Petroleum engineering is divided into four directions: drilling, oil production and oil and gas development. Which is better, ocean engineering, oil production and oil and gas development?

Let's just say that working after graduation has little to do with what you study, but if you are a boy who will go to the construction site without taking the postgraduate entrance examination, it is recommended to choose drilling or oil production and pay more attention to engineering technology; If you are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, you need a lot of seepage mechanics and mathematics to learn development.

In terms of teaching quality, development and drilling are more difficult, and oil production is easier to muddle through. Drilling courses include new drilling technology, drilling fluid, completion fluid, reservoir protection and some chemistry; Development is numerical simulation and well testing, which requires a lot of data processing and many formulas. Numerical simulation also needs various iterations by mathematical methods, so it is very complicated to learn. Oil production is special water, and the course is new oil production technology and water injection engineering. One of these two courses is not an elective course, and the other is a mess. Finally, the open-book exam. This is the easiest choice for graduation.

If you want to learn something well, it is suggested to choose drilling/development according to your personal interests; If you want to graduate easily and happily, it is recommended to choose oil production; The ocean is really unnecessary. CNOOC wants to recruit the same drilling, but your knowledge of onshore oil fields is limited.

Girls had better choose development.
