3. Why Petroleum Engineering? SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge
Slide 3
It’s the best time to enter PNGE now…
There will always be a need to quench the world’s thirst for energy
Which means there will always be jobs…
When oil and natural gas prices are low…
Best & brightest enter the industry
Innovation and development of cutting-edge technologies to drill cheaper & faster
We are one of the top-paying professions…
Median annual wage for petroleum engineers: $130,050
Top 10% earn more than $187,200
Opportunities are endless…
With Marcellus Shale growth, ability to work locally in Pittsburgh, Tri-State Region if desired
Ability to travel the world working for a supermajor such as Chevron or ExxonMobil

Oil & Gas Supply Chain
Slide 5
Upstream
Mainly petroleum engineers. Exploration & production segment of the industry. Relates to searching for and recovering crude oil and/or natural gas from underground fields.
Midstream
Petroleum, chemical, civil, mechanical (and other types) engineers. Relates to the processing, transportation, and storage of crude oil and natural gas.
Downstream
All types of engineers. Close connection to consumer-end use of oil and gas – usually operates low-pressure gathering and distribution lines.
Energy Finance
Ability to analyze and predict future crude oil and natural gas prices. Ability to become energy analyst, trader or scheduler. Common to minor or double major in Energy Business and Finance (EBF) at PSU. Student club for energy marketing – check out PSEMA.org
Data Analytics
Oil & gas industry is high-tech and uses latest technology in day-to-day operations
Includes “Big Data” and machine learning / computer science
Encouraged to take classes in statistics, computer science (even minoring, double major, or Master’s)

Hydraulic Fracturing
Slide 7
Fracturing goal is to provide conduit of flow for hydrocarbons to enter the wellbore and travel to the surface
Unconventional vs. conventional reservoirs
Unconventional – where hydrocarbons are trapped in tight, low perm rocks
Conventional – hydrocarbons are found in large areas of high perm/porous rocks
Fracturing is not a new technology! It began in the 1940’s.
The advent of horizontal drilling + hydraulic fracturing is what caused the US shale boom
Slurry of water and sand pumped downhole to shatter shale rock, creating fractures
Sand is used to keep fractures “propped” open after injection takes place

8. Environmental Myths about Natural Gas Development
Slide 8
Environmental Myths about Natural Gas Development
Hydraulic fractures in the Marcellus Shale reach aquifers and contaminate local water sources.
This is not possible from a scientific volume-balance standpoint…
Hydraulic fracturing is polluting the United States…
There has never been a reported instance of contamination
Bad cement jobs could cause contamination, but the industry is improving (this is why we need engineers!)
Oil & gas is one of the most heavily regulated industries…
Methane is not environmentally-friendly
Natural gas is cleaner-burning than coal and oil…
Fossil fuels have not improved the quality of life as air pollution is increasing
CO2 emissions have actually decreased due to conversion of coal-fired to natural gas fired power plants in part sparked by the shale boom

Some Key Takeaways
Slide 12
If the US shale industry were a country, it would rank as the world’s fifth largest hydrocarbon producer!
We are not running out of oil and gas. We have ample supplies for generations.
Hydrocarbons still supply 85% of the world’s energy (Forbes 2015)
Student demand strongly depends on oil as a commodity. Fossil fuel demand is increasing 3% per year worldwide.
Student demand for employment is gaining strength and will continue to grow for years to come.
You have a great opportunity to earn a job in the petroleum industry if you are good at what you do
Join Penn State Petroleum & Natural Gas Engineering if you have an aptitude for the sciences, physics, and mathematics
