The proess to make oil is very simple so why are engineers unable to do this simple task?

The energy has to come from somewhere.The proess to make oil is very simple so why are engineers unable to do this simple task?
Is it ? Would you please enlighten us Scientists and Engineers about this simple task which took Mother Nature 100 Million years ?The proess to make oil is very simple so why are engineers unable to do this simple task?
Im sure they are working on it. It has probably been done already, the problem is the cost. It costs more to make it than it does to pump and refine the already made crude.
The cost of the process is definitely coming down, and for certain grades is already competitive with pumped petroleum, at least at the $70 per barrel level. The biggest disadvantage is that artificially made oils just don't offer the range of functions that natural petroleum does-fuel, plastic feedstock and so on, For further info, I'm copying the answer to your previously, related question:





Actually, this is a very good question. I've read several times about a pilot plant operation that renders organic waste into combustible oils and ash. The pilot plant was set up to use the many tons of turkey waste that had been going to a landfill every day. The process is a high temperature, high pressure reduction of the waste, with less than 25% of the recovered oils being used as process heat and for electricity generation. In other words, a self sustaining process, with a high oil yield and a huge volume reduction in landfill able waste. The last article I read was about a year ago, so I don't know if the process has progressed beyond the pilot plant stage or whether significant difficulties were encountered.


The only source I'm sure of is Popular Science, But I think I read about it in Scientific American as well

  • Does anybody remember who the chief Engineer was on the Exxon Valdez when the oil spill happened?

    The spill occured in the '80'sDoes anybody remember who the chief Engineer was on the Exxon Valdez when the oil spill happened?
    The oil tanker Exxon Valdez departed the Valdez oil terminal, Alaska at 9:12 pm March 23, 1989 with 53 million gallons of crude oil bound for California. A harbour pilot guided the ship through the Valdez Narrows before departing the ship and returning control to Captain Joseph Hazelwood, the ship's master. The ship maneuvered out of the shipping lane to avoid icebergs. Following the maneuver and sometime after 11 pm, Hazelwood departed the wheel house and was in his stateroom at the time of the accident. He left Third Mate Gregory Cousins in charge of the wheel house and Able Seaman Robert Kagan at the helm with instructions to return to the shipping lane at a prearranged point. Exxon Valdez failed to return to the shipping lanes and struck Bligh Reef at around 12:04 am March 24th, 1989. The accident resulted in the discharge of approximately 11 million gallons of oil, 20% of the cargo, into Prince William Sound.[1]Does anybody remember who the chief Engineer was on the Exxon Valdez when the oil spill happened?

    What will drilling engineer do if oil is depleted?

    If oil depletes, we'll drill for more natural gas. If gas depletes also, we'll start drilling for water. Clean water sources are getting harder to come by you know. And if we run out of water, we'll be drilling for.....





    oh wait, I'll be dead by the time happens. So I don't really care. :DWhat will drilling engineer do if oil is depleted?
    By sayin depleted if you mean drilling machine is empty then simply you should prepare new cutting fluid (oil) and add to machine. If this not the answer to your question could you please clarify it a bit.

    What do the engineers replace drilled oil with?

    Water, gas or most recently CO2. Sometimes it is not necessary to pump water or gas, it permeates naturally. Sometimes the oil sands just compacts.What do the engineers replace drilled oil with?
    they fill it with the b-s that comes out of george bush's mouth.What do the engineers replace drilled oil with?
    Actually , i have read some info that says a few oil fields are replenishing themselves! It's called ';Abiotic'; or ';Ambiotic'; oil, and somewhere in the gulf of Mexico where we have drillings. Can you imagine? The claim is that there is NO shortage.
    Sometimes nothing! Sometimes air, gas, chemicals or water in order to either pressurise the well more or move oil from one chamber to another.
    i am not exactly sure just what you mean, but, i have heard that for years the u.s.a. is filling old empty wells from oil we buy from overseas. most of them remain as huge storage tanks, so to speak, if we ever have another disaster such as a world war, we would not be caught short on oil. i hope this is what you were looking for today.

    Dear Sir


    There is no longer a Miss Lilly Johnson at this address. She was dismissed for unlady like conduct involving the photo-copier, a mop handle and that nice young chap on his work experience program.


    She is therefore no longer an assistant anything, but we can say that she, along with the mop handle and YTS chap did look remarkably co-ordinated on the CCTV footage we all saw.





    Your application as assistant engineer will be forwarded to the photo-copy machine company, as we believe that there is some liquid damage to the internal components, and they may need help getting it out.





    We wish you well in your career.

