"Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of Hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas."
The development and production of oil and gas resources.
Geology: Study of the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it.
Fluid Mechanics: Study of how fluids behave under various conditions such as pressure and temperature in both static and dynamic states.
Thermodynamics: Study of the relationship between heat, energy, and work.
Reservoir Engineering: Specialization of petroleum engineering that deals with the design and optimization of oil and gas reservoirs.
Drilling Engineering: Study of various drilling methods and equipment used in the exploration for and extraction of oil and gas.
Production Engineering: Specialization in petroleum engineering that deals with the design and optimization of production systems for oil and gas wells.
Well Logging: Technique used to gather data about the formation and composition of rocks surrounding a borehole that is being drilled.
Enhanced Recovery Methods: Techniques used to increase the amount of oil and gas that can be extracted from a reservoir beyond what can be achieved through primary production methods.
Petroleum Economics: Study of the economic principles and methods used to evaluate the profitability of oil and gas projects.
Safety and Environmental Management: Study of the safety policies and procedures that must be implemented to ensure worker safety and environmental protection during oil and gas operations.
"Exploration and production are deemed to fall within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry."
"Exploration, by earth scientists, and petroleum engineering are the oil and gas industry's two main subsurface disciplines."
"Petroleum geology and geophysics focus on provision of a static description of the hydrocarbon reservoir rock."
"Petroleum engineering focuses on estimation of the recoverable volume of this resource using a detailed understanding of the physical behavior of oil, water and gas within porous rock at very high pressure."
"The combined efforts of geologists and petroleum engineers throughout the life of a hydrocarbon accumulation determine the way in which a reservoir is developed and depleted, and usually they have the highest impact on field economics."
"Petroleum engineering requires a good knowledge of many other related disciplines, such as geophysics, petroleum geology, formation evaluation (well logging), drilling, economics, reservoir simulation, reservoir engineering, well engineering, artificial lift systems, completions and petroleum production engineering."
"Recruitment to the industry has historically been from the disciplines of physics, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and mining engineering."
"The combined efforts of geologists and petroleum engineers throughout the life of a hydrocarbon accumulation determine the way in which a reservoir is developed and depleted."
"Exploration, by earth scientists, and petroleum engineering are the oil and gas industry's two main subsurface disciplines, which focus on maximizing economic recovery of hydrocarbons from subsurface reservoirs."
