Petroleum Engineering Are you up for the future energy challenge?

Are you up for the challenge?

Are you up for the challenge?

Yes? Petroleum Engineering

may be for you

What is a Petroleum Engineer? • We meet the world's energy

needs • We provide the ingredients

for modern life • We help reduce greenhouse

gas emissions • We are at the forefront of

new technology • We are paid well and work all

over the world.

What does a Petroleum Engineer do?

Exploration Working with geologists, geophysicists and other geoscientists to seek out new oil & gas, geothermal energy and CO2 storage reservoirs

Reservoir Engineering Determining the size of the oil & gas discoveries and design production process Developing complex simulations of the behaviour of oil & gas fields.

Drilling Engineering Designing and managing the drilling of wells to access the discoveries; Using special tools to take samples and measure the properties of rocks deep under the earth.

Production Engineering Designing the processes for producing oil & gas resources and overseeing their smooth, safe and economical operation.

Petroleum Engineers are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

50% – 67% reduction

80% – 90% reduction

90% – 100% reduction

Petroleum Engineers are well paid and work all over the world

... there has been an age and experience gap in the oil and gas industry for quite some time now. Some of the previous price busts resulted in a brain drain… This has created the need to find good replacements and get them up to speed rather quickly. We are yet to fill this gap. Tom Seng, University of Tulsa
