The Diploma in Petroleum Geo-Sciences is a seven-semester program that equips students with the knowledge and skills required to explore, analyze, and manage petroleum resources. This program prepares learners for careers in the oil and gas industry by focusing on the scientific principles and technical methods used in the exploration and extraction of petroleum.
The curriculum includes key topics such as geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, sedimentology, petrophysics, drilling techniques, and data interpretation. Students gain hands-on experience using modern industry tools and technologies to conduct geological and geophysical surveys. The program emphasizes sustainable practices and environmental management in petroleum exploration.
A three-month industrial attachment provides learners with practical exposure to the oil and gas sector, allowing them to apply their skills in real-world settings. The department also encourages professional development through its Petroleum Geo-Sciences Club, offering mentorship, networking opportunities, and collaborative projects.
