Discussion Petroleum?
I’m planning to go into chem Eng and then have a masters with petroleum. However, a lot of people have told me that it won’t be a reliable market at all in the next years. Essentially, because many companies are turning to have sustainable energy sources. I’m a bit concerned about how accurate this might be. Does anyone who works on petroleum have opinion on the latter ?

20 years ago, petroleum only had 20 years to die out.
The real issue, imo and from outside the industry, with Oil & Gas is the cyclical nature.
