- Petroleum Engineering that involves the extraction, purification, production and utilization of petroleum and natural gas.\n- It involves in the exploration and production activities of petroleum at the upstream end of the energy sector. \n- The diverse topics covered by petroleum engineering are closely related to the earth sciences. \n- Petroleum engineering topics include geology, geochemistry, geophysics, oil drilling, well logging, well completion, oil and gas production, reservoir development, and pipelining. \n------------

Any high school were you go will prepare you to be accepted into a college where you can study petroleum engineering.

"Petrophysics is one of the key reservoir disciplines (Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics, Reservoir Engineering) Petrophysics is all about describing the oil and/or gas distributions and production flow capacity of our reservoirs, from interpretations of pore system and fluid interactions."\nhttp://www.spwla.org/library_info/PetrophysicsCareer_files/frame.htm\n\nCareers in Geoscience- Petrophysicist\n"Our job is to determine the potential quality and performance of a petroleum resource by estimating how much hydrocarbon is present and whether it can be produced economically."\nhttp://www.seed.slb.com/en/scictr/career/geoscience/neville.htm

Schlumberger defines it as: Geophysics.\n\nThat's a little too simple. Seismic stratigraphy is the study and interpretation of stratigraphic layers and structures of deeply buried rocks and their fluid content as delineated by the reflection of seismic (sound) waves off of those features. It does not necessarily correlate with actual depositional or structural features, but instead represents the interaction of various rock properties with sonic waves. \n\nIt is a primary tool of the oil and gas industry used for finding potential structures that may be oil and gas reservoirs.

Civil Engineering:\n\n1. includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (eg, railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (eg, river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (eg, buildings, bridges, and tunnels).\n\n2. the branch of engineering concerned with the design and construction of such public works as dams or bridges \n\n3. In modern usage, civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with roads, structures, water supply, sewer, flood control and traffic.\n\n\n\nCheck out the sites below, hope this helps and good luck!

Fixing and repairing are works of  technician. Engineering is design or redesigning complex engineering realities. It is a myth that women can not be a mech. Eng. I am student at University if Moratuwa, Sri Lanaka. There are so many female engineering student in our campus.

How did you get a degree in engineering? I am amazed you have to ask someone how to do this.\n\nIt is energy out divided by energy in. \n\nYou determine the amount of energy in by the amount of gas being burned and its heating value. You determine the amount of energy out by the amount of heat absorbed by the fluid being heated by the heater.

I'm a Materials Engineer (close to a Chemical Engineer) and am not familiar with a slogan for chemical engineering.  Chemical Engineers do many things, but many times are concerned with chemical processes, that is, desiging how the chemicals react and where the chemicals flow.  So a similar name might be Chemical Process Engineers, although process engineers are a little more concerned with controlling large scale production, while Chemical Engineers are more concerned with developing a functioning chemical process.  Does this help?

I am sure the University of Calgary is a good one since Calgary is the base of the petroleum industry in Canada. \n\nI would consider the University of Texas at Austin to be one of the best in the US. Another respected rival of UT is Texas A & M which has a petroleum engineering department as well. Stanford University in California is another well respected school with a graduate program in petroleum engineering. School of Mines in Colorado is highly respected in petroleum engineering and all other petroleum related disciplines.  I would consider any one of these four to be among the best, and I'm in the industry.\n\nHere is a list of graduate programs in this field:\nhttp://programs.gradschools.com/usa/petroleum_engineering.html

Rigzone.com is a Gateway to the Oil and Gas Industry, providing us with industry news and information, the Online Oil & Gas Directory, careers, a classifieds marketplace, and more. I personally knew about the site, because students from my college(Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, India , http://tiet.ac.in), who are doing Chemical Engineering, had a project on Oil and Natural Gas, and they used to frequent visit the website. They worked so well on the project, that got recruited in Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India, directly after completing their Undergraduate Studies.

The National Assessment of United States Oil and Gas Resources prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides estimates of quantities of technically recoverable oil and natural gas that could be added to our already proved reserves in the onshore and State offshore areas of the United States.\n\nit is table format so you should go to this link to look \n\nhttp://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs024-98/table1.htm

Astronautics is the branch of engineering that deals with machines designed to work outside of Earth's atmosphere, whether manned or unmanned. In other words, it is the science and technology of space flight.

When the oil business cratered in the 1980's, many engineers retrained into environmental. There were also gov't subsidies to retrain.\n\nAny engineering degree is a 4-yr degree, otherwise you are a Tech. \n\nThe amount of money depends on where you go to school. I live in Oklahoma, where the oil used to be, but where many colleges still have good curriculum. Private universities are ten times the cost of State schools, like OU and OSU, and the Junior Colleges are even cheaper.\n\nThere are many grants available. Check at your local library. At the very least, you can get low-interest loans. \n\nDon't worry about the money to get started. Just get started. You may need money to live on to attend school full time, but work on getting funding first. A free ride while attending school is what you're trying to do. \n\nThere is a reason some colleges cost more. You get what you pay for. The major schools employ the genius, while the lesser schools employ those who are just beginning, or haven't made a particular mark. You want to be taught by the best you can afford. Do not scrimp or cut corners on your education. Challenge yourself. It will reward you for a lifetime.
