Overview
Explore, design, drill, and produce oil, gas, and other natural resources from the Earth with a degree in Petroleum Engineering from Montana Tech!
Montana Tech's Petroleum Engineering program is on of the largest offered in the United States! Students can utilize five state of the art laboratories, completely equipped for simulating drilling and
production of oil and gas wells and analysis of rock
and fluid properties, providing much-needed “hands-on”
experience.
Choose to specialize in one of three areas:
- Reservoir Engineering: Study the physical properties of oil and gas reservoirs with the goal of maximizing recovery while accommodating economic constraints. Learn to estimate reserves, perform economic evaluations, and conduct reservoir simulation studies using computer modeling.
- Drilling Engineering: Learn to design oil and gas drilling operations in an environmentally sound manner and face challenges such as gas kicks, corrosion, and offshore drilling.
- Production Engineering: Study the principles involved in the production and field processing of oil and gas. Learn to design efficient and cost-effective procedures for lifting oil and gas from underground reservoirs.