    Our family lives in Qatar for the past 4 years and Qatar is the safest place we ever experienced after spending years in Florida and France. It is very safe for kids and women, you do not have to worry about burglary, rape, car hijacking, or children kidnapping! Ladies can have a regular life meaning having a job, driving a car and not having to wear hijab (scarf) or abaya (black dress covering all body) like in Saudi Arabia! This shows you already how open minded the country is compared to other parts of the Middle East (we have a lady minister of education for the past 2 years). You need to sign your contract overseas (best deals because you usually get a nice salary, + housing, + car, + insurance) and you also get a tax break of $ 80 K with the IRS if you are US citizen. If you come here and look for a ';local hire'; position it will be more difficult, and the deals are not good. You need to make sure housing is fully paid by company whatever your require (appartment, villa, etc.) Rentals have doubled and tripled in the past 2 years and you can not find a villa under 15,000 QR (4,000 $ US). Inflation has been very high in the past 2 years (officially 12 % but it is over 20 %).


    There is an amazing Education City shaping up and several US colleges have already moved in (Texas A%26amp;M, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, VCU, Weill Cornell with a teaching hospital of 350 beds to open soon).


    You have to know that we are over 830,000 inhabitants in this country and 3/4 are expatriates (majority coming from south Asia) and about 200,000 Qataris. Right now they try to have more Qataris get good positions and have more Qatari women in the working force, but there is still space for people with good education and experience. Engineering and medical field will always be in need.


    To find a job over here, you have to apply online and check different sites. I will list you a bunch of sites to visit for more informations and to check job vacancies.

  • Are there any women working on oil rigs? im an engineer but im scared its too male dominated?

    Engineers (male or female) basically don't work on oil rigs.





    There are some engineers that have assignments on offshore platforms as maintenance engineers or as supervisors but primarily they work from an office environment. There are also some onshore field assignments that engineers have again working in similar capacities as those offshore.





    There are some engineers that work field assignments doing construction and modifications to various facilities.





    If you work for a major company you will find that female engineers are treated just the same an males and can do quite well if they are competent. That is what really dominates in the oil field...competence.





    Are there any women working on oil rigs? im an engineer but im scared its too male dominated?
    Probably there are women who work in oil rig but they don't stay there for long. They just maybe work as liaison officers or personal aide of the boss when visiting the rig. An hour or two will be maybe the longest duration of their stay. Working in offshore oil rigs is very dangerous and only skilled male staff are allowed to work and stay.

    Do Drilling engineers get laid off or is it a fairly secure position in the oil field?

    I think it would matter where you are located or willing to locate... there are certain parts of the globe where work in this area is pretty steady...

    Drilling Engineer Occupational Outlook





    The number of jobs for petroleum engineers is declining in the U.S., but U.S. firms will be hiring for work in other countries and projections indicate that there will be a small number of graduates in this field, so prospects are good. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov), salaries range from $57,960 to over $145,000, with the median being about $98,000. The starting salary in 2007 for new petroleum engineering graduates was around $60,000. (Source: National Association of Colleges and Employers)

    What's the famous 'jelly' that engineers use to remove the oil and grease from their hands?

    I remember it came in a small-ish tub with a plastic screw-on lid, it was very thick, almost like jelly, (Jello for all you Americans out there reading this), but it wasn't even wobbly,.. it was green as well if I remember correctly, sometimes purple. Any ideas what it was called?What's the famous 'jelly' that engineers use to remove the oil and grease from their hands?
    Swarfega, correct spelling.What's the famous 'jelly' that engineers use to remove the oil and grease from their hands?
    Swartzfegger.
    swarfega, its still available in a red jar with white lid.
    Swarfega, I love the smell of that stuff.
    yup swarfega and there are other hand cleaners around these days which have ground apricot stones in them like rynol that work just as good.
    swarfega..........thats not the right spelling but thats what it sounds like...swarfeegar or something
    Was it Swarfega or something similar?
    Swarfega. Still around, I believe.
    Goop
    Swarfega
    Simple Green is the green kind. I don't remember what the purple stuff is called. There is also gojo--a lemon version from another company.
    Swarfega. The original one is green and smells kinda gross, but now they make an orange one too. Works just as well and smells a hell of a lot nicer! And it moisturises too :D
    It comes in many colours but the most common named brand is called 'Swarfega'. A cheaper alternative to this is washing powder and washing up liquid. The granules in the powder act as a scrub.
    it comes in a orange tub and its called gojo
    ';Goop';. Final answer.
    It is swarfega,and one of the best on the market.As you stated it is green,and can still be obtained.It has a hint of grit in it,which is for getting right into the skin.
    Swarfega. Great stuff. Apparently there's something in it that can get you addicted to it if you eat enough of it. But you'd probably die before that happened.

