| Description: | "The primary goals of the program are to produce 50 to 60 highly-qualified U.S. and international students each year, placing these students in entry-level industry positions or graduate programs, and to maintain an ABET-accredited program in petroleum engineering. If we are to reach these goals, we believe we must give our students the best possible preparation to enter this industry. Our curriculum gives every student a solid foundation in petroleum engineering fundamentals, but we also insist on experience in the industry. As a result, our graduates will enter the industry ready to be productive contributors, but they also will understand the need to continue to learn and improve their skills throughout their careers. Hydraulic fracturing, reservoir description, artificial intelligence, reservoir management, well control, offshore drilling technology, multi-phase flow, pumping and measurement, well testing, enhanced oil recovery, determination of ultimate oil and gas reserves, and artificial lift." |
