Petroleum Engineering (EPT)
Section Information
Petroleum Engineering focuses on the exploration, drilling, production, and management of oil and gas resources. The field integrates geology, reservoir engineering, drilling technology, and production systems to ensure safe, efficient, and economically viable hydrocarbon recovery.
Current research includes enhanced oil recovery, unconventional reservoirs, drilling optimization, well integrity, reservoir simulation, and carbon management in subsurface systems. Advances in digital oilfield technologies, data analytics, automation, and sustainable practices are transforming modern petroleum operations.
This section publishes experimental studies, field investigations, reservoir modeling research, system optimization analyses, and review articles related to hydrocarbon exploration and production technologies.
