  1. Petroleum Engineering Paulus obey DAPCEP 3/29/14

  2. Description • A petroleum engineer is involved in nearly all of the stages of oil and gas field evaluation, development and production. The aim of their work is to maximize hydrocarbon recovery at minimum cost while maintaining a strong emphasis on reducing environmental impact.

  3. Petroleum engineers are divided into several groups

  4. Petroleum Geologists • who find hydrocarbons by analyzing subsurface structures with geological and geophysical methods.

  5. Reservoir engineers • who work to optimize production of oil and gas via proper well placement, production levels and enhanced oil recovery techniques. They use computer simulations to assist in the identification of risks and to make forecasts on reservoir potential.

  6. Production engineers • who manage the interface between the reservoir and the well through such tasks as perforations, sand control, artificial lift, down hole flow control and down hole monitoring equipment. They also select surface equipment that separates the produced fluids.

  7. Drilling engineers • who manage the technical aspects of drilling both production and injection wells. They work in multidisciplinary teams alongside other engineers, scientists, drilling teams and contractors.

  8. Texas tech university • Texas Tech University was created by legislative action in 1923 and has the distinction of being the largest comprehensive higher education institution in the western two-thirds of the state of Texas. The university is the major institution of higher education in a region larger than 46 of the nation’s 50 states and is the only campus in Texas that is home to a major university, law school and medical school.
