Course Objectives
The Petroleum Engineering undergraduate program is primarily concerned with the training on how to engage in the economic extraction of oil and gas natural resources from the earth. Producing oil and gas is accomplished through the exploration, design, drilling, and operation of wells and well systems, and the integrated management of the underground reservoirs in which the resources are found.
