Petroleum Engineering
Petroleum Engineering positions are available all over the world, and are in high demand. With the insatiable appetite of the world for gas (petrol, diesel, etc) the field of petroleum engineering is very lucrative as well as challenging. It deals with the production of crude oil or natural gas. With recent improvements in computer modeling and new technologies like ’horizontal drilling’ and ’enhanced oil recovery’ the tools at the disposal of petroleum engineers have drastically improved.
There are a lot of different types of petroleum engineers like reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, production engineers including subsurface engineers. All these engineers need the skill and support of a good ground staff of supervisors, workers etc.
Historically petroleum engineering has been one of the highest paid fields of engineering. With an average salary of $125,220 per year, the 2010 National Association of Colleges and Employers survey showed that petroleum engineers were the highest paid graduates of that year. With the current boom in the oil industry, there is a lot of opportunity for jobs in the oil sector. Go to WorkOilField.com for more details.
