Welcome to the Department of Petroleum and Gas Engineering

Department Head

Vision

Achieving highest academic ranking at National level while maintaining self-sustainability of the Institute.

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 energy and public sector industry and organizations, R & D Institutes, and academia.

Introduction

A key source of energy is oil and natural gas. The efficient recovery of these resources requires Petroleum Engineers with a sound knowledge of fundamentals and the 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 subsurface 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 to the socio-economic development of Pakistan and the region.

I welcome you to the Department of Petroleum Engineering
that offers BSc Degrees in Petroleum Engineering and MSc in Petroleum Engineering.

The department has ample number of qualified
faculty members trained to deliver knowledge
skilfully by teaching a variety of Petroleum
engineering subjects in range and depth. In
addition to having relevant higher qualification in the area, our faculty have acquired top skills and industrial experience both locally, and from abroad.

Program Objectives

The program emphasizes building a strong base in Petroleum Engineering discipline and a detailed understanding of core areas with practical knowledge that comprehended with the 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. It is also oriented towards the Outcome-Based Education (OBE). The main objectives are to develop:
i) To develop Petroleum engineers with comprehensive engineering and scientific knowledge and technical skills to solve complex engineering problems.
ii) To develop critical thinking in graduates so that they can identify, analyze, solve, and design new problems using modern tools and simulation techniques.
iii) To develop a sense of responsibility, effective communication skills, and the ability to work independently as well in a team.
iv) To develop ethical values, management qualities, and innovative ideas that can promote sustainable development among graduates to continue life-long learning to meet future challenges.
