GENERAL INFORMATION In the development of primary sources for energy, petroleum and natural gas occupy an important place. The engineering field concerned with exploration, drilling and production of oil and gas requires knowledge of basic sciences (physics, mathematics, chemistry and geology), and rapidly growing technology forces engineers to become acquainted with subjects such as clay chemistry, reaction kinetics, hydrocarbon gas and liquid-liquid equilibria and computer sciences. In the Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department, undergraduate education is aimed at equipping the students with the knowledge of basic sciences as well as with the tools of rapidly growing technology.
