Petroleum industry began with the successful drilling of the first oil well
in 1985.
Petroleum exists in liquid state which is found in stone formations. It has been
used for over 5000 years. The Petroleum industry was established in the 8
th
century. It plays an important role in our society, especially in the world’s
development. We all need petroleum because it can be used to cook and operate
machines. It also contributes the amount of money to the GDP yearly.
In order to make use up our strong points, we have two Mining and Geology
Universities in Hanoi Capital and Quang Ninh Province, especially we have Ba
Ria – Vung Tau University where provides millions of engineers who are expert
in petroleum.
However, the problem obstructing Vietnam to have professional engineers in
petroleum is the plenty of complicated terms which confuse our workers or even
engineers. This motivates me to willingly do something to break this hider and
take it easy for everyone who is interested in petroleum industry. For this reason,
I decided to choose this topic for my graduation paper.
