You should pursue a course in petroleum or energy engineering. Since new technologies and new modes of energy development are being invented, it is going to offer excellent opportunities in the near future. And to pursue an engineering programme in petroleum and energy studies, you may join Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gujarat. Visit its profile to explore the course, campus, and admission process. https://www.shiksha.com/university/pandit-deendayal-energy-university-pdeu-gandhinagar-54332.

Petroleum Engineering covers Chemistry and geology to extract oil and gas from under the earth's surface. Chemical engineering is a broader category than petroleum engineering. It covers the production and use of many types of chemicals. Chemical engineers use Chemistry to develop fuel, food, drugs and new substances. Both petroleum and chemical engineering are considered some of the most valuable degrees in India & abroad. But I recommend you to pursue Chemical Engineering out of these two courses. A Chemical Engineer could work in Petroleum sector as well. Chemical engineers can be employed in both the public and private sectors.

Both petroleum and chemical engineering are considered some of the most valuable degrees in India & abroad. But I recommend you to pursue Chemical Engineering out of these two courses. A Chemical Engineer could work in Petroleum sector as well. Chemical engineers can be employed in both the public and private sectors. Some sample job titles for chemical engineers are:
Process engineer
Fire and explosions engineer
Biochemical engineer
Food processing engineer
Pharmaceutical engineer
Continuous improvement engineer
Thermo-fluid engineer
Chemical technologist
Adhesives engineer
Being alumni of Lovely Professional University I must say, it's the best place to pursue your Chemical Engineering Degree. LPU do provide innovative pedagogy with most upgraded curriculum in perspective to advanced industry trends. In LPU, this programme provides a strong foundation of the different facets of the Chemical Engineering discipline, to develop an analytical insight among the students, that will equip them towards taking up leading roles in academia, industry and entrepreneurship. (A) Industry Interface:
1) Tie ups with industry
2) Content delivery by industry experts
3) Projects in collaboration with industry
4) Internships to engage deeply in hands on real-life situations (B) INDUSTRIAL TRAINING:
Allow students to develop specific training oriented towards practicality and hands on exposure in the industrial process. (C) INDUSTRY CO-OPT PROJECT-II
Provide vital experiential learning opportunity, an educational strategy that links classroom learning and student interest with the acquisition of knowledge in an applied work setting like a company, industry, non-profit, governmental, or community-based organisation. Engineering Minor: POLYMER TECHNOLOGY, UPSTREAM, ENERGY, PHARMACEUTICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
Last Year (Till Date) Placement Record of Chemical Engineering of LPU till date (In spite of present pandemic situation):
the highest package Offered :31 LPA (CODE NATION)
Student also availed: 4.19 LPA (Wabag)
Majority students are on internships subject to PPO (Pre-Placement Offer)
Hope this helps !

If you are debating whether you should do petroleum or chemical engineering, you should first align your interests. Fortunately, you get plenty of career opportunities to explore in both. However, there are two specializations in petroleum Upstream and gas stream. In upstream, you develop skills for exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Whereas, in gas stream specialisation you develop skills for extraction, transformation, and recovery of economically useful materials. After graduation in Applied Petroleum Engineering with specialisation in Upstream, you can pursue a career in
MWD Engineer (Measurement While Drilling)
Production

After graduation in Applied Petroleum Engineering with specialisation in Upstream, you can pursue a career in
MWD Engineer (Measurement While Drilling)
Production Engineer
Reservoir Engineer
Drilling Engineer
Well Logging Engineer
Well Testing Analyst
Mud Logging Engineer
After graduation in Applied Petroleum Engineering with specialisation in the gas stream, you can pursue a career in
Refining Engineer
Petrochemical Engineer
Production Engineer
Process Design Engineer
Shift Engineer
Chemical Equipment Engineer
Consultant (pollution control, finance, audit, waste management, etc. )
When it comes to chemical engineering, you develop skill sets that help you understand and apply the best global practices in the fields of natural gas processing, gas transportation, and gas utilization techniques. Careers that you can pursue after graduating in this field are:
Production Engineer
LNG Production & Handling Engineer
Reservoir Engineer
PNG, CNG Operation & Distribution Engineer
Pipeline Transportation Engineer
Natural Gas Modeling & Simulation Engineer
Well Stimulating Engineer
Both these fields have fruitful careers ahead. However, it is essential that you choose a good university to do your B.Tech from. Some universities like UPES, offers these courses as a specialisation under their school of engineering. They even have with specialisation in Refining & Petrochemicals when it comes to Chemical engineering. It gives students get plenty of industrial exposure along with the carefully articulated curriculum. Make sure that you make the right choice according to your interests and career prospects of the course.
