Welcome to the Petroleum Engineering program at The Petroleum Institute. Petroleum Engineering is a branch of the engineering profession covering reservoir, drilling and production aspects of the exploration, development and operation of hydrocarbon resources.
The Petroleum Engineering Program at the PI has a modern curriculum that emphasizes not only engineering fundamentals but also, and most importantly, the application of technical and business decision-making tools to assist in minimizing risk and maximizing technical and economic robustness of designs and decisions. The curriculum’s outcomes are mapped to our client companies’ Competency Assurance Management System, insuring that our graduates will be prepared with the necessary technical, general and behavioral competencies to rapidly advance to positions of responsibility.
Our client companies include our parent, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), its exploration and production operating companies (ADCO, ADMA, ZADCO) and our international shareholder supporters (BP, JODCO, Shell, Total). In addition to providing focus to our curriculum, the close working relationship we enjoy with our clients is instrumental in our planning for targeted research programs that will meet both our sponsors’ needs for new technology and the PI’s needs to be engaged in cutting-edge technology development to continue growing our scholarly stature.
It is a very exciting time to be at The Petroleum Institute as it grows into a world-class engineering college and prepares new generations of youth to steward this country’s vast natural resources!
We are seeking additional faculty to join us (see our most recent announcement). Those who qualify will enjoy a competitive compensation package, exemption from most taxes, an exciting and challenging work environment, and wonderful travel and recreation opportunities, all while enjoying a lifestyle that is as exotic as it gets without being a hardship!!
