natural gas.
What is difference between LPG and Petrol?
lpg is liquified petroleum gas which is butane petrol is another by product of petroleum which is a mixture of 2-3 hydrocabons
What is the relationship between natural gas and petroleum?
The relationship between natural gas and petroleum is the formation of both under the earth's surface from fossils. Both natural gas and petroleum are sources of fuel.

Christopher T. Franklin has written: 'Handbook of oil & gas operations' -- subject(s): Gas engineering, Handbooks, manuals, Petroleum engineering
Difference between natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas?
They are both Hydrocarbons Natural gas is mainly Methane, one atom of carbon surrounded by Hydrogen, CH3. Liquified Petroleum gas has longer chains of carbon, usually 3/4 Carbons (propane/butane, C3H8/C4H10)
What is Natural Gas Engineering?
Natural gas engineering is a specialized discipline under petroleum engineering. Wells that produce both oil and gas are considered oil wells. A well that produces only gas is a gas well. Natural gas engineering is a part of reservoir engineering, which focusses on the evaluation of subsurface deposits of hydrocarbons ability to flow, and means of estimating and improving recovery. It is also part of petroleum production engineering which includes all evaluation from flow into the well. to processing to transportation to the end user.

Do universities in Cyprus offer petroleum geosciences?
Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus offers undergraduate degree in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering.
Is there a demand for Petroleum engineering in the future?
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!
