Petroleum Engineering
PCEES serves the exciting world of Petroleum Engineering and helps Petroleum Engineers remain in high demand by offering support to enhance their competitiveness. The importance of Petroleum engineers to the worldwide economy cannot be over-emphasized. Petroleum Engineers are engaged in every upstream stage of fossil fuel extraction, development and production, they guarantee that the end-to-end process is cost-effective, efficient, and safe. At the job entrance level, many employers hire candidates who demonstrate strong potential and eventually deploy them in positions that combine the company’s strategic goals with their previous experience instead of differentiating between the various petroleum engineering roles.
The broad range of engagement opportunities open to qualified petroleum engineers in the petroleum sector, includes prospects at various stages of the oil and gas process: transportation, storage, production, reservoir, drilling, and exploration.
PETROLEUM GEOLOGY
This discipline relates to the particular set of geological branch of learning, applied to oil exploration or the search for hydrocarbons, and the analysis of the subsurface of likely drilling sites.
DRILLING ENGINEERING
This discipline enables engineers design and execute techniques for economic and safe drilling of injection or production wells. Drilling engineers work closely with the compliance personnel, service companies, drilling contractor, technical experts, and geologists
COMPLETION ENGINEERING
This discipline relate to administering work to complete the wells construction to allow hydrocarbon flow to surface from below. Completion engineers apply pressure-control, matrix stimulation, hydraulic fracturing, or tubing techniques.
RESERVOIR ENGINEERING
This disciple the best means to exploit each new discovery, guaranteeing defined placement of drainage points or wells, rates of production and best techniques for recovery. Forecasts on reservoir potential and advanced programs or models are useful tools and techniques for reservoir engineers.
PRODUCTION ENGINEERING
The aspect of petroleum engineering involves process design and equipment selection to optimize production of hydrocarbon. Production engineers oversee the interface between the reservoir and wells, and carry out responsibilities such as selecting downhole flow control and downhole monitoring equipment, artificial lift, sand control, and perforations.
