Petroleum Engineering

Placements: About 45% of the students got placed at different companies like Maersk, Shell, Hapag Lloyd, etc. There are also a lot of companies which are coming forward and giving students a lot of opportunities. The salary offered to them was from 15,000. The students were placed in various sectors also. Vels university is in Chennai. The best thing about the college is that you won't find a difference between the faculty member and students because the faculty members really help as they're one of our friends. Many guys will say many things about many colleges so best is what you see not you hear. I saw the holy relationship between the faculty of the college and students. All the freshers out there just wanted to say one thing. Believe what you actually see not what you hear, thousands of minds will give thousands of thoughts so it's on you because it's your life.

Petroleum engineering is the branch of the science in which the process of extraction of crude oil and natural gas available on the deposits found bellow the earth's surface is studied. A petroleum engineer basically design and develop the method through which oil and gas can be extracted from the deposits found below the earth surface. Once the oil and gas is discovered, a petroleum engineer work with geo scientists to understand the geologic formation of the earth surface and then they decide which drilling method should be used, they implement the drilling plan and monitors the drilling operation.
It is becoming most popular course in the field of technical education nowadays. In this course, the focus is on wide range of topics including geochemistry, geophysics, geomechanics, economics, geopolitics, tectonics, thermodynamics, knowledge management, oil and gas production and pipelines. There are undergraduate and post graduate course in petroleum engineering offered by number of colleges/universities in India. In these course, students study about the designing aspects of gas and oil reservoirs which are used for storage and transportation. These courses make them aware of the process of drilling the earth's surface for refining petroleum products.
