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.
The largest petroleum producing country in the world is the United States.
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 United States is the world's largest producer of petroleum.
