Location of The University of Manchester

This course combines the teaching and research strength of our geoscience and chemical engineering schools, and is designed to meet the demand in the oil industry for development geoscientists. The course produces graduates with specialism in appraisal / development / production geoscience and reservoir engineering. The course emphasizes characterization of the reservoir and modeling, fluid flow within often complex reservoirs, to field development and management. The geoscience school has strong clastic and carbonate research groups, and the course draws upon this expertise. The oil industry has clear objectives to enhance oil recovery from existing and new oil and gas fields, to improve recovery and extend the life of existing fields, and this course aims to meet the training needs for skilled personnel.

The course comprises a number of core geoscience and petroleum engineering modules, designed to provide students with the necessary skills for a career in production geoscience and engineering.

The course offers:

* A dedicated teaching team of experienced academic and industrial tutors
* Strong links with industry
* Builds on the research undertaken in the University, within the leading Petroleum Geoscience and Chemical Engineering research establishments in the UK
* Offers a truly integrated analysis of reservoir systems, combining engineering and geoscience skills needed to unlock future reservoir potential
* Utilises Manchester's growing carbonate research group
* World class facilities, with dedicated teaching rooms and workstation suites, and access to all industry-standard geoscience and engineering software

The course is designed to meet industry needs, with very good employment opportunities. There is a strong industrial component; several course units are taught by industry specialists and there is potential to undertake research projects linked to oil companies.
