Petroleum engineering is a field of study focused on the exploration, extraction, and production of oil and natural gas. It involves understanding the complex processes and technologies used to locate and develop petroleum reservoirs beneath the Earth’s surface. Students in petroleum engineering learn about the properties of hydrocarbons, the design and implementation of drilling techniques, and the management of production systems. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, production engineering, and enhanced oil recovery methods. Students also gain insights into the environmental and economic factors that influence the petroleum industry. The course prepares graduates to address the challenges of extracting energy resources efficiently and sustainably, ensuring a balance between economic viability and environmental responsibility.
