Key Summary
About : The Master of Science in Petrophysics is designed for students interested in the physical and chemical properties of rocks and their fluid interactions. This program covers topics such as reservoir characterization, fluid flow, and geophysical methods essential for energy and mineral exploration. Courses are taught by industry experts, providing students with hands-on experience in relevant techniques and tools.
Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths, including roles as exploration geologists, petrophysical analysts, and reservoir engineers. Opportunities also exist in research and development, consulting, and positions within oil, gas, and mining industries.
Petrophysics is the study of physical and chemical properties of reservoirs (rocks and fluids). It is the first such program in North America, and addresses properties of subsurface rock formations and the fluid within those strata with particular application to the petroleum exploration and production industry. The course work including graduate research project is a multidisciplinary program with Geology, Physics, and Natural Gas Engineering courses.
