Petroleum Concentration

Students are encouraged to take three courses (9 credits) in a given sequence or combination in order to acquire a broad background in Petroleum Engineering, which would allow them to earn a job in oil and gas industries or continue their graduate education in the Petroleum Engineering filed. The Petroleum Engineering Program is carefully  designed to cover specific topics on petroleum origin, drilling and well completion, casing design, gas reservoirs, oil reservoirs, reservoir fluid properties, material balance calculations in gas and combination reservoirs, primary recovery, artificial gas lift, secondary recovery, tertiary recovery (EOR), hydraulic fracturing, and natural gas and oil processing.

You must obtain a 2.0 QPA in the sequence to obtain the concentration.
