Petroleum Engineering is not a narrowly focused engineering discipline. A petroleum engineer must have a good understanding of basic engineering, the natural sciences, and mathematics, in addition to petroleum engineering and an earth science background. Graduate studies are an excellent avenue to be involved in multi-disciplinary studies and to gain a better understanding of the complexities of petroleum reservoirs.
Research
