Right now, upstream because oil is over $100/bbl and that is the breadwinner division of the oil industry.

Honestly though, no one knows how long high oil prices will last.

If I were you, and you liked engineering, I'd choose mechanical or chemical engineering. They'll offer you more broad opportunities if the good times in the oil industry ends.

The oil industry is facing a severe shortage of engineers...a lot of experienced personnel is retiring. It's a new golden age for new engineers.
