The oil and gas sector is divided into two main components

Upstream Sector Downstream Sector

The upstream is usually known as the exploration and production (E&P) sector. It includes the searching for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil and/or raw natural gas to the surface

The downstream sector includes oil refineries,petrochemical plants, and touches every provinceand territory-wherever consumers are located-and provides thousands of products such asgasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, asphalt,lubricants, synthetic rubber, plastics, fertilizers,antifreeze, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, naturalgas and propane.

Usually chemical engineering graduates work in the downstreamsector while petroleum graduates work in the upstream sector.

In many cases, graduates from the petroleum engineeringdepartment had to assume responsibilities in refining andpetrochemical plants while many chemical engineers have beenassigned jobs in the prospecting and oil field operations.

The Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering is adiscipline that integrates knowledge and skillsrequired for both upstream and downstreamindustries of oil and gas. Graduates will major ineither of the following:• Petroleum Engineering (PPC-P), Upstream.• Petrochemical Engineering (PPC-C), Downstream.

Today, in addition to traditional examples, there areincreasing opportunities in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals,electronic device fabrication and materials, as well as inenvironmental engineering.

Petrochemical engineering is essential in these and otherfields whenever processes involve the chemical or physicaltransformation of matter.

There is no guarantee for students getting outof college, whether they major in art history orpetrochemical engineering.They will face challenges in the road ahead ofthem.If they are flexible in where they live, what theydo, and their desire to learn and grow in newknowledge they will have a good career.
