Petrochemical engineering is a specialized branch of Chemical Engineering which deals with the operations of refining and petrochemical technology. The term petrochemical refers to the organic chemicals which are obtained directly or indirectly from crude petroleum. It is the task of the petrochemical engineers to discover natural sources of oil, extract them from the earth, refine them and make it usable.
Petroleum engineering can be divided into two parts,
-upstream sector
-downstream sector
The upstream sector activities include exploration, production and exploitation of oil and natural gases.
The downstream sector consist activities such as the refining, marketing and distributing of petroleum products
