工学（荣誉）石油工程

石油工程师站在确保我们以安全和环境可持续的方式拥有大量石油和天然气供应的最前沿。随着全球对能源的持续需求，没有更多的时间来当石油工程师了。石油工程公司致力于勘探和开采碳氢化合物，例如原油和天然气。石油工程师利用石油地质学，储层行为以及基本工程原理的创造性和想象力知识，为在极具挑战性的环境中被困在地下，陆上或海上的碳氢化合物产品的勘探，回收和运输开发有效而安全的解决方案。
Petroleum Engineers are at the forefront of ensuring that we have an abundant supply of oil and gas, in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner.We are the only University in Scotland that offers an undergraduate Petroleum Engineering degree and also a general engineering curriculum.<br>Petroleum Engineering is concerned with the exploration for and extraction of hydrocarbons, e.g. crude oil and natural gas. Petroleum Engineers use creative and imaginative knowledge of petroleum geology, reservoir behaviour as well as fundamental engineering principles to develop effective and safe solutions for the exploration, recovery and transportation of hydrocarbon products trapped underground, onshore or offshore, and in very challenging environment.<br>Petroleum engineers work with geologists and other engineers to ensure the safe recovery, processing, transportation, transmission, and utilisation of petroleum products often in challenging environments. In addition to the technical petroleum engineering skills, petroleum engineers learn skills in project management, project economics and environmental impact assessment. It is unsurprising therefore that petroleum engineers are highly sought after by both energy and non-energy companies worldwide, and are amongst the best-paid compared to other engineering disciplines.<br>Aberdeen is internationally recognised as a major international energy city and is leading the way in applying world-class technical expertise to the energy transition challenge. According to the Royal Academy of Engineering, Aberdeen is one of 13 engineering hot spots in the UK with over 8,000 engineering businesses across the city and the surrounding region. The School of Engineering has strong links with the energy industry, including local, national and international organisations, who support our teaching through guest lectures and seminars, placement opportunities, site visits and<br>scholarships. The Aberdeen University chapter of the Society of Petroleum Engineers is one of the largest in the world. With more than 360 student chapters across the globe, the SPE make it easy for you to network with industry professionals and employers, benefit from technology discussions at SPE meetings and events, and receive society-sponsored scholarships. While oil and gas will continue to play an important role in meeting our energy needs for years to come, the knowledge and skills you will acquire as a petroleum engineer are also in high demand in the renewable energy sector, for example in geothermal energy and carbon capture and storage.