However, other types of engineers can also find jobs in BP, Shell, etc. For example; an electronics engineer could design an electronic fire and explosion safety system for offshore platforms and earn a lot of money doing that. You must not forget that big companies generally require people from different academic backgrounds. (They will even need a food-process engineer)What course do I need to study to be an engineer in oil and gas industry?
    I believe the University of Wyoming has an actual petroleum engineering cirriculla.
    Ask Shell or BP what qualies their looking for!!!!





    But if your going to do a degree you should be clever enough to know that for yourself!
    Ignore the geology answer unless you want to be a geologist. A degree in mechanical engineering is sufficient to get onto a trainee engineer course - at the moment, there is a real shortage of well engineers/drilling engineer - if I were you, that would be the discipline I'd aim for. If you can get a position as a mudlogger offshore, that can be a good opening into well engineering. I don't know where you're located, but a move to Aberdeen would be a good start!
    Check with your counselor. That's why they are there.
    The oil and gas industry employs engineers from many disciplines.





    eg





    Mechanical engineers


    Instrument engineers (electrical/digital engineering)


    Process engineers (chemical engineering)


    Electrical engineers


    Civil engineers


    Project engineers (any discipline)





    Take your pick
    Peter T has given the best and most accurate answer. In addition to having all kinds of engineers, the oil and gas industry tends to have their engineers deal with all kinds of tasks related to the various disciplines. You may be a mechanical engineeer but your assignment may require you to do some civil, chemical or electrical engineering.





    In general petroleum engineers can be limited by their degree if they ever need or want to change industries. Also their focus is usually ';down hole'; only.
    I guess it would either be Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering depending on what you want to specialise in. If you wish to design the structures of the rigs then I reckon Civil but if you want to be involved in the machinery then I would say Meachanical. Talk to Shell, BP, Texaco etc for some advice.





    Also do you want to be an Engineer or a technician (Engineer is more theoretical and problem solving, technician is hands on) as these would require different types of courses (Engineers need degrees).
    In the oil and gas industry there are mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, instrumentation engineers, marine engineers, civil engineers, chemical engineers, petroleum engineers and process engineers, together with other specialist disciplines like mud engineers, drilling engineers and certainly more that I have not named. Generally however Mechanical , Electrical, Civil and Chemical are the basic skills needed for this industry and the others are people of these categories who have further developed and refined their skills. Geologists are not normally categorized as engineers.
    chemical engineering.





    most of the work is to do with refining oil
    Geology has to be your major. Personally I think they're just a bunch of fossil heads.

    This is how I am thinking about this - Oil and gas industry , digs up oil , provides it to our cars and trucks so they can run. Now I don't understand how or where ';Electrical engineers'; come into play into this ?? Please make me understand. I want to know.





    P.s: I am an entry level electronics engineer, with a degree in ';Electrical engineering'; , Currently I am located in Houston, texas.How is Oil and Gas Industry related to Electrical engineering jobs?
    A great deal of electric power is used in extracting oil and gas from the ground, transporting it through pipelines, separating and refining the crude products and distributing the products. Electrical engineers design the required electrical equipment and the associated electric power distribution and control systems. In some situations, electric power must be generated on site rather than purchased from electric utility companies. In addition, electrical engineers are involved in the process instrumentation and control system design. The process control includes both computer systems and specialized electronic equipment.

    Oil and gas engineering competition?

    Hi, my friend is looking into pursuing a career in the oil and gas field but is a bit sceptical about the competition for a job at the end of the degree. I would appreciate if anyone could give me a bit more info on this as I have heard of people waiting as much as 4 years for a job in this field but on the other hand have heard that these jobs are in demand.Oil and gas engineering competition?
    You've heard wrong. The current demand for engineers is very high and there is a shortage. It's very lucrative as well. Not that many people want to go into engineering, because ';it's hard'; and it is easier to party and major in English (but they don't get jobs when they graduate).





    Sometimes the industry is cyclical, mostly depending on the price oil. When oil is high, refineries and rigs are being built so more oil can be sold. Engineers are then in high demand.





    With China and India's growth, their demand for oil should keep the price steady for several years to come.





    Right now, new engineering graduates just out of college make about $57,000-$61,000.

    Engineering isnt too difficult a job to get into if you have the right qualifications. Not sure on the salaries I am afreaid, but as they are off shore they are higher than they would be if you were working on the main land, due to the danger factor etc.

    Any university with a strong engineering program will support this but it's too long a list to have here. Pick an area of the the country and then look for engineering programs. In High School, you need to take 4 years of math and science. Whenever possible take advanced placement courses for college credit.

    Well some schools have oil and gas or petroleum engineering. Other schools with a strong chemical engineering program will have a fuels option....so you'll be a chemical engineer, but your engineering electives will focus on fuels. You actually don't need that option, a regular chemical engineer does the trick, but it gives you a competitive edge. (i'm a chem engineer with a focus in bio and i'm getting requests to interview with oil companies). List is probably long.





