Does petroleum engineering require a lot of math?
A bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering requires a substantial number of mathematics courses, including multiple levels of calculus, and courses in statistics, linear algebra and differential equations, as well as the math-intensive courses within the engineering major itself.
How much chemistry does Chemical Engineering involve?
Many people are unsure about the amount of chemistry involved in a chemical engineering degree. Ultimately, as with all engineering degrees, physics and maths are the most important elements of the course, with around 20\% of the course related to chemistry – particularly physical chemistry.
What high school classes do you take to become a petroleum engineer?
High school students who want to become petroleum engineers should take advanced courses in calculus, chemistry, earth science, computer science, English, and physics.
Why study Petroleum Engineering at OU?
Petroleum engineers work to ensure a balance between sustainability, efficiency, and affordability in the production of energy. OU petroleum engineering has state-of-the-art advanced research facilities that provide students with unparalleled opportunities to experience the future of oil and gas industry.
Where do petroleum engineers work?
Petroleum engineers generally work in offices or at drilling and well sites. Travel is frequently required to visit these sites or to meet with other engineers, oilfield workers, and customers. Large oil and gas companies maintain operations around the world; therefore, petroleum engineers sometimes work in other countries.
What is petrol engineering?
Petroleum engineering is the field of engineering that deals with the exploration, extraction, and production of oil.
