The Master’s program in Oil and Gas Engineering is the complement in the different areas of training offered by the School of Petroleum Engineering, contributing to the generation of knowledge, developing a program that will allow future master’s graduates to provide solutions to the problems that arise daily in the hydrocarbon industry, providing them with skills and tools to improve and make more efficient each of the different field operations, improving the profitability of the projects, allowing a greater social and economic impact in the regions where the industry is concentrated.

The Master’s program in Oil and Gas Engineering is offered with five emphases to deepen:

  1. Gas and Process Engineering.

  2. Reservoir Engineering.

  3. Hydrocarbon Production Engineering.

  4. Management and Economics of Hydrocarbons.

  5. Drilling Engineering and Well Completion

It offers the possibility for the student to choose one of the areas of specialization covering the needs of the country related to: mature fields, offshore drilling, unconventional reservoirs, petrophysics and operational processes in field production.
