The department provides an abundance of opportunities to engage with....
In this program, you'll explore the full lifecycle of oil and gas production, from understanding subsurface geology and designing drilling operations to optimizing production and ensuring safe, efficient processing. You'll also gain skills in data analysis, simulations, and sustainable energy practices, preparing you for a future in one of the world's most vital industries.
The Oil and Gas Engineering department prepares engineers to explore, develop and produce oil and gas resources safely and efficiently. The program covers petroleum geology, reservoir engineering, drilling and well engineering, production and natural gas engineering, pipelines, and health, safety and environment. The department offers a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Oil and Gas Engineering: 144 credit hours over 8 semesters (four years).
Provide support to all students, as well as countless opportunities to make new friends
Reservoir engineers and geoscientists locate hydrocarbon reserves, estimate how much can be recovered and plan field development, using geology, rock and fluid properties, well testing and reservoir simulation.
Drilling and production engineers design and operate onshore and offshore wells, and keep oil and gas flowing efficiently through well completion, artificial lift and surface processing facilities.
Engineers in this field design gas processing, liquefaction and pipeline systems that move energy to markets, and apply health, safety and risk-assessment practices that protect people, assets and the environment.
