Petroleum Engineering – Engineering & Petroleum Faculty

Petroleum Engineering

Petroleum Engineering Department

Overview:

Petroleum Engineering Department was established in the academic year 1996–1997 as a department of Petroleum and Chemical Engineering with the inception of Engineering and Petroleum Faculty. In the academic year 1999–2000, the department was divided into two separate departments, making Petroleum Engineering Department an independent entity.

The Petroleum Engineering specialization at Engineering and Petroleum Faculty – Hadhramout University is one of the rare specializations at the level of public and private universities in Yemen Republic.

The department is distinguished by its excellent laboratory capabilities, equipped with advanced labs containing numerous laboratory devices that students are trained to use for their scientific research and graduation projects.

The department also has a computer lab with specialized software, recognizing the importance of preparing students to use essential programs in their field of specialization to fully prepare graduates to participate in the modern technological era.

The duration of study in the department is five academic years, after which students are awarded a Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering upon successful completion of all requirements and examinations. The specialized study includes fundamental and applied courses in exploration, petroleum and natural gas reservoir engineering, production engineering, drilling engineering, petroleum and natural gas transportation and storage engineering, with a particular focus on Yemeni oil fields. The department also emphasizes the use of specialized scientific software and integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application through field visits and practical training in the department’s labs or various petroleum companies operating in Yemen.

Graduates of the department are qualified to work in all stages of oil exploration, drilling, and production operations, as well as planning and managing these operations, enabling them to lead and fully control all operations in the best possible manner.

In the academic year 2023–2024, the department introduced a Master’s program in Petroleum Engineering Sciences.
