Why I Chose Petroleum Engineering - Women of the Oilfield

[@TEMSInfluence]

Wow, I really agree with the point Adele made about the energy industry and the environment. As a fellow engineer, it’s also great to see women in STEM!

I’m a freshman in highschool and I am currently interestedly this major. I’m looking into it more than ever now and I can’t wait to learn more about this!

[@OilfieldBasics]

Great! Lmk your questions and maybe they'll be future videos! [e-mail]

[@whitneybourgeois1762]

I was doing research on why someone would choose to go into specifically petroleum engineering, and this was very helpful. Thank you for the video. Great job!

[@OilfieldBasics]

Great to hear!

[@gebbywoods]

Awesome infor guys..

Hi i join Bs petroleum and gas and i want to Master but i need some help which country i have to select and what i habe to do plz guide i from pakistan

[@ArvindKumar-bo1fe]

Hi! I also want to do petroleum engineering so can you please tell is b.tech is enough for it, and can i get jobs after completing by b.tech or not

[@dyyhhhuujhggy]

With BS in petroleum engineering is a good idea to do msc in mechanical engineering?

[@dbricksawc3634]

Is a master's worth it? or is an undergrad enough.

[@zth2023]

I hope someone answers this question. I am also curious.

Hey there, I’m a chemical and process engineering graduate from the U.K. and I would say that it’s particularly useful if you’re looking to become a chartered engineer. It’s actually required. A masters is usually expected if you want to go for an engineering graduate job, however there are also cases where it’s not needed, but you might hinder yourself in the future if you eventually decide to get chartered! I hope this helps although my advice is UK based!

It depends on what specific role you are pursuing, but in the US at least, the majority of students pursuing reservoir, production, drilling, completions engineering etc leave school with just a bachelors as that is enough to get your foot in the door at an operating company. If you’re looking to go into a more research or simulation orientated role (reservoir simulation engineer, R&D role etc) then a Master’s is typically always required. I recommend you look up job postings for the specific roles you have interest in and see if the majority of openings list if a Master’s is required or not!

I am in high school and I was planning on doing a petroleum engineer however I searched a lot and people who finished college as petroleum engineer ,they like do not have job right now so I like just wanted to know is petroleum engineer a good job to do considering that prices of oil will be so high ?

[@alanr70]

Yeah my cousins graduated and got a job 4 months later. Oil and gas dropped due to the pandemic because everyone stayed indoors and oil and gas was not needed so they kept making more and eventually had a surplus. It’s happens though but oil will always go back up. I have friends who work in the oilfield straight out of high school all you need is a diploma and then well they got laided off but are recently getting jobs again. Now as for my cousin with the PE degree nothing happened to him he never got laided off or anything
