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.

Dear Admin, My cousin did B.Tech in Chemical Petroleum at LPU. Therefore I recommend LPU for this programme. Well, LPU is a good university when you compare it with other private universities and colleges. LPU has good placements. It provides ample opportunities to each and every of the eligible students to secure good placement. The university has been ranked high by outer agencies also with regard to placements of our students. ASSOCHAM (Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India) rated LPU as Best Private University with regards to placements. LPU offering B.Tech (CHE_- PETROLEUM) programme provides a strong foundation of the different facets of the Petroleum Engineering discipline, to develop an analytical insight among the students, that will equip them towards taking up leading roles in academia, industry and entrepreneurship. Good Luck.

Hello! Every credible energy expert believes that the foreseeable national and global energy future, like the present, will be shaped predominantly by fossil energy. In spite of public perception, fossil fuels are, in fact, a blessing. Imagine a world without airplanes, automobiles, trucks to deliver goods, tractors to plow fields, factories to make goods, asphalt highways on which to deliver goods, plastics, cosmetics, clean-burning energy delivered to the home in pipes. Petroleum engineering plays a major role in shaping the modern society by providing advanced technology to keep the supply and demand of crude oil MET at the national and at the global level. Petroleum industry has always enjoyed a powerful status in shaping societies in the past and is expected to do so in foreseeable future. You can work hard and play hard too as an engineer. While the Engineering programme at Lovely Professional University is rigorous, LPU understands the value of a balanced education. Being an LPU Alumni, I can say that LPU has experienced faculty members, well-equipped labs, great infrastructure, excellent placements, complete training and placement assistance and lot more and that too at a very low fees and high scholarships. Eligibility for admission at LPU is 60% in Class 12th with English, Physics and Maths and LPU NEST. If you fulfill this eligibility criteria then you can get admission in LPU. The university is equipped with the latest technologies delivering the most effective methods of teaching in its spacious campus. LPU provides an environment where students are enlightened through the extensive array of learning methodologies. Highly qualified teaching staff combined with the best laboratories and modern technologies makes LPU the best place to pursue your engineering. LPU also encourage students to study abroad, attend conferences and participate in internships during their time. At LPU faculty work closely with students to make sure they gain more of practical learning as well. Lovely Professional University provides leading industry software, research experience starting as early as freshman year, weekly seminar series to interact with experts in the field, an emphasis on communication skills, and guidance from faculty on internships and job placements. Graduates from LPU go into the field with experience using the tools that many others don't get until graduate school. I hope this helps. All the best. !

The courses in Petroleum engineering are offered both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Like the degree program of any other engineering branches, the B.Tech program in Petroleum Engineering also requires a minimum + 2 qualification in Science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Maths with high percentage of marks in aggregate. M. Tech (Petroleum Engineering) is offered by Indian School of Mines University, Dhanbad. The course is open to Petroleum, Petrochemical, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering graduates. Non Petroleum Engineering graduates have to undergo some introductory papers. One can also pursue PhD program after completing post-graduation studies. The research career is tough but rewarding.

To become a petroleum engineer, you must have a Bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering. Candidates possessing a Bachelor's degree in mechanical or chemical engineering can also work in this field but a Bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering is preferred first. Petroleum Engineering is purely centered on integrated approaches of Sciences and Engineering practices in the Oil & Gas Industry. This involves technological undertakings and emphasis of the same in the application of the concepts in Petroleum Exploration, Drilling, Production, Reservoir Engineering, Pipeline Engineering, Refinery Operations, LNG Value Chain, Petrochemicals and Natural Gas Processing. 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. Keeping this in mind, bifurcated options of Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream subjects are offered in specialised pathways of this programme. The broad curriculum of Petroleum Engineering offers courses in Reservoir Engineering and Management, Production Engineering Operations, Drilling and Well Completion Practises, Enhanced Oil Recovery. The salient features of this course are:- Highly qualified faculty Well established laboratories Curriculum as per need of industry faculty members from IITs. Field visits Industrial Training Industry Oriented courses Recent trends input in curriculum Diversified syllabi Structured pathway for Upstream, Midstream and Downstream Economics and Management related courses Interaction with IIT faculty members Interaction with Industrial resources person Workshops, Webinar& Conferences Department support for International Seminars and Conferences Guest Lectures Industrial visits Executive development programme Community Development Project Guidance for Higher studies Research orientation Experiential Learning Project Some of the companies where students are working are Indian oil Hindustan Petroleum Reliance petroleumONGC Bharat Petroleum Accenture India HMEL Refinery IOCLP Reliance Petrochemicals Reliance Mfg. Reliance Industries limited HOEL BPRL etc.
