Petroleum engineering degrees are not very popular in India because of fewer universities offer admissions to the stream. During the first year of study in petroleum engineering students usually learn about basic engineering methods and techniques and from second year very specialized courses are offered that include Reservoir Studies, Gas Hydrates, Environmental Impact of Petroleum
Fluid Operation, Characterization of Crude oil, Development of Computer Software, Polymer Synthesis and Characterization, Profile Modification, Development of Novel Fracturing Fluid and such.

In this course student will learn subsurface activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas. The two key area of learning will be oil exploration and processing of crude oils. Oil refining and distribution are also thought in this course of engineering.

Petroleum engineering course offers wonderful job opportunities at global and domestic levels. Opportunities in oil and gas sector are ample in Middle East with very high annual income packages. Higher education opportunities are good all over America and Europe too. Reliance Industries Ltd., ONGC, Schlumberger, Shell, OIL, Gas Authority of India Ltd., British Gas, Halliburton Services, Essar Oil, GSPC, Cairn Energy, IOCL, Essar Oil Ltd., Baker Hughes, Reliance Energy are firms ready to hire Petroleum Engineers.
