A mining engineer should take additional courses in petroleum engineering to work effectively on petroleum related activities. Some companies may have both mining and petroleum projects, and this may offer an opportunity to transition between the two fields. Also, there may be opportunities in oil shale and coal bed methane which will blend better the skills that the mining engineer has acquired. May I also suggest that the mining engineer join the Society of Petroleum Engineers, and consider purchase of their handbook. See: www.spe.org

Petroleum engineering is the engineering specialty that is focused on locating and extracting sources of petroleum. These engineers often work with specialists such as geologists and hydrologists to determine the best, most cost effective method to remove petroleum sources from the earth. The chief responsibility of a petroleum engineer is to select and supervise the method by which petroleum sources are to be extracted. However, the job is not nearly that simple, there are several factors that impact the engineer’s decisions.
The first factor that petroleum engineers consider when drilling is the depth at which the reservoir is located as different drilling methods are to be used at varying depths. From there, the engineer must test the reservoir to determine its size and level of connectivity. In some cases it is possible to remove petroleum from multiple reservoirs through complex drilling and a process known as fracturing. The last, and often most important, decision made by a petroleum engineers involves the pressure and other environmental factors that allow petroleum to naturally flow to the surface of a well. Petroleum engineers have employed a variety of methods to remove as much petroleum as possible from a well; examples would be injecting steam and water into the reservoir.
The minimum requirements to become a Petroleum Engineer are to earn a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering; however, it is very possible to cross over from another engineering specialty such as chemical or mechanical engineering. It is a very good idea for students interested in petroleum engineering to secure an internship during college to gain highly valuable work experience. Graduate degrees are necessary for many research and development positions.
The employment opportunities in petroleum engineering are expected to be very good. There is to be an 18% growth over the next decade according to www.bls.gov ; in addition, there are too few graduates with degrees in petroleum engineering to fill the positions. Petroleum engineers are the most highly paid of the engineering specialties; starting salaries for a petroleum engineer are typically around $83,000, one of the highest for any bachelor’s level program. On average, workers in the field earn from $100,000 to $110,000.

As the price of oil has skyrocketed in the last decade, thousands of new oil extraction projects have come on-line around the world. The continuing high demand for oil and petroleum products -- like plastics and fertilizer -- ensure that petroleum engineer jobs will be secure for many years. These professionals are responsible for every part of the oil supply chain: Finding new extraction sites, building oil wells and pipelines, refining oil into gasoline and jet fuel, and delivering crude oil around the world on supertankers.
Petroleum engineers earn massive profits for oil companies, and those firms are willing to share their bounty with talented engineers in return. It is not uncommon for petroleum engineers to be some of the most highly paid engineers in their field. Those looking for petroleum engineer jobs should try to find a program that specializes in petroleum engineering, in addition to majoring in a relevant science like geology or chemical engineering.
