The areas of expertise that graduate students may study in Petroleum Engineering are drilling, reservoir, and production engineering.
Although the general structure of a student’s selection of courses for the M.S. degree will be adapted to the student’s area of interest, every candidate must include in the selection at least five (5) of the following courses, which then constitutes the core curriculum for the M.S. in Petroleum Engineering:
Course No. | Course Title |
---|---|
PET 5010 | Advanced Drilling |
PET 5020 | Production Operations Design |
PET 5030 | Surface Production Operations |
PET 5050 | Pressure Transient Testing |
PET 5110 | Reservoir Simulation Methods |
PET 5210 | Equations of State |
PET 5440 | Advanced Enhanced Oil Recovery |
A qualifying exam is required for all options in the Petroleum Engineering Department during the 2nd semester.
