What is the scope of Petroleum Engineering?

Hi, * Scope : Petroleum engineers are employed in jobs which are mainly concentrated in oil and gas extraction, professional, scientific and technical services and petroleum refining. Graduates get recruited in government companies like the Indian Oil, Oil India Limited, HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited), BP (Bharat Petroleum) and ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation). One can also entail the option of working as a scientist/researcher to carry out the R&D processes. Employment is rest assured for graduates in this sector as the number of graduates passing out is always less than the number of jobs available. * Remuneration : Remuneration depends on various parameters such as size of the organization, profile, qualification, experience, etc. But, still, to give you a brief idea, in India, Petroleum Engineers are paid a monthly salary of Rs.25, 000 - Rs.40, 000 apart from other perks and benefits. Petroleum Engineers are among the highest paid salary professionals in India compared to some of the other discipline of engineers. The reason is to attract qualified workers to this industry. Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish You Luck!
