General Information

The Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering is nationally ranked as one of the best. Petroleum is synonymous with energy. A large fraction of the energy used in this country originates from oil or natural gas. Although the overall percentage provided by petroleum is expected to drop, the total amount provided by petroleum sources will increase. The world energy transition is occurring, and the petroleum industry will be required to meet the international demands for economical sources of fuels. Energy engineers with enhanced oil recovery, unconventional natural gas and frontier producing areas will provide a greater fraction of this production. The need for complex technology required to produce such difficult resources will require a continued demand for qualified petroleum and geological engineers.

Petroleum and geological engineering are many-faceted disciplines that are directed toward exploiting natural resources contained in a geological habitat. Our newest degree for GeoEnergy Engineers prepares individuals how to characterize, model, and monitor the ground below to design and oversee construction of wells and facilities for subsurface storage, production, and injection. Graduates from our programs can work in several different areas and at different levels of technical involvement. They may work on specific production-related problems in a technical area or they may work on broad energy solutions within their organizations. Between these extremes is the complete spectrum of job possibilities.

Petroleum and GeoEnergy Engineers are required to utilize complex technologies. Exploration and production are not simple, independent processes. Rather, projects are complex and the extreme financial and physical risks must be integrated into the engineering design of specific exploration and production projects to make them succeed. Engineers who analyze and design systems and facilities for current producing systems must be well prepared. The Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering is prepared to produce such engineers.

Undergraduate Study

GeoEnergy Engineering, Bachelor of Science

The GeoEnergy Engineering curriculum is structured to provide a strong foundation in engineering, and to provide specialized education in energy resources, energy resource economics, carbon capture, utilization, applied geomechanics, geothermal energy, hydrogen energy utilization, energy storage, well logs and remote sensing, production and injection systems, drilling and well construction, fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media, porous media characterization. This curriculum will directly benefit students that graduate to work in the energy industry, with diversified knowledge, and abilities to work in a broader scope of energy generation, storage, and transport.

Petroleum Engineering, Bachelor of Science

The objectives of the Petroleum Engineering, Bachelor of Science are that Alumni will:

  • Our alumni will have successful careers as engineers in oil and gas, government, or related industries by applying engineering judgement that is established on fundamentals and continual growth in their competencies.
  • Our alumni will serve society by involvement in professional activities that positively impact health, safety, and environment through ethical behavior and contemporary knowledge

Graduates receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering are professionally prepared for positions in the fields of drilling, production, well completion, reservoir management and evaluation. They may work in industry or government. They are well prepared to continue their education in professional or graduate studies. Students who choose to specialize in advanced developments or research may pursue graduate studies leading to the master's or doctor’s degree.

Petroleum Engineering Bachelor of Science/Master of Science

The accelerated Bachelor of Science/Master of Science program allows undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue a graduate education in petroleum engineering while completing their undergraduate degree. Having already received core instruction through OU's undergraduate studies, the introductory petroleum engineering course requirements that are required of graduate students are not necessary, which allows more time to explore course electives in complimentary disciplines such as geology, geophysics, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and chemical engineering, making students more versatile in their discipline and increasing their marketability.

Petroleum Engineering Bachelor of Science/Master of Business Administration

The accelerated Petroleum Engineering, Bachelor of Science/Master of Business Administration program is designed for the petroleum engineering student with an interest in business. The synergy of this track is strengthened by incorporating the Energy specialization of the MBA program into the accelerated curriculum. Students graduating with this option will have a firm foundation in engineering fundamentals along with knowledge of business and energy principles.

Laptop Requirement

Students with a major in Petroleum Engineering are expected to have a laptop computer. The laptop technologies are used to enhance the learning experience. Students should consult with faculty advisors and the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy Dean’s office for additional information.

Graduate Study

Areas of Specialization

The graduate program offers specialized training in drilling, well completion and stimulation, rock mechanics, production engineering, petrophysics, formation damage and control, miscible, immiscible and microbial enhanced oil recovery, reservoir engineering, natural gas engineering, coal bed methane, geological engineering, oil field management and several other allied areas.

Master of Science Degree

Students may pursue a thesis or non-thesis option in Petroleum Engineering, Geological Engineering or Natural Gas Engineering and Management..

Doctoral Programs

Candidates for the Doctor of Philosophy in Petroleum Engineering or Geological Engineering shall satisfy all requirements for the Ph.D. degree in engineering. The degree requires 90 post-baccalaureate credit hours of coursework including the dissertation. Each candidate must meet the general requirements as specified in the bulletin of the Graduate College, as well as all requirements as specified in the general requirements for the master’s degree in Petroleum and Geological Engineering, including the satisfactory passage of the Qualifying and General Examinations.

A student should normally expect to spend the equivalent of three full academic years beyond the master’s degree in study for the doctorate. As a general rule, either their bachelor’s degree or master’s degree (or both) will be in PE or GE. All such hours may, on recommendation of the student’s Advisory Conference, be applied to their doctoral program. Exceptional applicants who have bachelor and master degrees in other engineering and science fields may be admitted to the MPGE Ph.D. program. Course work deficiencies may be necessary (such as geology), depending upon the applicant’s background. Coursework deficiencies will be determined by the Graduate Liaison and will not be counted as part of the student’s Ph.D. program.

The coursework applied toward the Ph.D. degree must include a minor consisting of a minimum of 12 hours (out of 90 credit hours) of applied mathematics or other natural sciences. Courses of study are individually structured to capitalize upon each student’s background and to meet their specific needs and research interests. Every candidate for the Ph.D. degree in petroleum and geological engineering must satisfactorily complete the Qualifying and General Examinations.
