Top Petroleum and Energy Engineering Colleges in India
Petroleum and Energy studies is amongst the few niche courses offered by various engineering institutes in India. Unlike other popular engineering programmes, the takers of these courses are very few.
A course in Petroleum engineering generally deals with the production of hydrocarbons. The exploration and production activities fall under the upstream sector of the Oil & Natural Gas industry which has more demand than the downstream sector where the recruiters prefer chemical engineers over petroleum engineers.

The study is basically targeted towards yielding high efficiency from these resources whilst skirting various side effects on humans including the nature and the environment.
The Oil & Natural Gas industry is divided into three major sectors which include upstream, midstream and downstream. The Upstream sector is mainly for the exploration and production whereas the downstream sector deals with the further processing and refining of petroleum crude oil. It also deals with the distribution and marketing of products obtained from the processing of raw materials.

The midstream sector is commonly known to deal with the transportation of crude oil to the refineries or production sites. It also deals with the storage and wholesale marketing of crude oil and other refined products obtained from petroleum. The mainstream sector acts as a bridge between the upstream and the downstream sector.
A petroleum engineer should possess quality knowledge about various disciplines including geophysics, formation evaluation, petroleum geology, drilling, reservoir simulation, economics, well & reservoir engineering, artificial lift systems and the oil & gas facilities engineering.
Energy Engineers on the other hand deal with energy services and its efficiency along with the facility management. Environment compliance, alternative energy and plant engineering are also a part of their key responsibilities. An Energy engineer’s work is to audit the use of energy in those processes and suggest ways to improve the systems.
Energy is known to be an overwhelming need of today. The gathering and use of energy resources can even prove to be harmful for the local ecosystems and may have global outcomes. Which is why the industry needs skilled engineers to work for the benefit of the society.
To make it easier for you, we have enlisted below a table comprising the popular engineering colleges in the country which offer BTech and MTech programmes in petroleum and energy studies. Interestingly, a few of these public and private engineering institutes have been ranked in the MHRD NIRF Ranking 2017 as well (not specifically for petroleum and energy studies). Take a look below.