    U.S. we don't have A-level...from what i understand about A-level (which is limited)...A-level is probably what you want. Pretty much 4 years of science and 4 years of math....they'll want to start you off in calc....so you want to have at the very least taken pre calc.

I am really looking for a job where I will be able to work with a tight knit team to diagnose problems and create countermeasures while using my technical skills to acheive these. I wouldn't mind the crazy hours or physical demands as long as the work is interesting to me. I am about to earn my BSE in Mechanical Engineering.





    Thanks!Oil field engineer responsibilities?
    You would be doing highly repetitive work with little chance to do what you have described. You would have a better chance working for an oil company and even then you might not find what you have described.

    Hi,I have heard that on a big ship an engineer goes inside the clylinder of a ships engine to oil and inspect.

    It is in fact... a fact. Very true...


    The standing crew's joke which every engineer hears before stepping into one of those big round cylinders is ';that the last engineer to do that went stark raving crazy - trying to find a corner to pee in';.


    The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C (as one example) is a turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine acclaimed to be the most powerful and most efficient ship-mover in the world today. It is built in Japan. They have 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. These engines were designed for very large container ships. The cylinder bore is just under 38鈥?in diameter and the stroke is just over 98鈥?


    You can check it out your self and see pics at:

    And... just for your information... (since I am a sternwheeler enthusiast, and in fact own one) Robert Fulton's sternwheeler ';New Orleans'; which launched in 1911 - was of course a ';steam engine'; powered vessel... it too, had a cylinder with a 36'; diameter.
    He may have been referring to some of the reciprocating steam engines. There were catwalks that you would travel to oil bearings while the engine was running. They ran quite slowly, 50 to 90 rpm but it was amazing to be that close while it was turning. Loved the old steam days.
    Yep. I have done many times. Dont really go in to oil unless changing out a piston, but do go in the inspect and take readings. Go into the crankcase as well.

    Is there any courses or certificates for commissioning and start up engineer (chemical) in oil and gas field?

    upgrade for chemical engineerIs there any courses or certificates for commissioning and start up engineer (chemical) in oil and gas field?
    For starters, not all commissioning or start up engineers are chemical. Many are mechanical engineers. Much of the more difficult equipment involved in refineries and chemical plants are mechanical in nature therefore it is natural for mechanical engineers to be involved. I have even worked with at least one who was an electrical engineer.





    Most of the ones I have worked with learned their craft by their experience working in operating plants and on construction assignments. I have never heard of any who were certified.

    I am glad to help you. If I understand you correctly: you want to leave the finance industry and move to either be a land surveyor or an oil and gas. I'll move on to say you are a smart person because to me its seems like you have done some research and found that these two careers are always gonna be in demand.





    my personal suggestion:


    I am a pipeline engineer from a family of 4 engineers and a pharmacist....my younger sister graduated with masters degree in oil and gas engineering and is currently making $120,000 b/4 bonuses. I will ask that you look more into oil and gas becuase its one of the best paid careers today due to the everlasting demand for oil. The oil and gas industry will take you all over the world (if you wish to go) just like pipelines have taken me to all the continents on this planet. Oil and gas a very exciting world and you will discover that not only will you make a fortune there but you will build a network in that field within your first yrs of working that will beneft your family and friends who may want to follow behind.





    A good recommendation is a school in europe:

    .Why do the dems think the american engineers are stupid and will spill oil?
    If you think only Democrats can see oil slicks in the water then Republicans are in worse shape than I thought.


    All nations have had pipeline leaks and sabotage.


    And the Alaskan pipe line and the Exxon Valdez have shown that accidents do happen. And they can be disastrous.


    Democrats aren't the ones making money off oil, Bushs' whole family is in oil, as is Cheney. For that matter just making money isn't the problem, its excessive speculation in the market.


    The idea that Democrats are in some way for the poor is too extreme, they only want to see that the poor aren't in danger of dying or infecting the rest of the population due to lack of health care, they have a minimum standard of living, they aren't necessarily for the poor.





    Anyway you look at it, oil is a nonrenewable resource, its going to come to an end. We would be better served looking for a sustainable substitute than ruining the earth and its animals just so we can drive an SUV for another twenty years.


    That's a certain arrogance of mankind to think they can destroy their environment endlessly and not pay in ways much worse than we see today, just because they can.
    It has happened, but they can always clean it up. When they show oil covered animals on tv, you have to remember that with a short lifespan they might have died for any other reason and maybe not too long after the oil spill. We need oil not a wildlife preservation. After all, who is going to preserve us?
    They want to present it as all or nothing. Drilling = oil spills and destroys wild life and the environment. That's ridiculous. It's just manipulation. I've heard politicians put their own spin on things too many times and they think that Americans are too stupid to know better.
    What are you referring to? If we are talking about Alaska, then the problem is the massive amount of infrastructure that is required.
    The only oil spills we have ever had, were from ';importing oil'; not drilling! It's those damn treehuggers that spin it...
    Uh...because it's already happened hundreds of times?

    What is the scope of work of a chemical engineer in an oil industry?

    In oil industry two main segments of operations exist ,first one is Upstream which is mainly concerned with the exploration, drilling, production and management of exploitation activities.The second one is known as Down stream which is mainly dealing with the refining, quality control and product development etc.


    Luckily Chemical engineer has got crucial role to play in both the segments i.e. upstream as well as down stream. In up stream they can work for Drilling as drilling engineers or Mud engineers,Production engineers or Reservoir Engineers.


    In Down stream it is the open field for chemical engineers they can work for almost all the activities.

    Ship Engineer to Oil and Gas work?

    Yup, i'm currently based on a semi submersible drilling unit in Nigeria and at any one time we carry a total of 7 mechanics/engineers. That's a total of 14 employed on board (month on / month off with crews working back to back). About 50% are mechanics employed straight into the driling industry but the other 50% came from either Merchant Navy or the shipping industry. A Cadetship will give you a good solid Engineering background with the opportunity to advance ultimately to the rank of Chief Engineer. Our Engineers onboard are currently earning around 80K per annum with bonuses and the Chief Engineer probably about 100K. Also with the oil industry booming just now and most drilling companies building many new drillships, semis and jackups there is lots of work out there.

    Yes it is. And who knows the long-term effects of taking it? I'll stick with my olive oil.What is the raw source of Canola Oil? Is it the genetically engineered Rapeseed ?
    It is rapeseed oil and the marketing types in the U.S. decided that ';Canola'; would be a more appealing name than ';rapeseed';.





    Canola oil is not genetically engineered - it was bred to have some desirable characteristics, but that was done using the same breeding techniques that we've used for millenia. And rapeseed has been used in cooking for nearly as long.

    How long will the alleged Obama engineered US economic recovery last with Oil Companies hosing consumers again?

    Do you reallly believe Obama the loser wants any economic recovery for America? This loser claims he will get America out of debt by BORROWING trillions of dollars from a communist country (China) and then totally wasting the money on earmarks and pork project, remember Obama the loser said that his stimulus package would save and/or create 3.5 million jobs and then about a month ago he said that he miscalculated and it is now only 2.5 million jobs, well all that money is gone and unemployment is still rising, so where are the jobs? OBAMA THE LOSER LIED PLAIN AND SIMPLE, and now the taxpayers are stuck with the biggest debt in American History which was created in the last 100 days. Thank you Obama bots for totally wasting your votes on Obama the Loser and for the good of America, Obama the loser needs to resign NOW!How long will the alleged Obama engineered US economic recovery last with Oil Companies hosing consumers again?
    You do realize that capitalist oil companies only control 18% of the oil worldwide and the rest has been nationalized, right?





    Gasoline prices were recently at unprecedented lows - no profits, no oil, no western civilization, new dark age. They had to go up some.





    The ';recovery'; would have failed regardless. Government stimulation used to be believed to help in recessions (oh, some 30 years ago) but has been proven to be a short term fix that looks good at first but then leads to massive inflation that sinks the economy worse. Using it is pure populism/short-term thinking. Tax cuts do work and have resulted in higher government income when passed (like the Bush tax cut for everyone) but unfortunately, Congress has the purse strings and tends to approve higher Presidential budgets, more pork, and basically spends the increased income and then some. Happens every time. Term limits would greatly damper this sort of behavior but even people elected to national office in one state should be easily fireable by the board of directors (the people).





    It is very likely, good Soros-backed socialist that he is, that Obama will at least attempt to nationalize the oil companies despite documented proof that their production and exploration (not to mention level of technology) drop precipitously after being nationalized and stay there. The people and their pain do not matter to Obama - only the narrow ideal that he lives for does.How long will the alleged Obama engineered US economic recovery last with Oil Companies hosing consumers again?
    No time to get on the price gouging band wagon like the beginning of the summer driving season. There is no economic recovery to damage though, because the economy isn't recovering! This will just make it worse. Will the Republicans still espouse Capitalism and the supposed free market when oil companies again post record profits amidst the worst economic crisis decades?
    wow as an owner of a small oil co. yes i have producing wells, it coast me $4,000,000. just to drill and guss what most of the time it is a dry hole, with obama taking away tax advantages i will no longer be drilling, the major oil will not drill in this country, taking away jobs, and making us more dependent on foreign oil, and by the way exxon is owned by pension funds, that would be teachers, Police, fireman, and Mike moore, and you might own a major oil co check your ira
    Well it appears we may be bottoming, but who knows? One thing we don't need is high gas prices, they are now around $2.20 per gallon here in Texas and people are starting to worry, lets just hope they go back down before it stalls the economy.

