Bachelor of Technology (Honours) Petroleum Geoscience

1.0 Introduction
Geoscience has always been the centre of all modern natural resource industries, not only in their exploration phase, but also in their development and production phase. This programme has been designed to provide students with a strong understanding of geology and geophysics that relate to petroleum discovery, exploration and production. The Bachelor of Technology (Honours) in Petroleum Geoscience degree at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS emphasises on quantitative geosciences, thus requires strong fundamentals in mathematics and physics, followed by a thorough coverage of basic geology courses such as Physical Geology, Minerology and Petrology, Structural Geology, Stratigraphy and Palaeontology, and Geological Field Mapping. At higher levels, students are exposed to more petroleum geoscience related courses such as Clastic and Carbonate Sedimentology, Geochemistry, Seismic Acquisition and Processing, Seismic Interpretation, Formation Evaluation, and Seismic Imaging. At the final year, students have the opportunity to major in one of these two selected areas of interest: Basin and Reservoir Studies Exploration Geophysics
Students gain the ability to communicate with a diverse array of people and will have an understanding of the geological and technological complexity of the petroleum systems with which they are working. Minor in Management as an option is made available to students who are interested to enhance their knowledge in management and business, at their discretion.
