What Is Petroleum Engineering?

Energy plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of our daily lives, and petroleum is the largest source of energy in the United States. Petroleum engineering combines the basic sciences of chemistry, geology and physics with engineering sciences to promote the development and production of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources (such as crude oil and natural gas). The objective of petroleum engineers is to maximize the economical production from reservoirs while maintaining safety, efficiency and environmental stability.
