3 Doctorates in Petroleum Engineering 2021

The Ph.D. in Petroleum Geosciences aims to stimulate research and development to foster innovative solutions to challenges in science, technology, and engineering. -

The Ph.D. Degree in Petroleum Engineering usually takes four to five years to complete. It involves course work and research leading to the Ph.D. Thesis. Ph.D. research within the Petroleum Engineering Department is broad, applying fundamental and applied sciences to investigate some of today's hot topics. Students gain advanced knowledge of petroleum engineering theory and its relationship to real-life problems, including reservoir characterization and engineering, enhanced oil recovery and production operations, fluid flow in porous media, modeling of fluid properties of crude oil and natural gas, multiphase flow in wells. Ph.D. graduates will be equipped with the important skills necessary for research and academia. -

The Energy Resources and Petroleum Engineering Academic Program, for Ph.D. students, focuses on modern reservoir description, engineering, and management. Students in this program receive broad training in basic scientific concepts and thermodynamics, geology, geophysical characterization, and reservoir engineering. Our students participate in scientific research activities that may include mathematical analyses, computational modeling, experimental research and/or field studies. The candidates focus on original research driven to advance the boundaries of knowledge. -
