whole world how many years petroleum products used

Hello Aspirant

Petrol is one of the most significant commodity in the world today, not only because of its multiple usage but also because of its limited nature.

Petroleum products are materials derived from crude oil (petroleum) as it is processed in oil refineries. Petroleum products are complex mixtures.

A lot of major products around the world are either petroleum based or require petroleum in some form.

1. Gaseous Fuels such as propane

2. Liquid Fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, aviation turbine fuels

3. Lubricants

4. Paraffin Wax

5. Slack Wax

6. Sulfur

7. Tar

8. Asphalt

9. Petroleum Coke

10. Petrochemicals

Due to such importance of petroleum, one of the careers that shine bright is that of a petroleum engineer. This career has a very positive job growth in the future as more and more resources are facing scarcity.

Petroleum engineers typically do the following:

• Design equipment to extract oil and gas from onshore and offshore reserves deep underground
• Develop plans to drill in oil and gas fields, and then to recover the oil and gas
• Develop ways to inject water, chemicals, gases, or steam into an oil reserve to force out more oil or gas
• Make sure that oilfield equipment is installed, operated, and maintained properly
• Evaluate the production of wells through surveys, testing, and analysis

The following are examples of types of petroleum engineers:

· Completions engineers decide the best way to finish building wells so that oil or gas will flow up from underground. They oversee work to complete the building of wells—a project that might involve the use of tubing, hydraulic fracturing, or pressure-control techniques.

· Drilling engineers determine the best way to drill oil or gas wells, taking into account a number of factors, including cost. They also ensure that the drilling process is safe, efficient, and minimally disruptive to the environment.

· Production engineers take over wells after drilling is completed. They typically monitor wells' oil and gas production. If wells are not producing as much as expected, production engineers figure out ways to increase the amount being extracted.

· Reservoir engineers estimate how much oil or gas can be recovered from underground deposits, known as reservoirs. They study reservoirs' characteristics and determine which methods will get the most oil or gas out of the reservoirs. They also monitor operations to ensure that optimal levels of these resources are being recovered.

To become a petroleum engineer, you need to first complete your undergraduate degree in the same. There are a lot of diploma courses as well that you can opt for.

It is better if you pursue a career in petroleum engineering if you have interest in this as petroleum engineering is a difficult degree to pursue and without interests, it would be tough for the individual to focus accordingly.

I hope that I have answered your question.

Best of luck!
