Course Description
Despite the growing research emphasis on renewable forms of energy generation and the anticipated energy gap between need and supply, the oil and gas industry is expected to remain an important source of energy provision for the foreseeable future; oil and gas is projected to meet 60% of the world's energy needs in 2030. In the current environmental conscious climate, the industry recognises the need for efficiency and its environmental responsibility, and this new postgraduate course focuses on the chemistry applicable to topics within these themes, addressing materials and energetic relevant to production and refining, and environmental impact and remediation.This programme aims to provide students with insights into the chemistry behind the selection of materials and processes implemented across the oil and gas sector. It builds on undergraduate chemistry experience and develops specialist skills applicable to industry associated with primary operations and with the service sector.
