This two-year diploma trains students in the upstream petroleum industry, covering the search for underground and underwater oil and gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and the drilling and operation of wells that recover crude oil and natural gas. Coursework includes geophysical and geological principles of subsurface resource exploration, drilling methods, well design, field operations management, computer simulation for economic analysis and reserve determination, and environmental and safety regulations. Students complete a capstone project with an industry mentor in the final semester. The program is nationally accredited by Technology Accreditation Canada (TAC) at the technologist level, and graduates are eligible for ASET membership. Delivery is in person at Main Campus. Graduates receive a SAIT Petroleum Engineering Technology diploma and are prepared for roles as petroleum engineering technologists and other positions in the oil and gas industry.