    hi





    well, it is not the best season to get hired over there, you know? never the kidnapping has been that high...





    anyway your courage should be paid well; a part for example monster.com, i would simple search on the net whose is operating there and contact them directly (at their home office AND locally); also check all those subcontractor companies from all over the world and contact them directly, sending a resume/cv and the your motivation (for ex no family etc), why you are ready to work in a high risk environment


    ...in alternative you may go also in Iraq (where this month they start to make pieces of the petrol cake), the pay may be even higher for similar risk level (depends where you work);





    good luck

    Of the two options, which type of engineer is most likely to work at an oil/gas refinery?

    The two options I'm giving are either chemical or petroleum engineer. From my research it appears petroleum engineers are primarily trained to work in the field, where the products is extracted. It also seems chemical engineers are more likely to be the ones to work at a refinery, separating the products. I guess I am just curious as to whether or not petroleum engineers have a place at refineries and if so what is there role?Of the two options, which type of engineer is most likely to work at an oil/gas refinery?
    Petroleum engineers tend to work in the Exploration and Production end of the business whereas chemical engineers can work in either.





    In terms of percentage, there are more mechanical and electrical engineers than petroleum or chemical engineers in either end of the business. Of the two options, which type of engineer is most likely to work at an oil/gas refinery?
    I would say most likely a Chemical Engineer would be found at the refineries. Most of the Petroleum Engineers I know work in the field and develop the most efficient and cleanest ways to extract the oil. Refining is a chemical process and a Petroleum engineer will learn about the refining process but most likely to be found in the field. Then again if your passion is in the refineries but feel as if you'd prefer the petroleum schooling chances are you'd find a job where you want. The nice part about that is you would understand the whole start to finish process. Hope this helps.
    Chemical engineers usually work in the labs in a refinery checking product streams etc., if they work in a refinery at all.





    The ones working the refinery are usually Mechanical, Control, and Electrical engineers.

    Does anyone know how much a chemical engineer that works for Chevron oil would make in a yearly pay?

    If you know the answer, please, let me know. I am curious in majoring in Chemical engineering and I need to know how much I would be making.Does anyone know how much a chemical engineer that works for Chevron oil would make in a yearly pay?
    This is not an easy question to answer. Tell you why. Read on....





    How much? That depends. Just a raw BS degree won't get you too far. Also that depends on what you can do. How valuable you are to the company etcetera.





    If you are a BS, new grad, expect to earn about $35 K. MS = $45 Ph.D in an R%26amp;D can hope to earn about $55-60; Add an MBA with any of the above, you will earn an additional $10 to $15; additional years of experience will earn more but what you did in your previous job and what the last employers thought of your work will earn additional $$s. How you fit in the current requirement is #1 in their offer of money.





    The speed with which you rise in the ranks, (hence your income) is directly proportional to your educational qualifications and MEANINGFUL experience.





    With oil companies, the benefits are good. Therefore, money alone is not always that important. The future will look bright. You will have excellent oppt'ys if you ever leave Chevron. Stock options are good.





    So many factors are involved. The HR manager when interviewing you has an invisible sign that says ';....so, what are you bringing to the table.......?'; Try and answer that by putting their hat on.Does anyone know how much a chemical engineer that works for Chevron oil would make in a yearly pay?
    I am not positive about Chevron but I myself am getting into the business side of the environmental industry and I know there is a lot of money to be made. Beyond oil there is a growing industry to environmental services because of the increasingly strict laws on businesses who create waste.
    I wouldn't suggest going into engineering just for the money. If you have a masters in engineering then you're not going to have to worry about making money. But it's always better to have a job you love. Just find a field you enjoy working in and it will be worth more to you than than you would get from trying to make the most money.





    but if you're just curious as to what chemical engineers make than you can expect to start making 50,000 to 70,000 anything more would be rather rare for a starting salary.
    depends on what level you reach. bs, ms ,phd. it could be from 35 -200 k depending on their need and your education AND experience. a bs with no indusrtrial experience will earn less then a nbs with five years in the plant environment where profit motivates the company to make things happen fast, rather than slow. example, using heat and pressure to drive the manufacture of a ketone in a wet environment.
    I'm not sure. Have you checked salary.com ?

    Is underground oil storage ever been done? (civil engineering)?

    My Bachelor thesis is about underground storage of liquid bulk and it's supposed to be an innovative concept. Can anyone tell me if it is ever been done? If so, when, where..?Is underground oil storage ever been done? (civil engineering)?
    I remember that they have stored oil in disused mines. This may have been in South Africa during the apartheid years, but I am not sure.





