| Description | Petroleum Engineering is more than just oil and gas: in addition to energy, petroleum-based products such as plastics are key components of virtually every consumer product and medical device we use.
Increasingly, petroleum engineers use advanced computation and modelling tools, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, not only in the analysis of exploration data and simulation of reservoir behaviour but also in the automation and design of field production and drilling operations. Petroleum engineers apply scientific understanding and technology in the extraction and management of hydrocarbon resources while also exploring ways to preserve and protect the environment. | | |
