Introduction

This course is comprehensive in nature providing multidisciplinary education and hands -on training in petroleum engineering. The course is intended as a pre-requisite course of one year's duration, which qualifies candidates who achieve marks higher than 65% Course Weighted Average in all units, to take the Master of Petroleum Engineering (M Pet Eng) course. The one year of this course will be credited towards the M Pet Eng course. The teaching staff in the Department are professionals with many years of working experience in the oil and gas industry. This course is structured on a semester basis and therefore takes two semesters (one year) to complete.
