石油与天然气工程理学学士学位

对石油和天然气工程设计有广泛的了解，因为它们与能源需求，经济稳定性，国家安全以及石油和天然气工程计划中的进一步探索有关。您将运用关键的科学和工程原理来应对当今石油和天然气行业所面临的挑战。石油天然气工程专业（PNGE）在基础科学和工程理论与实践的坚实基础上，提供了对石油和天然气行业各个阶段的最新了解。该专业分为两个平行的顺序：第一个重点是油藏工程，第二个重点是钻井和生产。该计划的最终课程是有关工程设计的经济现实和决策的含义。
The undergraduate curriculum in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering has been designed to equip the student with the fundamentals necessary to achieve lifelong professional growth. Graduates are prepared to enter both the private and public sectors as petroleum and natural gas engineers or to pursue further education at the graduate level. Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering is a field related to the extraction of hydrocarbon resources (either crude oil or natural gas) from subsurface reservoirs. As such, petroleum and natural gas engineers predominantly work in the upstream sector of the oil and energy industries, which comprises exploration, field development, well drilling, production and injection well optimization, and wastewater disposal and CO2 sequestration well planning. Once oil and gas are discovered, petroleum engineers determine optimum drilling and completion methods, monitor and manage production operations, and design reservoir development strategies. They have the responsibility of providing engineering solutions with global economic, environmental, geopolitical, and societal impacts. Petroleum and natural gas engineers work closely with geoscientists and other science and technology specialists. In addition to hydrocarbon extraction, they are also well-suited to solve complex problems in geothermal energy, geological carbon sequestration, wastewater disposal, and environmental remediation of soil, groundwater, and other geologic media.
