Introduction This programme provides graduate engineers, geologists, and other scientists with specialist knowledge and understanding of the geology, performance and management of hydrocarbon reservoirs. The courses which make up this programme cover the fundamental science and technology of reservoir engineering, reservoir modelling and flow simulation, petrophysics, formation evaluation, and petroleum economics. Hands-on experience of using industry-standard software (e.g. Petrel and Eclipse) in all aspects of reservoir engineering and simulation is developed within the taught courses. A group design exercise provides students with an opportunity to apply a range of concepts to the appraisal of a prospect and selection of appropriate technologies and solutions for viable development and management of oil and gas fields. The group design exercise and a 15 week individual project enhance transferrable skills in presentation, report writing, organisation, project management and team-work. Our close working relationship with local industry ensures you are given the opportunity to visit industrial facilities and receive technical presentations by working professionals, to provide further practical exposure and awareness of professional and social responsibility. Wider societal topics such ethics, sustainability and environmental issues are covered in the taught courses as appropriate. Course Modules Semester 1 Compulsory Fundamentals of Petroleum Geoscience Petrophysics, Core Analysis and Formation Evaluation Reservoir Engineering Introduction to Energy Economics Semester 2 Compulsory Group Project and Research Skills Principles of Static and Dynamic Modelling Reservoir Simulation Semester 3 Project in Reservoir Engineering Courses Modules Why study at Aberdeen? The programme is delivered from the oil and gas captial of Europe in Aberdeen City where research, teaching and learning from industry needs has been paramount since the 1970s. You take a field trip to experience all elements and you gain exposure to a wider economic and business perspective of your role in markets Programme Quick Facts University of Aberdeen 12 Months Full Time September start Find out about fees on the programme page Find out about scholarships on the programme page Life in Aberdeen Find out more about: Your Accommodation Campus Facilities Aberdeen City Student Support Clubs and Societies /student-life Find out more about entry requirements on programme page View English Language Requirements on the programme page Find out more from the programme page
