Introduction

Petroleum Engineering involves in the exploration and production activities of petroleum at the upstream end of the energy sector. The curriculum in Petroleum Engineering is intended to prepare students for the petroleum industry and other fields which involve fluid flow through subsurface formations and particularly for those professions which have to do with drilling, production, reservoir engineering and transportation of oil, gas, and other subsurface resources.

The programed stresses the development of strong fundamentals in mathematics, sciences and engineering followed by a thorough coverage of fundamental petroleum engineering courses such as Introduction to Petroleum Engineering, Petroleum Geoscience, Drilling Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, Well Test Analysis and others. Courses in geology provide an understanding of the geological structures and conditions favorable for petroleum deposits. The fundamental courses in petroleum engineering which illustrate the application of the engineering principles to the type of problems and solution methods used in the petroleum industry.

In the later years of study, students will have the opportunity to major in one of these selected areas:

• Reservoir Studies
• Drilling Engineering
• Production Technology

Programme Educational Objective

• To produce technically qualified Petroleum Engineers with the potential to become leaders of Oil and Gas industry.
• To produce Petroleum Engineers who are committed to sustainable development of Oil and Gas industry for the betterment of society and nation

Programme Outcomes

To produce well-rounded graduates with the following outcomes:

• Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and specialisations to the solution of complex Petroleum Engineering problems.
• Identify, formulate and analyse complex Petroleum Engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
• Design solutions for complex Petroleum Engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate considerate for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
• Conduct investigation into complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
• Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex Petroleum Engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
• Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional Petroleum Engineering practice.
