Bachelor of Engineering (Petroleum Engineering)
University
Petroleum Engineering involves locating petroleum and natural gas deposits (called reservoirs) and estimating their value.
Determining the quantity and quality of oil and natural gas in a reservoir is essential, as setting up pretroleum and gas production is extremely expensive, potential recovery must justify the cost.
Petroleum Engineering is concerned with the safe drilling of oil wells and managing the extraction of oil and gas from reservoirs. Petroleum Engineers may specialise in different disciplines such as drilling exploratory wells, the design and building of oil wells and estimating the size, volume and quality of petroleum reservoirs. Petroleum Engineers manage the safe and cost effiecient day to day running of petroleum and gas reservoirs.
