Oil and Gas Engineering

What is taught in this program

Students in this program study the search for oil and gas deposits, their extraction and processing. In the first years, mathematics, physics, chemistry and general engineering subjects are taught, followed by specialized courses.

• fundamentals of geology and the study of oil and gas fields;
• technologies for drilling wells and obtaining products from them;
• transportation and storage of oil and gas, pipeline transport;
• processes for refining oil and gas products;
• hydraulics, thermodynamics and machine parts;
• computer modeling and the use of modern software.

Practical classes and laboratory work help connect theoretical knowledge with real processes.
