Master of Science [M.Sc] [Petroleum Engineering] From London South Bank University

Please note: Part-time option is not available to international students!

On this programme from you'll learn the mathematics, science, computer-based methods, design, and engineering practice to solve petroleum engineering problems of varying complexity, taking in consideration the economic, social and environmental context.

You'll gain a detailed knowledge of the integrated model of the oil reservoir, so that you'll be able to predict, maintain and improve oil and gas production processes. You'll benefit from the detailed instruction you receive on a suite of software packages that are used in the oil and gas industries to maximize costeffective production from the field, these include: PETREL, HYSYS, Eclipse, Prosper and GAP.

At the end of the programme you should have obtained a deep and broad knowledge of the integrated model of the oil reservoir in order to predict, improve, maintain and to innovate the processes of oil and gas production.

The complexity of the oil and gas industry offers a wide variety of opportunities for career development to petroleum engineers.

In most oil companies worldwide the petroleum engineering team consists of a geologist, a reservoir engineer, a petro-physicist, a drilling engineer and a production engineer. With this Masters qualification you'll be qualified to apply for positions in all of these fields. Each member of this team will be concentrating on their own aspect of the larger task in hand, which is to maximise cost-effective production from the field.

As a graduate of the MSc in Petroleum Engineering your profile will match the needs in different areas of oil and gas production, and reservoir engineering in large companies, which offer attractive graduate programmes, and in medium and small operating and consulting companies.
