No, there is a difference between petrochemical and petroleum engineering. A petroleum engineer typically deals with the process of producing oil and gas from the reservoir, thus needing knowledge of reservoir and oil/gas wells. A petrochemical engineer deals with the production of petroleum based chemicals which is carried out in a refinery. This require knowledge of chemical/process engineering like separation, unit operations etc.
