This comprehensive course has been designed and delivered in collaboration with highly experienced oil and gas professionals and enables you to become student members of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) and Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IME). It aims to equip you with the advanced sector-specific knowledge and skills required to succeed in the competitive, ever-evolving energy industry. You will study the engineering theory, technology, systems and practice associated with the full oil and gas life-cycle, examining upstream, midstream and downstream operations from exploration and production, right through to refining and marketing. The learning outcomes in the all of taught modules are assessed by a combination of coursework assignments, in-class tests, presentations, essays, or as stipulated in the University’s assessment procedures. Assessment varies for each module and may be 100% based on coursework, such as a phase test or written report, or 100% based on your dissertation/project. The full range of assessments for the course allows students to demonstrate critical and analytical thinking, application of theory, understanding of knowledge and original work. The extensive use of tutorials and group working enable formative assessments to be made. Whilst most modules include group working, the majority of summative assessment is individual and therefore more discriminatory. The individual project accounts for a third of the credits, and is an individual summative piece of work. On successful completion, you should be able to: demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of appropriate technology selection, process engagement and the relationship between engineering responses and project needs in an oil and gas engineering context; appreciate relevant global constraints, such as health and safety, assessing the impact of current engineering forces and technological change upon the effectiveness and efficiency of equipment and plant within the oil and gas industry; and identify and provide innovative design solutions to complex oil and gas engineering problems.
