Career

paths

New graduates in petroleum engineering enjoy a wide variety of career opportunities. Job placement is 100 percent by graduation; with most students in this field remaining satisfied with an advanced diploma and/or applied bachelor degree for their entire careers.
A career in oil and gas industry may begin anywhere—a small town, a large city in UAE, or a remote location in any oil and gas producing area of the Emirates. Most petroleum technologists and engineers are employed in the exploration, drilling, production and processing of oil and gas. Others pursue related careers in chemical engineering.
Most jobs involve a combination of office work and the use of expensive, computer-oriented, state-of-the-art technology, plus opportunities for trips to the field to supervise projects that the petroleum engineer has designed. All these activities are performed by technologists and engineers working for major, fully-integrated international oil companies; smaller independent operators; specialized companies that provide services for the producing companies; or consulting firms in oil and gas or the environmental arena.

Abu Dhabi Polytechnic SPE Student Chapter

Society of Petroleum Engineers

Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is the largest international organization serving the oil and gas industry in the upstream segment by collecting, disseminating, and exchanging technical knowledge concerning the exploration, development and production of oil and gas resources, and related technologies for the public benefit; and to provide opportunities for professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence.

The main goal is to connect university students with the upstream of the oil and gas industry by involving them in different events such as industrial visits, exhibitions and newsletters etc.

Our Chapter took place on February 2015 and it was involved in a number of activities of this kind such as in ADIPEC at Abu Dhabi, November 2015-1017. Members of our Chapter attended the SPE competition for UAE universities at ADIPEC and won 3rd place. Our students were involved in a panel session at ADIPEC Nov. 2015 as speakers to show their results about their research in the oil industry challenges.

The greatest achievement for our chapter was qualification to the final stage of PetroBowl Championship which took place in Dallas, US. At that level our students were competing with the best universities from different continents and gained a lot of experience and life-long memories.
