Petroleum Engineering is basically drilling and producing petroleum and natural gas in an efficient‚ safe and profitable way. They also do a lot of planning‚ which includes looking for yields in production‚ cost of drilling and production‚ and simulating future oil field performance using computer modeling techniques. In addition‚ they design and apply recovery processes and equipment to optimize oil and gas production. Furthermore‚ they supervise the drilling of other operations in the field. Moreover
