Program Goals
The mission of the Petroleum Engineering
program at the Petroleum Institute is to
become a leading international center of
excellence in education, training, research
and professional service dedicated to serving
the competence, training and technology
development needs of the petroleum
industry in general, and ADNOC and other
allied sponsors in particular. Our mission is
to provide a platform for life-long learning
while also emphasizing the importance of an
interdisciplinary approach, ethical conduct,
and health, safety & environmental issues.
The Petroleum Engineering program at the
PI has a modern curriculum that emphasizes
not only petroleum engineering fundamentals
but also the business processes applied to
reach optimal engineering solutions for field
development and operations. With access
to the local operating company facilities,
our well-equipped state-of-the-art modern
laboratory and computer facilities, we are
uniquely positioned to offer a curriculum that
is well balanced and hands-on. We are also
accredited to offer IWCF certification and
training for drilling engineers. Course content,
projects and other assignments are selected
to help prepare graduates to launch careers
within ADNOC and other allied sponsors as
willing and eager contributors, equipped with
knowledge and skills of basic engineering
and science, fundamental understandings
of reservoir, well, production and surface
facilities.
