I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a master's in petroleum engineering in 2003. I'm 43 now and retired. I got good at one thing Coil Tubing needed.
@@yunuserdem7007 Before taxes, when I was just on a coil crew, I was making around $4K-$7K per 2 weeks. When I went to the Middle East, I was making a day rate of $6.2K. I never worked offshore, but I know they made pretty good money too, more than just working on a land crew in the US.
I'm currently studying petroleum engineering,loving it, and almost every student i talk to in other engineering aspects say"oh oil and gas industry is going down bro, new sources and cleaner energy will be king". I knew what I was putting myself into and these video depicts my pov too
They are just being realistic especially with all the new policies and economic plans kicking in. It is pure facts. Look at ur top rig builders. Players like Keppel aint longer building rigs & making offshore windmills. Tell me that doesn't have an impact on the oil supply chain. But the good thing is, that means ull have less competition since these guys are gunning for cleaner energy jobs instead.
Its gonna be the most paid engineering career in the future those people saying its going down are dumb because that just means they’re gonna pay us more to work in that field lol
@Osatrox Interitus can I ask, is it a very physically demanding job? just asking bc I’m a relatively petite woman and am thinking about going into it, but wondering if you need to be physically strong etc
@@kittykitty_kat petrol engineer? Nope, not physically demanding. You are the one doing the planning, simulation etc and supervising ur crew. Even being a roughneck isnt a "physically" demanding job (as much as ppl make it sound so) but rather simply dangerous due to many hazards. Ure not directly carrying all the pipes lol even as a roughneck. U have machineries to assist u.
I always wanted to work as an environmental engineer but within oil and gas. ⛽ Now, i'm an environmental engineer, but not in oil and gas. I may look into it to see if there are any positions there or if i just made that up. 😅
There are other challenges as well. I have a 4.0 GPA as a master’s student, but can’t even find an internship. Now before anyone says GPA is not everything, I agree and I am not claiming it to be everything! I have worked on the field before I continued my grad studies, and there is a lot to learn by doing the job on the field first hand rather than the lab or the class room only. However, knowledge of how things works and how to design solution for problems that are encountered is very important! Hence it’s called petroleum “engineering” discipline, not petroleum economics, and not petroleum social networking. A sad fact is when you apply to any job as an engineer, the first thing you need is not to know what you do but who you know and your connection to get just an interview and progress in the job market. Student try to get to make connections before even trying to study their own lectures. The standards of the industry are flipped. Having to show up to school for 4 years and then 2 years at least for graduate school and do your assignments and study the given material reflects at the very least the level of commitment and dedication an employer can expect from a student. Besides that the level of knowledge counts! Anyone who says that it doesn’t count is obviously a person who doesn’t really have interest in petroleum engineering but in the money itself!
Go get a CDL, bust your ass on a frac crew. Don't even tell them about your degree until you've been there a year. Work your way into the data van as a stimulation engineer. Then find your way into a completions engineer/superintendent spot with an operating company.
I wanna get into computer engineering and just know how to make cool shit in general Im starting off studying it at age 11 so hopefully I'll be a great engineer some day then I wanna learn Russian and finish learning German and move to Germany if my engineering successful in america
not a petroleum engineer but consider we are still burning and using coal, the renewables don't really work and are not economic without subsidies for the manufacturer and customer. petroleum is not going away any time soon.
I have a Question, there is a Device that you guys use that uses Radio Waves to find Oil under the Ground. There is a story in California that someone was using this Device near the Fault Line and it caused an Earth Quake. IS that Possible? Do you know about this technology I am talking about?
@@arsh0189 First of all, my Question was reaching out to the Engineers to CONFIRM IF the Device I was talking about EXISTS? YES OR NO? That was my First Question. To answer YOUR Question as to HOW a Device like the one in Question can Possibly cause a Earth Quake?, it works in the same way that a Cardboard Box and Generate Sound from Sympathetic Vibrations, or in the same way a Guitar Box Amplifies the tiny Frequencies generated from the Metal Strings. The Frequencies generated from the Device that Detects Oil under the Ground, causes Sympathetic Vibrations in the Ground that get bigger and bigger until it creates an Earth Quake. But the Location that this allegedly occurred was near the San Andres Fault Line. The REASON for my Question was because I was researching the Technology behind the HAARP Weapon, and one of the Key Moments in the History of Creating this Weapon was this Event that Happened in California. But since then all Records of that Event have been Covered up. So I am going back to the Drawing Board and Asking DOES THIS DEVICE EVEN EXIST??? THAT was my Question!
@@marksawesomeadventuresvery late response. But I believe what you’re talking about is a sonic logging tool or possibly a resistivity logging tool. Sonic logs work by sending vibrations through reservoirs and use the transient time that it takes to receive feedback from the reservoir to estimate subsurface porosity. Those are definitely not the cause of the earthquakes. Many times earthquakes along fault lines that occur due to oil and gas operations involve some sort of fluid injection for enhanced oil recovery or water disposal.
Do you really like Reservoir? If so then choose RE & Management. Otherwise just pick PE as it covers Drilling and Production too. So it depends on what is ur passion
After being in the game for almost two decades on the production side, all I can say is that I despise engineers with a passion, especially those with no field experience.
Two decades, production, hates engineers…. You sound like the typical head brake operator for some typical no name company 😂 Someone let you handle a pump change on your own and now you know it all Lmao
@@trey8543 ah i totally know this type of guys...the ones who think they know better than the engineers just because their hands are "dirtier"...yet comes up with some broscience explanation when it comes to blowouts.
Petroleum engineer is cool, but I decided to be the I.T guy on the Oil rigs which honestly was the best, because now I am a cybersecurity engineer. And trust me no degree.

