I have a Bachelor on Criminal Justice but didn't like it . Started working 2012 in the Gas and Oil Field between Louisana, Texas, Mississippi, South and North Carolina and several other places. Thinking about getting directly into the field. Been working throu subcontractors. Done Painting, Insulation, Fireproofing, Carpentry, and currently am a Safety Specialist (COSS) for a good company. I love the field. Wish I would've known sooner and would have not spent many years on my bachelor. I'm hesitant because I'm old, I'm 36 and I'm not sure if I want to dedicate more years and money on another Bachelor degree. Still thinking . . . Might do an Associate on Process Technology, I don't know.
What are the roles normally given to girls in petroleum industry? I am praying that someday in the near future I will be a successful petroleum engineer.
Just a basic introduction to the industry. You'd likely review common equipment such as a drilling rig, various operations, general petroleum geology, etc... Would also likely do some basic calculations like original oil in place (OOIP).
Hey… I’m very greatful for your video… but I wanted to ask what can one do if they didn’t do chemistry for their A’level and are going to take Petroleum engineering at uni? Am I doomed?
Dear sir, I'm completed bachelor of engg (BE) in petroleum engineering (4 years) In india. What can i study next? I have no idea sir. I want your help.
Video is great thumbs up for that. I'm from India and completed 4 yr BTech petroleum engineering. How can i get a job in oilfield in the U.S ? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your feedback. The specific classes are going to depend on the college. Sebastian gave a few good common examples that everyone should have though. What questions do you have about challenges? I can do another video if you give me some specifics of what you're looking for.
I'm a sophomore in high schools and my school only offers robot and computer engineering classes, nothing to do with chemicals or petroleum. What classes would you recommend I take to best prepare myself for a Petroleum Engineering career? Im already going to take AP Calculus my Junior year and AP Statistics my Senior year.
Thanks for the questions Red. You don't have to stress too much about taking the perfect mix of classes. Sounds like you're already on the right track with the AP classes. Focus on showing proficiency in math and science classes. That type of reasoning/thinking/analytical ability will propel you. However, soft skills are proving to be just as important to a successful engineer. Get good at presenting. If you can take any college credit courses through dual enrollment (if your state offers that), that might be a great idea also. Anyways, if you've got a good GPA and test scores, you shouldn't have any issue getting into the petro college of your choice. Does that help?
If you really want to set yourself apart, get yourself out there into our industry early. Do some shadowing or get a summer job (if you've got industry around you).
@@OilfieldBasics Yes, thank you so much. My state ( Kentucky ) does not have many Petroleum opportunities, but I could most likely find some form of job shaddowing in the field or a similar one this summer.
@@carterhall7699 No problem. Yep, shadowing is the best thing you can do besides be a good student. Also, if you've got family in a location where operations are more prevalent, consider living there a summer and finding a job. Otherwise, there'll be plenty of time for that when your in college.
sorry we got cutoff...the "premiere" ended. We might be able to continue it if you become a "friend" on here haha. youtu.be/addme/ZQwAfKT9Ed1u20-u_CadM0gD872_Xw

What is the marketable course for a masters student to take, I mean the one which is good but people run away from it because it's hard,or what can you advice me because am done with degree am looking forward for masters degree in the same major of petroleum and gas engineering.
what if the college doesnt provide petroleum engineering specifically but you still want to go into that field? what is the second best major to major in? please lmk
If you actually want to be a petroleum engineer, then it might be best to just transfer to a school that offers it. However, the closest engineering type would likely be chemical. I've worked with a handful of chemical engineers that have a PE role, but usually they specialize in different areas, but it depends on the company. Chemical engineering isnt a bad way to go cause it'll also give you more options for when oil and gas is down.
Hi I’m a sixth grader in Virginia and I would like to pursue petroleum engineering I would like to know all the right steps to take when I apply for college to take the right courses if so could you please get back with me.
In this current market, no. But it's a very cyclical industry. Right now, we're in a bust cycle. Supply is high and demand is low. If you're thinking about going to college for it though, remember you're 4+ years out. How different will the market look then?
Hey jj! Hard to say which college is the best. A&M, UT Austin is typically noted as being the top 2. There's schools all across the country and you can find lists online. The biggest deciding factors for us was the location and class size (school type). That's why we chose Marietta College. You can always try and talk with alumni on Linkedin about a school you're interested in.
Sir plzz tell me the website u told in the video i m not getting it what u spoke in last about website ??? Plzz sir i want to take petroleum engineering ...

What is better to take petroleum engineering or pet. geoscience or pet. geology? Which is ultimately the best?
I'd say it depends on what type of career you'd like to have. Do you want to be an engineer or a geologist?
@@OilfieldBasics thanks.

Hey your videos are good could I please know the subjects for petroleum engineering 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Best explaination
Okay so if I major in civil engineering will I be able to get a petroleum engineering job?
Or do I specifically have to take petroleum?
I am doing mechanical engineering
And I intend to petroleum eng as my masters
Do i need to know about the electri circuit in petroleum Engineering??
It will likely come up in a general engineering class - possibly multiple times.
Is it possible for aid and to do the classes online due to i work in the production and completion side .also having a newborn
