Petroleum Engineering, University of Louisiana at Lafayette

MSc Petroleum Engineering

All specialty aspects of petroleum engineering that align with UL Lafayette Department of Petroleum Engineering faculty’s areas of expertise can serve as potential specialization areas for both course selection and thesis topics. Example areas of particular emphasis by the department include reservoir engineering, tertiary recovery, environmental engineering, computational fluid flow, drilling, process economics, and computer-visualization of petroleum systems. An advanced degree in engineering is designed to provide the engineer an increased knowledge of engineering theory, system design, and the development of research and developmental skills for use in the solving of complex engineering problems.
