I don't know why you are not aware of the many applications and projects that Chemical Engineers handle in the hydrocarbon upstream sector, but I can attest to the fact that there are many jobs handled by Chem Es there.

 

I have worked on many upstream job assignments through the years such as:

• field phase separation;
• produced gas treatment and dehydration;
• crude conditioning;
• gas compression and transport;
• CO₂ enhanced oil recovery (EOR);
• Gas lift with natural gas dehydration;
• Gas separation and purification.
