What is the difference between Petrochemical and Petroleum Engineering will you please tell me that???????

[Kiran Chandar]

As you want to know the difference between Petrochemical and Petroleum engineering so, here for you I am providing you the same.

Petrochemicals engineering:

Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum. It is involved in development, recovery and processing of petrol. In this engineers are interested in converting petroleum into useful products ranging from gasoline to plastics and other chemicals.

Here for you I am providing you the pay scale of Petroleum Engineering:

Here for you I am providing you the sources which are used in hydrocarbon to produce petrochemicals.


Petroleum engineering:

Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons which can be either crude oil or natural gas. This is completed through the design, drilling and operation of wells and well systems, and the integrated management of the underground reservoirs in which the resources are found.

In this courses some of the degrees also offered.

Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering
Minor in Petroleum Engineering
Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering
Master of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering
Doctor of Philosophy in Petroleum Engineering

Here for you I am providing you the pay scale of Petroleum Engineering:

Median Salary $130,280 per annum
Entry-level education Bachelor’s degree
On-the-job training No
Primary employers Oil and gas extraction
Number of positions (U.S.) 38,500
Job Growth (2010-2020) 26% (Much Faster Than the Average Job)
New positions (2010-2020) +9,800

Here for you I am providing you the image of map used by reservoir engineers to determine where to drill a well.



I think that this will helpful to you……..
