BS Petroleum Engineering
Program information
Program overview
Petroleum engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the drilling recovery production and distribution of petroleum and natural gas It includes knowledge of the properties of fluids and rocks in surface and subsurface environments as well as methods of exploiting the economic production of oil and gas from petroleum reservoirs A major subdivision at KU is reservoir engineering or the development of processes to improve production from oil and gas reservoirs Reservoir engineers use sophisticated mathematical techniques and computer technology to obtain optimum production Through such techniques petroleum engineers continue to extract oil and gas from reservoirs that only a few years ago would have been considered uneconomical This branch of engineering is somewhat different from the other in that production is far removed from physical observation
