Petroleum Engineering is noticeably the fastest growing
sector all over the world which marks its great demand in today’s market. So Quantum Global Campus is leaving no
stone upturned in providing the best of opportunities to its students in making
the best of their career. Hence, 2015 will mark the commencement “PETROLEUM ENGINEERING” as a branch at
Quantum Global Campus.
Petroleum
engineering at Quantum is the
strand of engineering concerned with the extraction, production and management
of oil and gas from natural environments. Studying in this field will give the
technical and theological skills required to operate heavy machinery, manage
computer systems and discover new sources of energy.
In 50 years, global energy consumption will go up by 50%.
Until we find sustainable fuel, one of the major challenges of the oil industry
is to find new oil. To find oil, we need to have machines like super computers
and hi-tech imaging systems, not to
mention, competent people. There is a paucity of talent both at the
upstream (oil and gas exploration) and downstream (refining) levels. So, Quantum Global Campus is bending upon
to prepare those Engineers who can stand upon the requirement.
According to a study, the energy industry will need 6,180
trained geoscientists for exploration operations alone in the next five years.
The shortfall will be about 2,844 geoscientists. Add to this, the overall gap
between availability and requirement of 36,000 trained manpower by 2019. There
is an acute shortage of professionals like geosciences experts, drillers and
project managers.
The opening up of the Indian petroleum sector to private players,
dismantling of price controls and the spiraling fuel costs combined with
increasing consumption of petroleum products has brought Petroleum Engineering in the
forefront.
So, Quantum
ensures to give its students a good exposure to a totally different
culture and way of life.
