MS in Reservoir Engineering

The duties of a reservoir engineer revolve around fields of oil and gas extraction. He is in control over the development and implementation of design solutions, providing technical and operational support for the planning and development of the production area and facilities, for drilling wells and overhaul, and reporting regulatory authorities of the state. A specialist with MS reservoir engineering degree is also responsible for developing programs of research on the control and extraction methods.

No electronics, cybernetics, or other advanced fields of modern science and technology can fully be used without the industry of reservoir engineering. Therefore, young people that are going to train in this specialty will find themselves in the mining industry a wide field of activities aimed at wealth creation and solution of actual problems of science and technology.

Only specialists with a high level of training can manage all these complex machines and technology involved in tunneling work, producing, transporting, etc.

There are several sub-specializations in reservoir engineering. After graduation, our graduates can work at the mine and quarry, the mine for the extraction of ore and any salt on the extraction of marble and other decorative stones. They can also work in design, research and education profile of mining. The level of knowledge, breadth of vision and ability to think, acquired over years of training with us is so great that our graduates can be found on any post – even in governmental authorities.

 What is included in training program in MS reservoir engineering?

Specialist of mining or oil and gas reservoir engineering will be trained thoroughly to address the following professional tasks in accordance with professional activities.

Industrial and technological activities:

1. Understand the nature and essence of physical and technological processes of mining and / or oil and gas production.

2. Provide technical guidance for mining and blasting procedures, as well as work to ensure the health equipment of and technical systems, i.e. directly manage the tech-a young lion on the processes of production facilities.

3. Develop, coordinate and approve the technical, methodical and other documents regulating the implementation of the mountains, governmental reports, blasting reports, as well as work associated with the processing of solid minerals, to monitor compliance with the requirements of technical documentation for works, the existing rules, regulations and standards.

4. Develop and implement measures to improve the ecological security of mining or oil and gas production.

5. Practical guide to scientific and engineering activities, principles of an integrated sequence of geo-resource potential of given area.

6. Develop and implement activities to improve and raise the technical level of the oil and gas production or mining, innovation, competitiveness organization in the market environment.

7. Determine the spatial geometry of the objects, to produce geodetic surveying and measuring, to process and interpret their results.

8. Create, maintain equipment and systems to ensure efficient and secure implementation of technological processes in the production of work on the operational exploration, mining and processing in mineral deposits, as well as the construction of underground facilities.
