Yes, companies in the oil and gas sector often provide on-the-job training. They organise workshops specifically for fresh graduates to familiarise them with company-specific processes and requirements.
Both fields have high demand in the energy sector but cater to different aspects of the industry. Petroleum engineering focuses on the exploration and extraction of natural resources, while chemical engineering deals with processing and refining chemicals. The choice depends on whether you are more interested in the upstream or downstream aspects of the energy industry.
Like many technical fields, petroleum engineering can be stressful, as it often involves decision-making under pressure, especially during offshore drilling or large-scale projects. However, the field offers lucrative packages and significant career growth opportunities, making it a rewarding career despite its challenges.
Petroleum Engineering : It involves finding and producing oil and gas. The course focuses on drilling, extraction, and ensuring energy resources are managed safely and efficiently.
Reasons to Study a BTech in Petroleum Technology and Engineering
The programme equips you with the skills to work in the energy sector. As demand for oil and gas increases, this course prepares you for a rewarding career in one of the world's most vital industries.
Curriculum : Petroleum Engineering and Technology BTech
The curriculum includes courses such as drilling engineering, reservoir engineering, and oil field management. It also covers topics on environmental impact, safety, and advanced technologies used in the petroleum industry.
Courses Comparison for BTech Petroleum Engineering and Technology
Petroleum Engineering specialises in extracting oil and gas, while other branches, like Chemical Engineering, focus on chemical processes. Petroleum Engineering is a more specialised field directly linked to energy resources.
