MSc in Petroleum Engineering/ Petroleum Geosciences
– About the programme
Are you interested in the exploration and production of oil and gas? Would you like to develop knowledge crucial to value creation and the safe, efficient and environmentally-friendly exploration of the natural resources on the continental shelf?
Our vision is to be a central participant in a value-creating and sustainable development on the continental shelf and in the northern regions of the Barents Sea.
We offer a two-year long international Master’s programme with full integration of Norwegian and foreign students, where the language of instruction is English. All courses award 7.5 ECTS credits and are adjusted to fit the programmes Geosciences and Petroleum Engineering.
The programme focuses on the following areas of activity:
Exploration and production of oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf
Methods for increased oil recovery factor
Develop platform solutions and subsea production equipment for great water depths
Demands for environmental considerations in the northern regions.
Specialization can be obtained within the areas drilling technology, petroleum production, reservoir technology, formation evaluation, petroleum geology/geophysics, seismology and reservoir seismology. Examples of specialization could be:
Interpretation of geological data from an oil company
Modelling of processes within our fields with calibration tests in the laboratory
Evaluation of practical problems in offshore operations.
Final application deadline: 1 February 2008 Applicants who have passed through the preliminary screening can expect to receive the final application form in early January 2008, sent directly to their email address.
