Chemical & Petroleum About

Chemical Engineers design and develop processes that transform the physical and chemical state of a substance, suiting commercial applicability. It ranges from improving food processing to fertilizers to even the clothes we wear. Modern-day chemical engineers also work on pioneering concepts like nanotechnology. A specialization in chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, deals with optimizing the extraction of oil and gas from the surface of the earth. Petroleum engineers implement methods that maximize the extraction of hydrocarbons efficiently with the least environmental repercussions.

Career Roles & Responsibilities

A petrochemical engineer is involved in designing means and mechanisms for excavating and digging up crude oil and gas from the earth. A petrochemical engineer's role includes a lot of involvement in chemical engineering phenomena like heat transfer, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, etc.

A petroleum engineer is involved in the process of extracting oil and natural gas from reservoirs. They may be drilling engineers, production engineers, or reservoir engineers. In all these stages, a petroleum engineer uses petrophysics knowledge to ensure that all drilling operations are conducted accurately and efficiently while complying with laws and environmental standards. These engineers are team leaders and often work with other engineers, scientists, and platform laborers.

Petroleum engineers typically do the following:

  • Design equipment to extract oil and gas in the most profitable way
  • Develop ways to inject water, chemicals, gases, or steam into an oil reserve to force out more oil
  • Develop plans to drill in oil and gas fields, and then to recover the oil and gas
  • Evaluate the production of wells through testing and surveys
  • Recording and updating information on all drilling activities
  • Use computer-controlled drilling or fracturing to connect a larger area of an oil and gas deposit to a single well
  • Make sure that oil field equipment is installed, operated, and maintained properly
  • Overlooking the removal of all waste and equipment from drill sites
  • Taking responsibility for safety and efficiency
  • Determining the most productive locations

George E Davis
George E Davis
George E Davis is often regarded as the ‘founding father’ of chemical engineering, No list of chemical engineers is complete without him. George shaped the world of chemical engineering as it emerged in the late 1800s; with George coining the term ‘chemical engineering’. The first chemical engineering course was delivered by George at the University of Manchester in 1887 in the form of 12 lectures covering various aspects of industrial chemical practice – this kick-started the revolution that spawned generations of world-changing chemical engineers.
