<p>can anyone please tell me what will an individual majoring in petroleum engineering study during the four years.
i just need the outlined introduction regarding the kind of studies.
i am very much familiar with everything else in petroleum engineering except the type of studies.</p>
<p>Chemistry and alchemy</p>
<p>thanks but i need more info.</p>
<p>ahh sorry. Well, in addition to organic chemistry and calculus and astrology, etc. Applied Botony will be a major focus. Basically, ur gonna test the chemical composition of plants in a specific area, to determine what kind of rock exists under the top soil. by doing this for several areas, u’ll know where to drill. Then, you will take all the potential drill points aND compose a horoscope for each one, allowing you to weed out unlucky spots. With the remining points, you will triangulate , which will allow u to determine the relative angles of each point (of course factoring the curvature of the earth).</p>
<p>PE primarily uses the fluid mechanics part of physics, since oil is a fluid. These involve partial differential, flow equations, and conservation of mass.</p>
<p>PE also uses watered down (nothing deep) geology, chemistry, economics, and even some computer programming (in Reservoir Simulation).</p>
