Program Overview

The S1 semesters for the master’s degree in Oil and Gas Engineering is common for three options: Reservoir Engineering, Hydrocarbon Production and Drilling of Oil and Gas wells 

In S2, the candidate will have the choice between a reservoir route and a hydrocarbon production route with 80% of common modules

In S3 both options also have almost 50% common modules 

In S4, the tank engineering specialist carries out work on a problem concerning either:

 • The implementation of a development plan for a given reservoir 

• Choose a recovery mode for optimal operation.

 • Characterize and model a reservoir

 • Optimize an ongoing development plan. 

• Develop means to support decision-making G – Indicators for project monitoring • Note on the workshop report 

• Evaluation of the promoter

 • Assessment of the coach at the training site 

• Defending the brief publicly before a jury

Semestre4

Internship in a company, followed by a brief and a defence.

Curriculum Highlights

Core Courses

The changing economic and geopolitical context, but also the growth of energy consumption worldwide has led to a steady increase in the price of hydrocarbons. Today already and even more tomorrow the oil industry at a global level will have to call on many technological resources in the field of exploration of non-conventional resources, in the field of reservoir engineering (optimization of these resources) and in production (optimisation of production and valorization of fluids). The increase in the price of a barrel of crude oil and the very large projects planned in this upstream industrial sector are increasing the recruitment needs of oil companies and service companies.

The objective is to provide excellent training in Hydrocarbon Production and Reservoir Engineering by setting up a Master at the same time academic and professional. Indeed, this Master Petroleum Engineering must provide training covering both practical and theoretical aspects. Graduates must be operational and have:

 • Acquired the fundamental and theoretical bases on the different stages of the exploitation of oil and gas fields and on the optimal choice of operating variants. 

• Master the methods and basic techniques and tools for monitoring well operation and commissioning. As it allows students to access the preparation of a Master in Petroleum Engineering option Production or Tank Engineering.

 • Initiate the implementation and participate in the processing and interpretation of all data necessary for the characterization of the deposits and the monitoring of their behaviour throughout their exploitation, 

To carry out a critical examination of the data, identify and evaluate uncertainties, 

• Calculate the quantities of hydrocarbons in place, identify the drainage mechanisms of a deposit, propose an enhanced recovery process and evaluate associated reserves

•Using a simulation model to develop development and exploitation scenarios along with their production profiles, knowing how to assess the initial production capacity of a deposit, calculate the number and type of wells to be drilled, Recommend the appropriate time to initiate an assisted recovery process and well activation, 

• Recommend a program to monitor and optimize the performance of a deposit.
