Petroleum Engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas. It involves searching, extracting, and processing crude oil and natural gas from the earth by using safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly methods.

Understanding the importance of the world running by supplying energy to fuel homes, cars and gadgets is the role of a Petroleum Engineer. Not only this but petroleum also helps in creating everyday products such as medicine, cosmetics and even plastic and many more. Joining the petroleum engineering program in Malaysia will take 4-years of study, learning the fundamentals of physics and chemistry as well as numerous projects in year 4 study in Malaysia.
The study of master in Petroleum Engineering in Malaysia will teach you the stages of Oil Production
Exploration- Studying to predict the potential production of petroleum of the dig sites.
Extraction- Deciding the most effective way of drilling methods and equipment, and managing the technical aspects of drilling and production.
Here are the best petroleum engineering programs
The petroleum program in Malaysia on average is 4 years duration.
If you want to study Petroleum Engineering at the University of Malaysia, you will first need to clear the pre-university course like the A-Level, STPM or Foundation in Science. And then you can pursue admission in Petroleum Engineering Degree.
The requirements to get a Degree in Petroleum Engineering you will need:
The thing to remember is that the eligibility criteria might differ in different Universities for Petroleum Engineering in Malaysia, so it's recommended that you research well before you choose your University in Malaysia.
To study Petroleum Engineering from University in Malaysia, you will have to pay an approx of RM 100,000 per year. However, the tuition fees differ from University to University so it is suggested that you do your research well even before you plan to study in Malaysia.
Petroleum Engineering Graduates from Malaysia University can work in Oil & Gas Industry in Oil Exploration and Production companies, Engineering Consultancies and specialist drilling contractors

Petroleum Engineering being a challenging and intellectual industry, this Degree programme will teach you everything you need to know to excel in this field. To enhance the petroleum production process, you will be taught how to analyse geological datas, plan and construct oil wells as well as to use computer applications and mathematical models. Below you will find some subjects you may study: Engineering Mathematics Fluid Mechanics Petroleum Geology Reservoir Engineering Drilling Engineering Oil & Gas Operations Health, Safety and Environment Engineering Sustainable Development Project Management You will also get hands-on experience and training in industries so that you are exposed to working in the oil and gas industry.
To become a petroleum engineer, you must have a bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering. Candidates possessing bachelor's degree in mechanical or chemical engineering can also work in this field but bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering is preferred first.
Much like a variety of other engineering courses, petroleum engineering is looked upon as being a difficult course for many students to finish. But it is truly as hard as everyone thinks it is? It is true that there are a large number of dropouts from this course, and it is heavily reliant on math and physics.
To get on to a relevant degree course, you usually need three A levels, with maths and/or physics preferable. You also need five GCSEs A-C, including maths, English and science. Level 3 vocational qualifications in engineering are accepted by some universities – check with them for details.
