    A To calculate dew pressure of hydrocarbon mixture by PC-SAFT

    Hello, everyone: I'm trying to use the PC-SAFT (Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory) method to calculate the bubble point and dew point pressures of hydrocarbon mixtures, and subsequently plot the PT phase envelope. My calculations for bubble pressure match the experimental data...

    Do petroleum engineers struggle with ethical dilemmas?

    Petroleum engineers are smart, educated individuals. Therefore, I’d assume they’re well aware of the environmental impacts caused by the work they do. Do they ever struggle with any ethical issues regarding the matter? Is it the money? Is it the possibility of making oil drilling processes more...

    What Are SG Units? Oil & Gas Industry Explained

    Hi all, I am currently trying to understand a paper which presents a model for sand production and wellbore collapse in the oil&gas industry. The paper refers to stresses and pressure in "s.g." instead of Pa or other pressure/stress units... values tend to range from 0.4 s.g. for cohesive rock...

    Is Oil and Gas Engineering the Same as Petroleum Engineering?

    Hi, I had come to a university hoping to study Petroleum Engineering but they said what they teach is Oil and Gas Engineering. Really I do not know more about the differences if there is because petroleum implies oil and gas. But, there should be a reason why it is called that way and not PE...

    Oil and Gas Industry - Seeking Advice

    I am coming close (~1.5 years remaining) to finishing my undergraduate degrees (chemical/process engineering and finance), and have pretty much decided that I will work in the energy industry. I live in Australia, so there are definitely plenty of opportunities at the moment for me to find work...

    Physics Getting into oil and gas with a physics degree with no geophysics courses?

    Is that possible? UH offers a physics degree BS with geophysics specialization. I looked at doing that a while back but decided against it. With just a BS Physics, could I get into oil and gas/energy? If so, what kinds of jobs would I be doing? I live outside of Houston, btw.
