Program Summary
Petroleum and gas engineering is a field of study that focuses on the exploration, extraction, and production of oil and natural gas resources. It combines elements of mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering to design and operate the systems and infrastructure required for drilling, processing, and transporting these energy resources. The course covers a broad range of topics, including reservoir engineering, drilling technology, production techniques, and safety protocols. Students also learn about the environmental and economic aspects of the petroleum industry, as well as how to manage and optimize production efficiently while minimizing environmental impact. The curriculum typically includes both theoretical knowledge and hands-on training in laboratories, with a strong emphasis on practical problem-solving and the application of advanced technologies in the field. Petroleum and gas engineering graduates are prepared for careers in oil and gas exploration companies, energy firms, or related industries, where they apply their skills to meet the growing demand for energy resources worldwide.
