MSc in Petroleum Engineering
The main global energy-source will remain hydrocarbons for many years to come.
Resources will be less accessible and more advanced technology will be required to extract them. More oil and gas will have to be produced from deep-water or Arcticcondition reserves yielding heavy oil or gas hydrates. The need for skilled engineers will increase for many reasons: new technological challenges, increasing demand for oil and gas, and because many petroleum engineers will reach the retirement age within the next 5-10 years.
The aim of the education in Petroleum Engineering is to train highly qualified engineers for the petroleum industry. The graduates will work in research, production and/or consultancy within a very international industry - petroleum production.
The MSc Program in Petroleum Engineering is interdisciplinary and includes a number
of engineering disciplines. The program comprises the following areas:
1. Geology, Geophysics and Rock Mechanics
2. Reservoir Engineering and Process Technology
Each student can choose to focus on topics within geology and geophysics or topics
within reservoir engineering and production. The basic skills in petroleum engineering
are the same for all students.
