Petroleum engineers focus on the extraction of oil and gas. They design and develop methods for efficient and safe extraction, working on reservoir modeling, drilling techniques, and production optimization. They often collaborate with geologists and other engineers to maximize resource recovery. Petroleum engineering is a core discipline within the oil and gas industry.

• Key Skills: Reservoir simulation, drilling engineering, production optimization, well testing, and project management.
• Job Outlook: Strong demand due to the continued need for energy resources, especially in regions with significant oil and gas reserves.
