About Me & Petroleum Engineering,
- Nirav Desai (Nd)
- Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
- I am doing my B.Tech in Petroleum engineering at IPTG.When i got addmission in Petroleum Engineering at IPTG i don't know what is Petroleum Engineering is all about,but later as days went at IPTG,i came to know that it's the best enginnering branch that i ever saw. It's like a dream come true for me!!! Petroleum engineering refers to the subsurface engineering activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or gas.
What is Petroleum Engineering is all about.....
Petroleum Engineering is not about just filling your tank from any petrol -pump and went away..... Petroleum Engineering deals with activities that are deemed to fall within the upstream -sector of the oil and gas industry, which are the activities of finding and producing hydrocarbons prior to the point of refining or distribution to a market, which is referred to as the downstream sector. Petroleum Geology and Petroleum Engineering are the two main subsurface disciplines within the oil and gas industry, which focus on maximizing economic recovery of hydrocarbons from subsurface reservoirs. Petroleum Geology focuses on provision of a static description of the hydrocarbon reservoir rock, whilst Petroleum Engineering focuses on estimation of the recoverable volume of this resource using a detailed understanding of the physical behavior of oil, water and gas within porous rock at very high pressure.
Geophysics,
Geophysics, a major discipline of Earth sciences, is the study of the Earth by quantitative physical methods, especially by seismic, electromagnetic, and radioactivity methods.
