upstream oil/gas is more for mechanical/civil engineers ... the actual drilling of oil/gas from ground/undersea
downstream is the refining and petrochemical plants... more for chemical engineers
specialty chemicals and pharmas are also chemial engineers ....
Basically they teach unit operations (separation processes) in chem. eng. syllabus . The basics can be applied to almost all chemical plants whether oil refinery, petrochem , specialty chem, or pharma as all plants consist of a series of separation processing units , sometimes with chemical reactor units.
