A FACTOR BEHIND SOCIETAL GROWTH
The oil and gas sector of the economy is a highly significant contributor to human life and economic growth. 
Petroleum engineering is key to the functioning of the modern world, Many choose to go into the medical sphere, educational sector,transport sector and many other sectors, but some people's purpose in life has positioned them in the oil and gas sector, hence the essence of the study of petroleum engineering.
The petroleum sector is a major contributor to and booster of the Nigerian economy, therefore serving the nation in this sphere is highly commendable. Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering totally concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbon which can be either crude oil or natural gas. Petroleum Engineers carry out exploration and production of hydrocarbon and this falls within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry.
A petroleum engineer is responsible for the identification and production of hydrocarbon, which requires a range of skills and a good knowledge of many other related courses such as geophysics, petroleum geology, formation evaluation (well logging), drilling economics, reservoir stimulation, reservoir engineering, well engineering, artificial life system, completing an oil and gas facility engineering a petroleum engineer may work on a drilling rig, as part of a multi-disciplinary team of service contractors who support the extraction of hydrocarbon. The petroleum industries still absorbs graduates despite the economy climate, because the increasing population is the main factor of increase energy needs, there is no field where there is no use of petroleum products and hence it makes a necessity to recruit the engineers in the field.
Even if the oil reserve in the world finishes, still 40 to 50 percent of the oil remains. This calls for better extraction method, improved technology. There is range of carrier option in the petroleum industry for one to choose the one he wants to function in.
If it is to be said that one will chose a carrier without including the lucrativeness of that carrier as part of the reason he/she chooses to take that carrier, then it will be termed foolish, the petroleum industry has highly salary rates, the salary of professionals in the field increase in population to the hike in the price of petroleum production in the global market. A petroleum Engineer has the opportunity to travel to various countries across the world and the travel expenses will be settled by the company. The advantage in the field negate the challenges in the field with the present of companies that engineers who have made things simpler in the arduous environment you should always chose a field that is challengin
