Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of Hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas.
The Oil and Gas engineering has a long history of innovation. Finding new and better ways to get at oil and gas resources hidden from view far in the subsurface has been a necessity to meet growing demand for energy. Oil and Gas engineering, the branch of engineering that focuses on processes that allow the development and exploitation of crude oil and natural gas fields as well as the technical analysis, computer modeling, and forecasting of their future production performance. Oil and Gas engineering evolved from mining engineering and geology, and it remains closely linked to geoscience, which helps engineers understand the geological structures and conditions favorable for Oil and Gas deposits. The Oil and Gas engineer, whose aim is to extract gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon products from the earth, is concerned with drilling, producing, processing, and transporting these products and handling all the related economic and regulatory considerations. ploration and production are deemed to fall within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry.
