This Masters in Drilling and Well Engineering focuses on sound well construction. It builds professional capability in designing wells, drilling them and managing field operations, for recent graduates and experienced practitioners alike.
Teaching is delivered by academics with substantial industry experience. Learners use modern drilling simulators and take part in industrial visits that connect theory to field operations.
Modules cover subsurface understanding, well systems, surface facilities, and innovation with sustainability in mind. The course is aimed at people working in oil and gas, energy, and engineering services. Students also reflect on the environmental and commercial responsibilities that come with drilling operations, and they learn to make decisions that balance safety, cost and performance. Learners also gain insight into how well projects are planned, reviewed and handed over between teams.
