Online Petroleum Engineering Degree Programs

Oil and gas engineers work at home and abroad to help energy exploration and development companies to streamline and maximize their production operations. In an era of dwindling resources and the retirement of experienced engineering professionals, newly trained oil and gas engineers will remain in high demand, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Online colleges and universities now offer advanced master's degree programs in oil and gas specializations to help qualify new engineers for the profession.

Career Training in Oil and Gas Engineering

Oil and gas engineering professionals work on the discovery, development, and production output of energy reserves. In online career training courses, engineers study technical as well as managerial aspects of the energy industry.