    I found a link that references this: http://www.mbendi.co.za/indy/oilg/af/sa/…





    The premier engineering faculties in South Africa are the University of the Witwatersrand and University of Pretoria.





    Their civil/mining engineering faculties would likely be able to help you.Is underground oil storage ever been done? (civil engineering)?
    Yes, it has been done. My father is a Engineer and he spent several years building underground storage for crude oil in Louisiana. They took salt mines and left about 12” of salt lining the walls then filled them w/ oil and capped them off. As you should remember from chemistry oil will not penetrate salt so the oil is sealed in the mine.
    Not only is oil stored in underground cavities, but propane, butane, ethylene, natural gas, and many other products can be stored in this manner. From personal experience I know this type of storage has been around for at least 40 to 50 years and probably longer.





    Along the US gulf coast there are many underground salt domes and they can have large cavities (called salt jugs)leached in them with water. After they are formed, they are filled with salt water.





    The fluid to be stored is pumped into the cavity and it displaces the salt water. To remove the fluid later, salt water is pumped back in and the product comes out.





    In other places, deposits of water soluble minerals are handled in the same way to create a storage ';jug';.





    You would need to contact companies such as Philips Petroleum, British Pertroleum, Exxon, Shell and other oil and chemical companies to get more specific information.
    Fuel oil for homes used to be stored in underground tanks. This is illegal now, probably because the tanks can rupture and leak oil into the groundwater and pollute the environment.

    What engineering sector would a company which explores for, produces and sells crude oil, natural gas be in?

    :DWhat engineering sector would a company which explores for, produces and sells crude oil, natural gas be in?
    They hire many technical people. Geologists are valuable in determining where to drill. They hire many petroleum and chemical engineers for the refineries. Most pipeline engineers are petroleum or mechanical engineers. Many electrical and software engineers to make controls, circuits, and programs. Materials engineers to improve pipe and machine life.





    Truth is, they hire almost any discipline, but most engineers in house are either project engineers/managers that coordinate projects and do not do technical work, or PhD types that work in R%26amp;D. The contractors are generally the ones that do the hard core technical work.

  • How can you become a pipeline engineer? Or a risk engineer that deals with oil or gas?

    i am going to do a foundation year in engineering this year,


    and i will have to pick a specific type of engineering for the 3 years after my foundation year, however i will most likely not be able to do chemical engineering, would civil engineering or mechanical engineering be the best route to take? or are there any other suggestions? thanks in advanceHow can you become a pipeline engineer? Or a risk engineer that deals with oil or gas?
    Petroleum Engineering is specific to the oil and gas industry, and can help you get a better job there, but is not so flexible outside of it.





    Civil Engineers are more likely to get work in the construction industry, which is far more stable (ie: more loyalty, less chance of getting laid off), though the salaries are lower.





    Mechanical works well in both fields, and is more general. I have worked in both the construction and oil and gas industries with my B.S.M.E.





    Almost more important than the degree is the college you get it at. Do not worry so much about rankings, as they are scored by such things as test scores and job placement. What is important is how companies in the industry you want to work for view the college.How can you become a pipeline engineer? Or a risk engineer that deals with oil or gas?
    almost all pipeline engineers (piping engineers) are chemical or mechanical. There are a lot of stress and strain calcs that have to be done, and supports to be designed. You don't say where you are located. I haven't heard of US schools requiring that a student pick his major/program after the 1st year, and never deviate. The first 2 years are very similar (some difference in the non-engineering classes, such as different physics course, or more chemistry). If you can't do chem, then go with mechanical. Civil tends to have less of the applicable training for piping engineers.





    In the US, the school matters nothing, as long as it's accredited, except for the employers that tend to come to campus to recruit the last year.
    Pipeline engineering and petroleum engineering are very limiting. As to ';risk'; engineer, I am not sure what that is.





    Chemical, mechanical, civil and electrial engineering are much more flexible choices. Any of these can work in oil and gas as well as pipeline engineering.





    I have a degree in mechanilcal engineering and worked for 35 years in all aspects of the oil and gas engineering including much that was really the realm of chemical, civil and electrical engineers.
    The most important thing is that you build a good set of skills whichever direction you take. That way you will be the most employable or have an easier in graduate school. It is a mistake to get too narrowly focused on a particular job. It is much better to be open-minded about opportunities that will come your way at the end of your undergraduate education. So, if you like dirt, become an civil engineer. If you like grease, become a mechanical engineer.

    Thank you for your support.





    Best Regards,





    Pres__What is the work of a commissioning Engineer in a Gas/oil business?
    A commissioning engineer can be involved in several aspects of getting a new or revised facility ready for operations.





    They can prepare check out procedures for equipment, piping, electrical, instrumentation, systems etc.





