INTRODUCTION
Introduction
A key source of energy is oil and natural gas. Efficient recovery of these resources requires Petroleum Engineers with a sound knowledge of fundamentals and latest technological developments relevant to this field. Upstream petroleum engineers are always in demand. Petroleum Engineering involves the production of oil and gas (hydrocarbons) from sub surface reservoirs which requires engineering to bring it to the surface, estimate its value and extract it, in other words, finding oil and gas, drilling and producing it. The mission of the Petroleum Engineering education is to produce graduates who can not only satisfy the current needs of the country’s petroleum industry, but are also able to develop technologies indigenously. Preparing effective and efficient professionals through research and to develop the methods to utilize all the available natural resources in order to fulfill the energy needs of Pakistan in coming years. This will contribute in socio- economic development of Pakistan and the region.
OVERVIEW

- Excellent teaching staff, many with extensive industrial experience and strong links with national and international institutes.
Career Opportunities
Petroleum Engineer As a qualified petroleum engineer you will be well rewarded financially in one of the highest paid engineering jobs, enjoy extensive travel opportunities and, as one of the most technically-challenging jobs, benefit from being part of a pioneering worldwide community of professionals.
Vision
To educate and equip the students with tools for exploitation of hydrocarbon resources in the most viable and economical manner by using fundamental principles as well as state-of-the-art technology.
Mission
The mission is to produce qualified and well-versed Petroleum Engineers equipped with fundamental sciences, able to find viable solutions, and skills to enter executive technical positions in industry, R&D institutes, public sector organizations and academia.
Objectives & Commitment
Program Objectives:
The program emphasizes on building strong base in Petroleum Engineering discipline and detailed understanding of core areas with practical knowledge that comprehends with use of professional software and laboratory practices. The program is competent to enhance capabilities for higher education and to fulfill the requirements of the petroleum industry.The main objectives are to develop:
- To equip the graduates with job oriented knowledge, skills and perception through sound fundamentals and petroleum engineering practices.
- Develop an understanding and comprehension of regional energy resources and their use.
- Instill in the graduates’ high ethical standards and practices.
- Develop critical thinking in the graduates so that they can identify and solve new problems.
- Develop effective communication skills and ability to work in teams.
Emerging Topics in Petroleum & Gas Engineering :
Buildings:
The current buildings and facilities were developed with the financial assistance (Rs. 67.33 million) of Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) government of Pakistan. The department has well furnished building constructed by spending Rs. 12 million. It caters fully the requirements of students, faculty and administration.
Learning Outcomes of the Program:
- The department expects undergraduate majors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes. These learning outcomes are used in evaluating students and the department undergraduate program.
