Petroleum industry

"The oil industry has been involved on a worldwide scale. US-based petroleum output is increasing significantly, putting US on pace to surpass Saudi Arabia as the world's largest producer in 2020. Oil companies are in need of engineers for the design and construction of new faculties, production, processing and storage. Their expertise is used primarily to make a facility operational, but the customary objective is to train and develop a local work force to run the plant once it is fully functional." Page 113
