Course Summary

Course overview:

This course broadens your technical skills in essential areas directly relevant to the oil and gas sector. It is ideal if you are intending to pursue a management career in the oil and gas industry, or if you are already working in the sector and would like to develop management skills and knowledge at master’s level.

Graduates from a range of technical, non-technical and commercial backgrounds are eligible to apply. The 60-credit dissertation module allows you to conduct a supervised research project developing original knowledge in a specific area of oil and gas management.

Teesside is a major European centre for the chemical and petroleum processing sector, making it an ideal location to study this field. The oil and gas industry is well represented with a range of internationally recognised companies operating in the ere are three routes you can select from to gain a postgraduate Master’s award:

  • MSc Oil and Gas Management – one year full time
  • MSc Oil and Gas Management – two years part time
  • MSc Oil and Gas Management (with Advanced Practice) – two years full time

The one-year programme is a great option if you want to gain a traditional MSc qualification. The two-year master’s degree with advanced practice enhances your qualification by adding a vocational or research based internship to the one-year master’s programme.A vocational internship is a great way to gain work experience and give your CV a competitive edge. A research internship provides you with the opportunity to develop your analytical, team-working, research and academic skills by working alongside a research team in an academic setting. We guarantee a research internship, but cannot guarantee a vocational internship. We will, however, provide you with practical support and advice on how to find and secure your own vocational internship position should you prefer this type of internship.

How you are assessed

Assessment varies from module to module. It may include in-course assignments, design exercises, technical reports, presentations or formal examinations. For your MSc project you prepare a dissertation.

Your Advanced Practice module is assessed by an individual written reflective report (3,000 words) together with a study or workplace log, where appropriate, and through a poster presentation.

Career opportunities

The course equips you with the relevant technical skills to pursue a career as technical manager in the oil and gas sector in a consultancy, contracting company or government organization.

Modules

You gain a detailed understanding of oil and gas economics as well as concepts related to asset and project assessment and valuation. The module explains the concept of international petroleum contracts of exploration and production companies such as concessions and production sharing contracts. It will also present comprehensive discussion on the corporate strategy, legal and taxation frameworks, fiscal terms, and production and cost profiles. You explore the methods used in identifying the risks of a petroleum project and the application of risk management in mitigating the identified risks, through a field development plan for an oil and gas field using the evaluation of an investment opportunity for the given field.
