BTech Petroleum Engineering is a four year undergraduate programme that deals with the production of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons form the basis of crude oil, natural gas, coal and other energy resources. During this course, students are given theoretical as well as practical knowledge with the help of practicals, presentations and seminars. It helps the students in detailed understanding of the physical properties of oil, gas and water along with its exploration and processing. B. Tech Petroleum is the study and discovery of natural reservoirs and petroleum deposits located inside the earth.

BTech Petroleum is different from other branches of BTech such as Civil, Mechanical, Computer Science etc. This course trains the students and inculcate professional practice in the field of petroleum technology. The demand for this course is arising gradually as the need for the petro engineers is too high due to the scarcity of natural resources and reservoirs which need to have a proper management. The activities involves development of equipment to extract oil and gas, making plans to drill in oil and gas fields; developing ways to inject water, chemicals, gases, or steam into an oil reserve; keep an eye at oilfield equipment installation, operation and maintenance.

Candidates seeking admission in this course must have passed 10+2 with a minimum of 50% from a recognized board and Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main subjects.

After completing BTech Petroleum Engineering , graduates can explore in various places and find jobs domestically and internationally with high salary and perks.

The Master of Business Administration (BTECH PETROLEUM ENGINEERING)  eligibility criteria is mentioned below:

• • • Candidates must have acquired a minimum of 50% in 10+2 from a recognized university.
    • The compulsory subjects in 10+2 are Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
    • The minimum age for admission in BTech Petroleum course is 17years and upper age limit for pursuing this course is 23years.

After completing BTech Petroleum engineering, graduates get various opportunities in private companies as well as PSU’s. Graduates get recruited either by on-campus or off- campus process. Jobs are offered by various Petroleum and crude oil manufacturing and management companies with a handsome salary. Engineers explore  new techniques to extract oil and gas. They design computer simulations to predict the petroleum and natural flow on the site and areas considered as the right hand of the oil and gas company. They help in the extraction and making it fit for human use. Students can also pursue Master’s Degree after completing BTech to gain more skills and experience.

Listed below are some of the profiles in which candidates get recruited:

• Reservoir Engineer
• Drilling Engineer
• Production Engineer
• Completion Engineer

BTech Petroleum Engineers are offered very attractive and handsome salary. They earn salary ranging from Rs. 2 lakh to Rs.10 lakh per annum. Scores obtained by students in B.Tech play an important role during the placement process. Salaries of the engineers also increase as per their profile and experience in the same field.
