This MSc course trains petroleum engineering professionals to understand the workflow concepts now prevailing in the oil industry, and therefore prepare them fully for work in multidisciplinary teams. The course provides a 12-month 'conversion' from other engineering and science-based foundations into the specialties of petroleum engineering and is designed for those with industrial experience, as well as for new graduates.
The course begins in early October.
Formal lectures, problem classes, laboratories and computer exercises take place on a full-time structured basis from October to March, during the academic terms, and cover a total of 390 hours. The course curriculum is organised around five teaching modules. All modules feature petroleum engineering laboratories, field trip, seminars with industry, communication skills classes, and each module covers the following:
* Fundamental knowledge of reservoirs, fluids, production mechanisms and basic equations of flow through porous media
* Reservoir characterisation process and integration of knowledge from various types of data into a reservoir model
* Well engineering and well performance prediction (drilling, completion, NodalTM analysis, stimulation)
* Simulation of the behaviour of the reservoir model and the prediction of reservoir performance
* Surface facilities and field development
GROUP PROJECT:
This integrated study uses the latest industry standard software and hardware to undertake the evaluation and development of a North Sea hydrocarbon field. The objective is to interrelate separate subjects taught in formal lectures: characterisation, drilling, well and reservoir optimisation, the design of surface facilities, economic forecasting and application to regulatory authorities. Data for the project is then integrated into a development proposal. The petroleum geoscience and petroleum engineering areas cooperate closely, the objective being to create a common culture enabling professionals from the various disciplines to understand their own potential contribution, particularly to the reservoir characterisation process, as well as that of others. To that end, the reservoir characterisation phase of the group project is carried out in multidisciplinary groups, which reproduce the make-up of an asset team. Individual projects
INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS:
The individual project provides the opportunity to study a particular aspect of petroleum engineering in depth, thus expanding the knowledge acquired in the taught modules. In many cases, the project is undertaken in collaboration with industry and students are offered a choice of industrial placements in the UK and abroad.

The College Senate has approved the tests set out below. Please note that the scores or grades indicated are the minimum levels generally acceptable to the College. Departments have the discretion to prescribe higher requirements either for specific courses of study or in specific cases where there are serious doubts as to the abilities of individual students to undertake proposed programmes of study.
Students must make arrangements to take the appropriate test well in advance of the start of their course. Places will not be confirmed and students will not be allowed to register until confirmation of an acceptable result has been received as set out below.
* A first degree taught in English within the following countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, Guyana, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States of America, West Indies.
* Candidates whose first degree was not taught in English but who have then successfully completed a one-year MSc (or equivalent) course at a UK university.
* A grade of not less than C in English Language in GCSE, IGCSE, GCE `O´ Level or equivalent.
* A grade of not less than C in the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE).
* A pass in the University Test of English for Speakers of Other Languages (UETESOL).
* British Council IELTS Test
A score of not less than 6.5 including a score of 5.0 or better in the written and spoken English elements of the academic test.
* TOEFL
A score of not less than 90 overall in the internet-based test (iBT), to include 24 in Writing and 20 in Speaking; or 600 in the paper-based test (PBT), or 250 in the computer-based test (CBT), both to include a minimum score of 4.5 in the written English.