    They can be involved in the actual check out of the facility and after it is deemed ready for operation, help in the start up and debugging of the various equipment and systems.





    In some cases they can also be involved in the training of individuals who might operate and maintain the facility.





    I have done this job many times and I find it to be interesting, challenging, rewarding and a lot of fun.





    It takes an individual with a wide back ground in all aspects of engineering. Not an expert but someone who knows enough to get the job done and get help from others when their knowledge is not sufficient.

    Planning to study petroleum engineering, how will this affect my salary as world oil reserves run out.?

    Hi, I really want to become a petroleum engineer.. but i heard that world oil reserves will run out in about 50 years... will my salary increase as the resource becomes more and more rare... or will I lose money as the petrol will be replaced by an alternative.... thanks in advancePlanning to study petroleum engineering, how will this affect my salary as world oil reserves run out.?
    There will not be a sharp cut off point. Starting in the near future (or perhaps in the recent past), oil will be increasingly difficult to find, and increasingly expensive, and hopefully the cost of alternatives will go down. So usage of oil will hopefully decline in the future years, never quite reaching zero, but more used for plastics and other such uses as opposed to being used for energy.





    Re your salary, who knows? There could be more call for petroleum engineers to better use the remaining oil, or to better access it.





    Or, there may be less research as the number of wells decreases, and less need for engineers.





    It may depend on your specialization and flexibility.





    .Planning to study petroleum engineering, how will this affect my salary as world oil reserves run out.?
    ';Easy to access'; reserves may run out in about 50 years, although I personally think that figure is very debatable, as the definition of ';easy to access'; depends on the current state of technology of extraction! In terms of actual oil reserves there are in fact more identified ones now than there were 50 years ago.





    So although it doesn't make fashionable headlines, I personally doubt that there is any genuine risk of oil running out in our lifetimes.

    Learn CPM and Pert. Learn to read the drawings well especially the piping diagrams, etc. Go back in the record section and find out how the company is carrying on with their planning strategy effectivly. Attend seminars on Planning and Developments, etc. Good luck. Try and get notes from IIMs if you have any friends. All IIMs are very good planners.How can i become a good planning engineer for oil %26amp; gas projects?
    What or Who are IIMs Report Abuse

    first of all learn how to spell it. then go get some education or work in the oil industry like at a gas station part time. you would be surprised at the amount of information you will learn about the industry just being a cashier. i did and i turned in to a manager and they bought my design and built 20 stores. so it can happen but you have to get out there and get in it before it starts to happen.

    Oil and Gas engineer or Land surveyor ?





    Hi, I'm looking for a more lucrative career from a financial adviser and have come up with these 2 options.


    I'm wondering if anyone could give me any information about mainly what type of money each of these would expect with a few years experience and beyond, also does anyone know what the business potential is in such occupations.





    Any info is greatly appreciated,

    Learn a trade, and after the a few years start your own business.





    A study of self-made millionaires done in the US, showed that people that used the years in their early twenties to earn money while learning a trade and then going into business for themselves (this is key), came out ahead of people that spend those years in college

    I worked for an oil company as an EE and it was horrible... whatever you do, don't do field work. The erratic schedule you endure won't allow you to have free time or plan anything. HORRIBLE.

    In the US there are universities that teach petroleum engineering. I'm sure a web search can give you more information. In addition to the usual engineering courses in physics, chemistry, math, thermodynamics, statics and dymanics, there will be courses in geology and other areas directly related to oil exploration and production.I intend studing OIL %26amp; GAS engineering.do you have any idea about how it might or the processes i'll pass thru
    another idea is to start with the API code. it just mite scare you off this carreer choice.I intend studing OIL %26amp; GAS engineering.do you have any idea about how it might or the processes i'll pass thru

  • What is wireline engineering engineering in oil?

    its a field jobWhat is wireline engineering engineering in oil?
    first you must understand what wireline is. wireline is a means of lowering various kinds of tools town the bore of a well. generally it uses a single strand of very high strength plow steel or nickel/cobalt alloy wire. But stranded wire and even stranded wire wound over electrical wire (e-line) can be used depending on the operations to be performed. it is lowered though a ';grease fitting'; which uses a combination of rubber packing glands and very high viscosity grease pumped into a chamber between the packing glands to maintain a pressure seal. I have even worked on systems in which e-line is put through coiled tubing in order to be able to negotiate long horizontal sections.





    If you don't know what it is, unless the employer is willing to train you, don't take the job. If the employer IS willing to train you, within a couple years you can be making some really good money.What is wireline engineering engineering in oil?
    There are some good points in that answer but it really doesn't explain much. Wireline engineers do a geological survey of the various formations of intrest. The reading help to determine the porosity and permiability of the formations. Report Abuse
