Find out more. Engineering Society Student led social and employability events and networking. Science and technology. Resource development and utilization. The power generated by relentless curiosity. All of these are bound up in the study of petroleum engineering. And more. Department of Petroleum Engineering. These are just some of the reasons for choosing UW. Here are a few others:.
Personal attention. The UW engineering college boasts an faculty-student ratio and 90 percent of courses are taught by engineering professors not grad students. This means more access to faculty, more opportunities for mentoring, more insight into petroleum-related careers.
Study with people who are breaking ground in areas such as clean energy, shale gas, shale oil, rock physics and reservoir modeling. Professors of practice offer insights into the way the industry actually operates, based on their many years of experience. They form teams with geologists to determine the best methods for depleting reservoirs. Related disciplines include drilling, reservoir simulation, well engineering, petroleum geology, and geophysics. Since the beginning of petroleum engineering, in the early 20th century, many easily accessed deposits have been depleted.
Fuel harvesting has become more dependent on fresh technologies incorporating horizontal drilling and computer modeling. Drilling in deserts and in deep waters requires today's engineers to have expertise in intelligent systems, geomechanics, and hydraulics, naming only a few things on their growing list of knowledge bases.
This curriculum combines college-level mathematics with basic sciences, developing a working knowledge of thermodynamics, material properties, fluid mechanics, material strengths, transport situations, and phase behavior what to expect from resources when working with them.
Students develop competence in well design and analysis, drilling procedures, and evaluation of subsurface geology. They design and analyze systems that produce, inject, and handle fluids, optimizing resource development and management, using reservoir engineering principles and practices. They are proficient with project economics and resource valuation practices for decision-making under risky and uncertain conditions.
Topping off this degree is a design experience, preparing students for engineering practice, using the knowledge and skills acquired in their coursework. The four-year curriculum prepares graduates to begin careers in the industry. They have the skills to apply the engineering principles to the problems and solution methods analogous to the industry. A 6-week internship of approved experience in oilfield operation can be required for registration in senior-year courses.
Schools with online services typically offer only advanced master's degree programs for students specializing in oil and gas engineering.
