Petroleum Engineering

Energy is vital; it powers everything from our cellphones to our automobiles to our homes, raising our standard of living. Petroleum engineering is a mix of creativity, exploration, and growth. This major provides the foundation for all other professions to carry out their duties properly. Supercomputers are used by petroleum engineers to analyze exploration data and simulate reservoir dynamics, as well as to automate oilfield production and drilling activities. Petroleum engineers face numerous difficulties and opportunities in the future. To recover hydrocarbons from oil shale and offshore oil and gas areas, they must develop and deploy innovative technology. They must also develop innovative strategies to retrieve oil that has been left in the ground after standard production techniques have been used.
