Do you think Petroleum Engineers will be needed in 30 years?

some Petroleum Engineers will always be needed but how much smaller will that number be in 30 years?

eleventy

Yes because I don’t know how to convert bbls to gallons

It's possible that they will be less needed but that won't be because of any decrease in the use/necessity of petroleum....it will be because technology comes along that makes them less important.

It's also not a guarantee. If you think you have the discipline to do things that can help you in oil price down turns then the petroleum engineering field is a fairly viable field and I it's a relatively safe bet that it will be 30 years from now.

42.

Now you owe me $150,000.

Yeah, you can do it for 1 barrel.....but what if there were 100 barrels......how many gallons is it now smart guy???

You're joking right? If you're asking about retiring in LA as a Petro Eng I may not call you retarded because O&G has migrated out slowly but in general? Cmon man, please tell me you weren't smart enough to get close enough to graduate to have this thought.

yes, petroleum will still be needed in the future. Besides, they're pulling in so much money now, you could stack it up and retire before then anyway.

Dammit, I have a 57% chance of being replaced by a robot

71% of all oil and gas produced goes towards transpiration (cars, trucks, planes, ect.). I guess the only reason I question it is if electric or some other form of cars take off in the next 30 years where would that leave the demand?

Get a grip dude.
