INTRODUCTION
1. Raise your hand if you heard the following phrase: Major for men.
Since I was a child I have always liked to be different from the rest of the
people I knew; for that reason, I decided to study petroleum engineering
because this major allows me to make the difference that I want to do as
there are not many women in this major because it is considered like a
major for men. From my point of view, all of these ideas should not
exist. Some people may disagree with me, but as far as I am concerned
the oil industry needs the work of men and women in order to form
excellent teams that achieve best productions of hydrocarbons.
2. Good afternoon dear colleagues and teacher, let me introduce myself my
name is Alejandra Santos today I am going to talk about Petroleum
engineering, I have limited my speech into 10 minutes.
3. What I would like to do today is to explain the definition and the areas of
petroleum engineering and in addition my future plans.
4. I have divided my presentation into 3 sections:
First I will explain what is PE?...Secondly I am going to show you the
areasIn the part three Ill explain my future plans.
5. At the end of this presentation I will answer your questions, Now let us
turn to point one
BODY
What is petroleum engineering?
1. A petroleum engineer is a person who looks for evidence of hydrocarbon
and their principal function is to extract the oil or natural gas from the
reservoirs.
2. According to ACGAS editors the aim of PE is to maximize hydrocarbon
recovery at minimum cost while maintaining a strong emphasis on
reducing environmental impact.
3. PE has 2 principal workplaces the offshore and onshore rigs. For working
in these places it is necessary to have a rig pass. In comparison, these
two places have many different things but the principal is that in the
offshore the installations are submerged in the sea, and in the onshore
the rig is always in the earths surface.
4. As I mentioned before P. Engineers looks for evidence of hydrocarbons,
then extract the oil or natural gas and is sent to laboratories for analysis
of their properties and is stored for sale. This process is performed in the
different areas of the industry.
Areas of Petroleum engineering
The areas of PE are four:
