Students in the petroleum engineering programme will be engaged on a holistic journey of the entire value chain of the O&G Industry beginning from the exploration of hydrocarbons to the supply of finished petroleum products to end users. Petroleum engineering education provides a wide spectrum of specialties to keep the industry running. These are reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, and production engineering to name a few. A reservoir engineer determines the oil in place and devises the most appropriate technology to produce the oil within the prevailing economic environment. LPU is the best place for petroleum engineering. Being an alumnus of LPU I can say LPU has made a good name for itself in a short time by working hard for its students in terms of education, faculty, placements, infrastructure, etc. It works for the overall development of its students. Its main aim is to provide students with enough exposure both in the form of theoretical and practical knowledge for which there is much emphasis on workshops, live projects, etc. I am sharing the latest ranking of the university. Rankings, Aspiring Minds presented the National Employability Award 2022 to LPU for being amongst the Top 10% Institutes in India that excelled in AMCAT for the 2nd consecutive year, basis the students performance. Cognizant recognized LPU for generating the highest No. Of Placement Offers in North India for the session 2020-21 with Cognizant. Capgemini recognised LPU for generating the highest No. of Placement Offers in North India for the session 2020-21 with Capgemini. Informatica recognised LPU as one of the Trusted University Hiring Partners, twice in a row for the session 2020-21. Robert Bosch Engineering Group (RBEI) Bosch recognised LPU for having the highest Number of Campus Selections in India for the year 2019-2020 with Bosch. Infosys appreciated LPU for its hard-work and committed efforts to bridge the gap between industry and academia. Hope this information is of some help to you! All the best!

Petroleum engineers have come a long way from just drilling a hole underground to produce oil by its natural energy, to very knowledgeable enhanced oil technology, to pushing oil from an injector well to a producer. There are even more challenging tasks ahead for a young graduate in petroleum engineering today. Petroleum engineering education provides a wide spectrum of specialties to keep the industry running. These are reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, and production engineering to name a few. A reservoir engineer determines the oil in place and devises the most appropriate technology to produce the oil within the prevailing economic environment.
