Graduate Diploma of Oil and Gas Engineering

This program is designed to provide participants with engineering training in the mining and exploration of oil and gas deposits. The training includes the exploration, production, refining, environmental safety, measurement, gas processing plants, standards and practices in the oil and gas industry. The participants will be required to apply the principles covered in the program to real life oil and gas organizations. To be awarded the Diploma of Oil and Gas Engineering, students must complete the following 12 units.

 

Stage 1

ENGD 101 – Hydraulics and general engineering mechanics in oil and gas

ENGD 102 – Environmental health and safety in oil and gas industry

ENGD 103 – Geological & physical, hydrodynamic bases of mining deposits

ENGD 104 – Geophysical and hydro- dynamical researches of chinks

 

Stage 2

ENGD 105 – Mining of oil and gas deposits

ENGD 106 – Intensification of oil extraction

ENGD 107 – Increase of layers feedback

ENGD 108 – Settlement of crafts, gathering and preparation of chinks

 

Stage 3

ENGD 109 – Management of complications in drilling and operation of chinks

ENGD 110 – Mining of deposits abnormal-viscous (un-Newton) oil

ENGD 111 – Features of mining and operation of deposits on a continental shelf

ENGD 112 – Oil and gas business final year project

 

This program may be completed in 1 year depending on the number of units taken per trimester. Each year is divided into 3 trimesters and each trimester is 13 weeks duration. Students can commence study in the middle of January, May or September of every year.
