About this program
Master’s Degree in Petroleum Engineering Reinforcement
The Master of Petroleum Engineering offers a classical two-year training in French and a one-year training in English for graduate students.
The one-year class "Petroleum Engineering Reinforcement" (~350 h lecture and 5-6 monts internship) will be particularly appreciated by foreign students who wish to reinforce their background in different fields of petroleum engineering.
This Master benefits from a particularly rich environment in geosciences and energy.
The Master is part of the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies for Energy and Environment (STEE). The STEE Faculty has been founded within the framework of the prestigious label I-SITE which granted the project Energy Environment Solutions (E2S).
The Master benefits also from the close environment of Carnot ISIFOR (Sustainable Engineering of Georesources) and a national pole for Geosciences and Innovation (Avenia). In addition, Pau hosts dozens of Petroleum companies, including Total, Terega, Modis, etc... Pau has therefore one of the highest concentration of petroleum engineers and scientists in France.

The Petroleum Engineering Reinforcement training program aims to complete the initial training of petroleum engineers with specific competences in geosciences, reservoir engineering and oil and gas production.
This personalized one-year training program is composed of courses selected from the three tracks of the 2 year Master program:
The geosciences track offers an integrated approach, which includes:
• Geological characterization (basin analysis, reservoir characterization, structural and sedimentological)
• Geophysical characterization (acquisition, processing and interpretation of seismic data)
• Well Analysis (well logging and seismic)
The reservoir track proposes:
• To evaluate the deposits discovered
• To optimize their development as well as their production
The production track aims to train specialized executives in the field of oil and gas production and in the evaluation of the associated processing needs.
