Petroleum production engineering is a subset of petroleum engineering. Petroleum production engineers design and select subsurface equipment to produce oil and gas well fluids . [ 1 ] They often are degreed as petroleum engineers , although they may come from other technical disciplines (e.g., mechanical engineering , chemical engineering ...
After World War II ended in 1945, the countries of the Middle East took the lead in oil production from the United States. Important developments since World War II include deep-water drilling, the introduction of the drillship, and the growth of a global shipping network for petroleum – relying upon oil tankers and pipelines. In 1949 the ...
LONDON -- In this edition, David Kuo and veteran oil and gas expert Malcolm Graham-Wood discuss the resources industry and potential winners from the sector. Companies in the spotlight include BP ...
In geology, a petroleum play, or simply a play, is a group of oil fields or prospects in the same region that are controlled by the same set of geological circumstances. [1] The term is widely used in the realm of exploitation of hydrocarbon-based resources.

The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major sectors: upstream (also called exploration and production or E&P), midstream and downstream. [1] [2] The upstream sector includes searching for potential underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields, drilling exploratory wells, and subsequently operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil or raw natural gas ...
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. [1] Exploration and production are deemed to fall within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry.
In recent years, the Gulf of Mexico alone accounted for about 15% of all domestic oil production and 2% of domestic natural gas production. Despite some fluctuations due to new deep-water discoveries and technological advancements, offshore production continues to play a crucial role in the U.S. energy landscape. [1]
