What is B.Tech in Petroleum
Engineering?
Basically, during the BTech
Petroleum Engineering course, learns the innovative process of extraction such
as mining, drilling, etc. In simple words, a petroleum engineer is
recruited by oil or gas companies to implement the efficient methodology for
extracting petroleum products from the earth and seafloor.
There are two major
specializations under the discipline of petroleum engineering:
Other than these above major
specializations, there are three sub-branches of petroleum engineering:
Why Study B.Tech in Petroleum Engineering?
The rapid increase in demand for oil all over the world
and scarcity of the oil wells especially in developing countries has led to the
surge pricing of oil. High oil prices mean an increase in exploration and
production of oil, hence, a greater demand for experienced petroleum engineers.
The advantages of this course are given below:
1.Travel
Travelling
is one of the perks for the petroleum engineers since they must be on site or
offshore for either drilling or mining process. They get to explore the remote
locations in India and abroad.
2.Engaging Work
Even
though petroleum engineers have a challenging job, the work involves high
intellect and skills to pan out an ideal plan for the extraction process and
dealing with numbers. One must work in laboratories with advanced equipment
most of the time to extract best results.
3.Excellent Pay
Petroleum
engineers enjoy great benefits with excellent pay and an above average package
than a basic engineer. Typically, the starting salary for a petroleum engineer
lies within the range of INR 25,000 to INR 40,000 monthly. The package increases
with years of experience and education. Along with that, they are rewarded with
paid time off, numerous retirement plans, great health insurance packages since
they work at mines and dangerous sites.
Scope Of the Course:
Is Petroleum engineers’ future bright…??…
A degree in Petroleum
Engineering can open many career paths. Petroleum engineers are demanded
globally. Plenty of jobs are available for the professionals of this field.
Many petroleum and gas companies offer the job to petroleum engineers.
Also
Check:
Petroleum
engineers can also work in drilling sites. Job opportunities for the
professionals of this field also exist in foreign countries like the United
States.
Petroleum
engineering degree holders can also start their career in teaching field.
