About the program
The Oil and Gas program is offered in response to the growing demand from the petroleum industry for graduates of petroleum engineers, who have the appropriate theoretical knowledge and practical experience to participate in the development of the oil and gas sector. The program focuses on integrating well and reservoir drilling engineering and production engineering with the needs of the petroleum industries. The program is also distinguished by the fact that it was prepared by a committee of specialized experts in accordance with accredited international academic programs and meets the national standards (NARS) and the standards of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
The program contains 56 courses distributed over 153 theoretical and practical credit hours. To implement the practical part, 8 specialized laboratories are available according to the latest technology in oil companies’ laboratories, and they consist of well drilling and completion fluids laboratories, cement laboratories, reservoir rock properties and fluid properties laboratories, a geology laboratory, a fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratory, and a computer applications laboratory in the petroleum industry. In addition, the program provides electronic educational services that help students invest their time optimally.
The program is implemented by a group of faculty members and specialized engineers with academic and field experience in the extractive industry.
