M.Eng. in Petroleum Engineering
The online M.Eng. in Petroleum Engineering provides a core body of knowledge of advanced topics in petroleum engineering and prepares students for leadership positions in drilling, reservoir, production engineering and formation evaluation.
Program Goals
The Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University has developed a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree program focused towards the industry audience. The approach used provides a core body of knowledge of advanced topics in petroleum engineering. Students should be prepared for leadership positions in drilling, reservoir, production engineering and formation evaluation.
Upon completion of the degree, students will be able to perform advanced-level tasks in drilling, production, and reservoir engineering. For example, horizontal and multilateral drilling techniques, advanced analysis of production and well test data, prediction of long-term reservoir performance, and advanced tasks in Formation Evaluation (analysis/correlation of well log/petrophysical data)--including geostatistics, non-parametric optimization, etc.
Program Description
The M.Eng. program requires coursework in drilling, production, and reservoir engineering as means of providing depth and breadth in these skills. The M.Eng. is a working degree, one that complements the petroleum engineer's work requirements. However, it also provides challenges that yield a significant growth in technical skills.
Target Audience
The ideal candidate for the Master of Engineering program was either educated (BS degree) as a petroleum engineer or has an engineering education (BS degree) and has worked as a petroleum engineer.
