Petroleum Engineering (Ingenieria Petrolera) : Campo de Aplicación)

Petroleum engineering combines scientific and practical methods to discover, exploit, develop, transport, process, and treat hydrocarbons from reservoirs to final products. It uses principles from fields like physics, chemistry, and applied mathematics. Petroleum engineers work on multidisciplinary teams with geologists, geophysicists, chemists, and physicists to interpret data and develop optimal extraction methods using new technologies. The main areas of petroleum engineering include exploration, reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, and production engineering.

Petroleum engineering (Ingenieria Petrolera)

Petroleum engineering is the part of engineering that combines scientific


and practical methods aimed at developing techniques to discover,
exploit, develop, transport, process and treat hydrocarbons from their
natural state, in the reservoir, to final products or derivatives.

Knowledge areas (areas del saber)


Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry

Scope (Campo de aplicación)


Discover, exploit, develop, transport, process and treat and manage
hydrocarbons

Applied Science (Ciencias aplicadas)


The knowledge and techniques employed by petroleum engineers come
from almost all fields of science.The principles of Physics and Applied
Chemistry are used in all stages of hydrocarbon exploitation, from
exploration to conversion of these into consumer products.

Multidisciplinary teams (Equipos multidisciplinarios)


The oil industry is made up of multidisciplinary teams that work together
to find and produce the oil trapped underground. The petroleum
engineer has the ability to interpret the data received from geologists,
geophysicists, chemists and physicists, and to develop optimal methods
for the development of the deposits using all the new technologies
available.

Exploration (Exploracion)
The exploration task includes all the hydrocarbon search activities.
Fundamentally it is developed through the application of geophysical
prospecting methods and the elaboration of surface and subsoil maps by
geologists, with the aim of inferring about the configuration of the subsoil
strata and their composition, which can provide clues about the
existence of favorable environments for the accumulation of oil or natural
gas.

Reservoir engineering (Ingenieria de Yacimientos)


Reservoir engineering is one of the most important parts of petroleum
engineering, as it is the link between an oil or gas reservoir or reservoir
and surface production systems.

Drilling engineering (Ingenieria en Perforacion)


Design the drilling of wells, developing the particular programs or
designs of: augers; drill strings; casing pipes; control fluids; geophysical
records; production tests (if applicable); cementations; deviations (if
applicable); continuous record of hydrocarbons (if applicable); obtaining
nuclei (if applicable); fishing (in cases of mechanical accidents); well
control programs (in cases of lack of control); Well completion and tools
to use, both in exploratory and development wells.

Production engineering (Ingenieria en Produccion)


Production engineering is responsible for applying technical and
scientific knowledge to the transportation of resources from the field to
ports or refineries. They are in charge of the final stage in the
exploitation of hydrocarbons, which is the conversion of these into
commercial products of common use, which include fuels, medicines,
clothing, cosmetics, among others.
