Overview

Master of Petroleum Engineering

Currently, this course is not offered. 

 

Master of Petroleum Engineering is designed for graduates of a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or equivalent science and mathematics degrees. 

It’s also open to petro-technical professionals seeking to advance their technical careers with formal qualifications.

The petroleum engineering degrees are developed and taught by industry-trained academics through the Australian School of Petroleum and Energy Resources. 

This is Australia and Southeast Asia's academic centre for petroleum research and education and the only school in Australia.

In this program at the University of Adelaide, you will:

  • Learn all about well testing and drilling engineering.
  • Explore unconventional resources and recovery.
  • Access our Tempest reservoir simulator.
  • Gain field experience at an Australian sedimentary basin.
  • Take integrated courses in business, economics and project management.
  • Complete a 6-unit research project thesis.

You’ll graduate ready to enter the upstream sector of the petroleum industry. 

You could drill exploratory wells for oil, gas and energy companies. 

You might search for underground or underwater oil fields with a government agency and move into a supervising or managerial role.
