My daughter is following mathematics. What is the best school for studies in the girls of crude oil production
Is she looking for Petroleum Engineering, or more in the area of Mining/Exploration? Colorado School of Mines and Texas A & M are two of the best known, but there are others.
Almost all suitable programs are co-ed. It would be very difficult to find an all-female school with strength in that specific field. If she wants a women’s college, she would probably need to select a more general field of study (e.g. Geology, et al).
Smith College has a general engineering degree, but not petroleum engineering.
U. Tulsa
Wyoming
Here are the top 17 schools with ABET accredited petroleum engineering majors:
Colorado School of Mines
Louisiana State University and A&M College
Marietta College
Missouri University of Science and Technology
Montana Tech of the University of Montana
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
Pennsylvania State University
Texas A&M University
Texas Tech University
The University of Kansas
The University of Tulsa
University of Alaska Fairbanks
University of Louisiana at Lafayette
University of Oklahoma
University of Texas at Austin
University of Wyoming
West Virginia University
West Virginia University?

In the girls? What do you mean? At women only schools?

So does she want to major in PetE or ChemE?
Is she a domestic student or int’l?
What is your budget? How much will you spend each year?
What are her stats?
I think you need to be more specific in which part of the oil industry/production you’re talking about. Exploration? Reservoir/petroleum engineering? Or the business/management aspects?
Crude oil futures trading would seen to be a good career bet, but petroleum engineering is a very shaky career choice now.

t, but petroleum engineering is a very shaky career choice now.

I have heard that, too. I thought that more students with petroleum interests were choosing ChemE or other E disciplines to be more marketable.
Petroleum engineering job markets tend to be correlated to oil prices.
The PetE job market is down from past years, but it is still a very strong field - much better job prospects even now than many other fields, and industry experts predict a very strong job market in 5 years - about when this years’ high school juniors and seniors would be graduating in PetE. That being said, I don’t know what field the OP means by “crude oil production”. PetE? Geology? Geophysics? Something else?
ChemE would be a safer bet. She may then choose difference focus in ChemE when she knows more in the field.
Pet E may be shaky today, but in four to six years, there is no knowing what will happen. It really only takes one world crisis for oil to go way up and Pet E majors to be in demand. I think OP will need to do a little research on what part of crude oil production his daughter wants to do and what major she should pursue, but if it is Pet E, the list above is good.
One thing that is concerning is that he seems to be concerned about where it is good for girls to study engineering. Colleges are trying to attract women into engineering because it is a male dominated field both in school and in the working world. Particularly in Pet E, the engineer may likely be expected to travel to countries where women are not treated as equally as in the U.S. It is possible to avoid it, but may limit some opportunities.
Stanford is highly ranked, but it’s PetE degree is now called Energy Resources Engineering. Same degree though. University of Houston has a good program. Note that the list from @ucbalumnus is alphabetical, not by rank.
A Chemical Engineering degree from nearly anywhere can place a graduate into a job with a major petroleum company, as can a Geology degree.
Note that you’ll need a MS or PhD to really be employable by the major oil companies. Unless you aspire to be a mudlogger of course.
@Fatsquirrel - I presume that the OP lives overseas, and expects his daughter to be employed outside of the US where degree requirements might be different.
