This two-year applied bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering is designed for students who already hold a technical diploma or degree and want to advance within the upstream petroleum sector, including gas process engineering and facilities design. The curriculum covers oil and gas exploration, drilling engineering, reservoir behaviour, production phases from wellbore to surface operations, facilities design and operation, upgrading and refining processes, and cost estimation and risk assessment tools. Students may select courses aligned with their career interests within the program. The program includes two work-integrated learning practicums totalling at least 750 hours of paid or unpaid work in the petroleum industry, concluding with a technical report. It is delivered in person at SAIT's Main Campus through the MacPhail School of Energy.
