The "Petroleum Engineering" study program is a complex study program that includes a number of disciplines such as geology, chemistry, physics, mechanics, mechanical engineering, material engineering, IT technology, also including good language skills (primary English). The aim of the study is to educate a qualified expert in the field of reservoir and exploitation engineering, respectively an expert for working on a drilling rig (for drilling of deep wells with heavy drilling rigs or workover drilling rigs, eventually for rigs for liquidation or re-liquidation wells). Thanks to complex knowledge of geology, technics and technology exploitation and storage of hydrocarbons, students will be able to solve operational problems of oil engineering. In the area of hydrocarbon exploitation and underground gas storage, these include the issues of daily production of wells, the intensification of exploitation and the planning and execution of workover jobs, as well as the liquidation of wells. In the field of deep drilling, it is mainly about practical knowledge of operating individual drilling rig technologies (mud engineering, drilling rig machinery, drilling and casing strings, etc.).

The manner and conditions of submitting the application for the follow-up Master study In order to apply for admission to a follow-up Master’s degree programme, the applicant must meet, by the prescribed deadline, the following requirements applicable to programmes taught in English:  Submit an electronic application form at <https://prihlaska.vsb.cz/uchazec/studium/6>.  Enter the arithmetic mean (rounded to 2 decimal places) of the results from the first to the last but one semester of the previous university (usually Bachelor) study, in the case of foreigners, including a possible conversion to the Czech grading If the candidate has already acquired a university degree and the diploma supplement, he/she attach both of these documents.  The condition for submitting an application for the follow-up Master study of the Mining of Mineral Resources is the previous study of subjects focused on: the problems of mining of mineral resources; geology; problems of rock or soil mechanics; problems of safety. Similarity of the degree programme of study will be assessed by the degree programme guarantor.  Pay an administrative fee of CZK 600 for the admission procedure. An applicant whose application has satisfied the requirements for submission must, by the specified deadline, also provide the following documents applicable to programmes taught in English:  diploma of higher education (usually Bachelor’s degree),  diploma supplement  document confirming the fact the candidate completed a higher education programme if s/he obtained the higher education degree abroad (this does not apply to equivalent documents, e.g. from Slovakia). The procedure to acknowledge completed education obtained abroad is described in the document “Assessment of Applicants’ Foreign Education within the Admission Procedure at VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava” <https://dokumenty.vsb.cz/docs/files/en/9f06014d-db84-46c0-a5a5-4432e0b442e6>. If the assessment of previous education will take place within the admission procedure, it is necessary to deliver the necessary documents (see <https://www.vsb.cz/en/university/university-services/recognition-of-foreign-education/>) in paper form (address: VŠB-TUO, study department FMG, 17. listopadu 2172/15, 708 33 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic);  language certificate. In cases worthy of special consideration, the Dean may waive this examination. The applicant must pass entrance exam. You will take the entrance examination electronically through the information system. You will receive detailed instructions for the entrance examination through the information system.

Study

The Master's study program is based on a strong geological foundation with an overlap to hydrocarbon exploitation technology and deep drilling. The level of knowledge at the end of this study program is a senior middle engineer in the position of reservoir engineer, respectively technician in the positions of the drillmaster, shiftmaster and above in drilling operations. The graduate will be able to plan, actively prepare and independently lead projects given by the mining and drilling industry.
