See the full list of study programmes on our Norwegian pages.
Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering
The Master's Programme in Petroleum Engineering qualifies you for an international career in the oil and gas industry. This is the study programme for you who is good in science and who has an interest in the development and use of technology. Taught in English.
Petroleum Technology – doctoral programme
The PhD programme in petroleum technology has specializations in reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, natural gas engineering and petroleum geoscience engineering.
Research at the department
The main research areas at the Department of Energy and Petroleum Engineering are energy, gas and hydrates, drilling, well construction and production.
Drilling and well engineering
Drilling and well engineering is an important field of engineering concerned with the activities related to drilling, well construction, well logging and testing, production and economics within the oil industry.
Energy Systems Engineering
Energy transition towards clean, sustainable, and affordable energy solutions is on top of the global, national, and local agenda.
Applied AI and machine learning
Due to an increase in the amount of data available through technological advancements, AI and machine learning approaches can be employed to convert the data into contextual information, leading to a step change in the field of energy and petroleum engineering.
Data-driven mathematical modelling
Mathematical models enable a scientific understanding of natural phenomena around us, and the study and optimization of processes in society and industry. We fuse classical physics-based modelling and new machine learning methods for the identification and training of entirely new models based on few observations and sparse data.
