Petroleum Industry Research is a very important aspect related to Petroleum industry all over the world. Its significance is increasing with the passage of time due to the following aspects :-
  • Petroleum is a non-renewable resource and is available under the earth's crust in limited quantity. So, research becomes essential in case of exploration of petroleum so that the supply side of it remains viable during the near future.
  • Petroleum Industry is generally accompanied by huge amount of pollution emission which required to be checked for social welfare. Hence, extensive Petroleum Industry Research is required in this field for the innovation of cutting edge technologies for controlling pollution emission.
  • Technologies for upstream as well as downstream projects
  • Research becomes necessary for the invention of catalysts
  • Petroleum Industry Research becomes important for innovation of technologies for the sake of desulfurization.
  • Implementation of nanotechnology in the field of Petroleum is an essential aspect of modern petroleum industry.


Petroleum Industry Research deals with the following different categories :-

  • Research is generally performed on upstream technologies under the following heads :-
    • Studies performed on geological as well as geophysical aspect for determining the petroleum rich site.
    • Studies relating to the petrophysical aspect
    • Studies and research related to managing the reservoir of petroleum
    • Petroleum Industry Research required for increasing the production of petroleum products

    Research is generally performed on downstream technologies under the following heads :-

    • Research is required for the process for hydro-conversion
    • Extensive study is required on part of the experts and analysts involved in Petroleum Industry Research for preparing carbon nanotubes.
    • Research becomes extremely important in case of formulating lubricants of new types.
    • Formulation of the base oils of synthetic type and its consequent production requires extensive research.
    • Petroleum Industry Research is inevitable in case of innovation of fuels of alternative type so that the emission of pollution is restricted to a minimum level along with efficient utilization of fuel.
