Doctor of Philosophy in Civil and Environmental Engineering - Petroleum Engineering

University of Alberta

For over 50 years, the University of Alberta has offered the only accredited BSc Petroleum Engineering degree program in Canada. Petroleum engineers are involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas fields.Graduates from our program are involved in the exploration and development of subsurface energy resources, including oil and gas extraction, carbon and hydrogen storage, underground fluid disposal, and geothermal energy. They apply geology, physics, chemistry, and engineering sciences principles to designprocesses involving fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, geomechanics, and chemistry in subsurface formations. We are proud to offer a program that provides students with a solid foundation in petroleum engineering and prepares them for successful careers in the energy sector.
