As a petroleum engineering student, you will be studying the technology of oil and gas drilling, production, reserves estimation and the prediction of future production.
You will also study the various techniques for evaluating the characteristics of petroleum-bearing formations and their fluid contents. You'll have the experimental and computational tools to help you study the technology of well logging, well testing, well stimulation, petroleum reservoir engineering, and secondary and tertiary recovery.
For the Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering, a minimum of 128 credit hours is required. These requirements are in addition to credit received for algebra, trigonometry, and basic ROTC courses. A student must maintain at least two grade points per credit hour for all courses taken in Petroleum Engineering.
