B.E. Petroleum Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering is an undergraduate Petroleum Engineering course. Petroleum engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas. Subsurface activities are deemed to fall within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry, which are the activities of finding and producing hydrocarbons. Refining and distribution to a market are referred to as the downstream sector. The duration of the course is four years but it may be more or less depending on the rules of the different institutes. The degree course is very important as the candidates find many career options in oil exploration companies. The course is offered on wide basis by most of the engineering colleges throughout the country.

 

B.E. Petroleum Engineering Eligibility

• Those who have passed their 10+2 or its equivalent exam can go for this Engineering degree.

 

B.E. Petroleum Engineering Course Suitability

• As you know that most of the jobs in engineering require team work, so they should embody the quality of team spirit. They often have to interact with specialists in a wide range of fields outside engineering. Hence must have the ability to communicate well, both orally and in writing. So students gifted with these skills can go for the course. 

• Along with other qualities they should be creative, inquisitive, and analytical and have an eye for detail. 

• The other very important skill is that one should have research skills in order to pursue a course in petroleum engineering. Decision-making and problem-solving skills are of great importance in Petroleum Engineering, which are part of managerial skills.

• The next quality they should possess is the ability to work in tight-schedules and meet deadlines is another important skill required if one wants to make a career in Petroleum Engineering.

 

How is B.E. Petroleum Engineering Course Beneficial?

• Petroleum engineers are employed in jobs which are mainly concentrated in oil and gas extraction, professional, scientific and technical services and petroleum refining. So they have widespread career scopes there.

• Other beneficial area is that they may also work for companies that produce drilling equipment, supplies and refining processes. Those with higher degrees can opt for the research field.

• Research and development work in petroleum technology is carried on at the Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) in Dehradun. Thus they have also bright scope there.
