Engineering in petroleum is a lucrative course to pursue in the future. It has ever-growing scope not only in the year 2020 but for many to come. Doing this specialised course as your graduation will be highly beneficial for you in the coming years not only in India but also worldwide. 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 actually 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 economical environment. LPU is the best place for petroleum engineering. Being a student at LPU I can say LPU has made a good name for itself in a short span of 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. Along with classroom teaching. To impart quality education and training in petroleum engineering and associated fields to enable the students to imbibe technical and analytical skills through the culture of logical and critical thinking for students at LPU. To produce a sense of social and environmental responsibility among students which inspires them to apply chemical engineering principles in solving industrial problems through sustainable and eco-friendly technologies for the betterment of industry and nation. To establish modern infrastructure and a conducive research environment for carrying out academic and sponsored research. In terms of placement, LPU has made an excellent record. Some of the companies like Hindustan Petroleum Reliance petroleumONGC Bharat Petroleum Accenture India HMEL Refinery IOCLP Reliance Petrochemicals Reliance Mfg. Reliance Industries limited HOEL BPRL etc. Came to recruit.

Petroleum engineering is a niche field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas. India has very well developed Petrochemical Industry including petroleum and gas both in government and private sector. It is core sector with lot of government and big corporate houses support. Petroleum engineers have good scope in India and abroad. However, you must take into consideration that petroleum engineering has historically been one of the highest paid engineering disciplines, although there is a tendency for mass layoffs in private sector worldwide when oil prices decline.