Realistic viewpoints 👍
Could you make a Video on the last point and the future of the industry ?
can you please make a video regarding the best options for chemical engineers ?
Any updates
I'm 16 and I really think this is the job for me. But I'm concerned that there won't be a need for me as a petroleum engineer in the future
Maybe study chemical engineering? Or try to talk to petroleum engineers, maybe befriend them and one day when you graduate they’ll recommend you?
not a petroleum engineer but consider we are still burning and using coal, the renewables don't really work and are not economic without subsidies for the manufacturer and customer. petroleum is not going away any time soon.
Not our lifetime man
I completely agree!!! I did left the industry, and also I made youtube video on my channel on why people should avoid it!!

Hey I am stuck between choosing between an MSC in petroleum engineering and Msc in Reservoir evaluation and management. Please help thanks
Do you really like Reservoir? If so then choose RE & Management. Otherwise just pick PE as it covers Drilling and Production too. So it depends on what is ur passion
@@abiajis8506 Thank you very much, I am going with the Petroleum Engineering
Is it safe for women to choose petroleum engineering for masters after chemical,are they willing to provide jobs for women as well easily like men do
So if you are good at finding oil do you get gifts from the oil company? Like a lambo or something.
gg
Where do I sign?
What is difference between oil and petroleum engineering??
Great talk bro
How is oil and gas engineering masters in coventry university,how is job market for this particular masters in UK
Wdym by moving like for the job and where it is or like traveling places for the job?
Totally depends on the type of job you get. Some folks travel and/or move quite often. Others might stay in the same place for their entire career.
After being in the game for almost two decades on the production side, all I can say is that I despise engineers with a passion, especially those with no field experience.
Any particular pet peeves?
Wait, you despise them with a passion or you despise engineers who are passionate?
Two decades, production, hates engineers….

What if i'm in brunei?
Who can help me work as a commercial manager in the petroleum field, 18 years of experience
i dont know what to do
My chemistry teach just said oil and gas should be taken out
Plz how can I get addmission in Bs peroleum engineerin
I l9ve petroleum engineering so much
Anyone pls say me I have completed my btech in petroleum what skills should I learn ? And where should I do my ms ?
Do masters in IIT, then apply for ONGC/Adani energy
U right 😊
this is a lie.
there's a lot of work in petrol just be ready to move abroad. there's alot of work in other countries
I mean I’m seeing a good bit of jobs in the states too they just start at 60 or 70
Petroleum engineer is cool, but I decided to be the I.T guy on the Oil rigs which honestly was the best, because now I am a cybersecurity engineer. And trust me no degree.
How without degree
Can someone advise me about the universities? idk, everywhere there is chemical engineering,but I need petroleum engineering 🥲
my only strong bias is oil is epic, and "people" who disagree are cringe
the environment left the chat
yeah I just want the money
Fact
I have completed BE petrochemical engineering is there any vacancy
Ya in Saudi. Search for jobs in Saudi.
I mean you are destroying the earth though or atleast our Atmosphere or youre enablabling it to happen.
