Introduction The MSc Petroleum Engineering is the latest addition to our world class suite of engineering programmes; bringing students closer to the energy industry. The programme is designed with industry support and aims to produce world class Petroleum Engineering professionals that are fully prepared to take up essential roles in the upstream oil and gas industry. Drawing upon a long established track record of excellence in teaching and research, the programme will be jointly delivered by the School of Engineering and School of Geosciences, as well as key informed contribution from industry based lecturers and tutors. The programme will enable you to develop skills and understanding in the fundamental aspects of petroleum engineering, in particular, formation evaluation, well drilling and production, reservoir engineering and simulation. You will also be able to appraise and select the appropriate technologies for safe production and enhancing the recovery of hydrocarbon oil and gas. The programme aims to equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills required for an integrated study and evaluation of a prospect, leading to a viable oil and gas field development plan.
