Petroleum Engineering involves the technology of economically developing and producing subterranean reservoirs of oil, gas, steam, and hot water and designing underground waste disposal facilities. This technology relies on basic concepts of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and economics. Because more than 300 products are derived from petroleum, it has become a vital part of our everyday life. The petroleum industry is one of the largest and most promin...

Why would any company expend hundreds of thousands of dollars to seek, recruit, and hire the best employees then leave their development and performance to "lucky chance" through ineffective supervision/management? Unfortunately that "chance" occurs every time an employee is promoted to a supervisory/managerial position without training in the techniques and practices of effective supervision/management.

How can we "assume" that because one is an excellent en...
