Mechanical engineering is one of the structural foundations of the oil and gas industry, providing innovative solutions for the exploration, production, transportation, and processing of hydrocarbons. This article explores the deep relationship between mechanical engineering and the oil and gas sector, highlighting the role of extraction, drilling, pumping, and process control technologies. The analysis is supported by updated literature reviews and recent case studies (CUNHA et al., 2019; SILVA; ALMEIDA, 2021; SOUZA, 2022), highlighting how advances in materials, automation, and sustainability shape the future of this strategic industry. Finally, the article reflects on contemporary challenges and future perspectives in the context of the global energy transition.
