The study of mining, oil, and gas includes operations involving the exploration, extraction, and evaluation of minerals, petroleum, metals, and fossil fuels from the earth. Mining Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, and Gas Engineering are gaining global attention with each passing year. With an attempt to pay heed to a safe and environmentally sound establishment in the work they do, Mining, Gas, and Petroleum Engineers resort to sustain the environment, simultaneously. These fields of engineering are an exciting range of study which provides learners with experience in outdoor and indoor works. The survey, examination, and investigation for fluids in the earth range from mining, oil, gas, and drilling. Besides, this sub-discipline educates students on design to qualify them for management problems. This will make them fit in monitoring and supervising petroleum projects, oil recovery, drilling, fundamentals of rock and fluids, as well as environmental and safety issues.

The primary objective of Mining, Petroleum, and Gas Engineering is to draw and implement a healthy approach for the recovery of petroleum fluids like oil and gas. This is done to fulfil the ever-increasing demand for fuel and energy, along with pollution management. Students of Mining, Petroleum, and Gas studies have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and extend it to the study of geology and geophysics as well. A successful degree within this curriculum will make one eligible for original scientific research and exponentially build their skills for a professional and lucrative career. The extraction of mineral resources from the earth as well as planning for the construction of mines falls under the supervision and responsibility of Mining, Petroleum, and Gas Engineers.
