THE PETROLEUM ENGINEER'S PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1983
ABSTRACT Because a majority of petroleum engineers fall under the industrial exemption, registration is usually taken for granted as a procedure that is always available if needed. Even registered engineers in public practice tend to view it as a governmental requirement without relating registration to their status as a professional and

Petroleum Engineering Manpower Supply

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1982
Abstract The supply of Petroleum Engineers within the U. S. has shown an exponential growth during the last decade due to increases in the price of petroleum and concommitant demand for engineers in the petroleum industry at all levels of activity. Schools currently have very large enrollments; many lack sufficient faculty and facilities

Electrical engineering and the petroleum refiner

Electrical Engineering, 1940
The use of electricity in refineries has increased tremendously in the last decade; this increase can be primarily traced to: 1. Development of equipment that is suitable for use in refinery atmospheres. 2. Development of improved mechanical equipment. 3. Development of generating equipment of industrial size having suitable operating economies.

Survey of Computer Use by Petroleum Engineers and Its Implications in Petroleum Engineering Education

Petroleum Computer Conference, 1994
ABSTRACT Rapid, major advances over the past 20 years in computing capability and the ability to manage information have significantly affected the work of the practicing petroleum engineer. To document the effects of these changes in the workplace, we have conducted a survey of how engineers use computers on the job.

Excellence in Petroleum Engineering

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2023
Abstract The failed merger attempt between SPE and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) in 2020-21 brought about nonsensical calls for rebranding the petroleum engineering (PE) discipline into something like "energy engineering" and by extension SPE into "Society of Professionals in Energy." This led to the writing of "

Basic Petroleum Accounting for Petroleum Engineers

SPE Hydrocarbon Economics and Evaluation Symposium, 2012
Abstract Oil and gas reserves are the assets that create value for oil and gas companies. While engineers are generally aware of the importance of reserve calculations, many do not know exactly how their work impacts the financial results. Oil and gas reserves, along with the book value, determine the depletion rate which impacts the net

THE IDEAL ROLE FOR THE PETROLEUM ENGINEER

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1980
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to describe the ideal role for a petroleum engineer. In an effort to accomplish this, the history of the engineering profession is traced from 3iblical times to the present. The evolution of engineering curricula from its founding in the U.S. at the U.S. Military Academy in 1812 is reviewed.

History of Petroleum and Petroleum Engineering

2009
Petroleum in its various natural forms is known and utilized by mankind since immemorial times. However, its industrial development at a large scale came only in the late XIX century, first as a raw material to produce lighting oil and lubricants, and then, at the turn of the XX century, as a powerful source of energy that partially substituted for ...
