Department of petroleum and gas at BUITEMS

Department of Petroleum & Gas Engineering


Introduction

Balochistan is rich in natural resources like Oil, Gas and Minerals. The largest
reserves of gas exist in the area of Sui of this Province, which meets one-third of the country’s
energy requirements. Therefore keeping in view this essential need a department of Petroleum
and Gas was initiated in the fall of 2004 as the first and pioneering department in the then newly
established Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences (later renamed as the Faculty of
Engineering since September 2007.




SCOPE




o Pakistan’s current daily oil & gas production have reached 70,000
barrels of oil and 4 Billion cubic feet of gas repectively.
o Presently, 42 companies are working in Pakistan which have been
awarded 118 exploration licenses and 127 leases.
o Seventeen new blocks have been opened which would support the
ongoing exploration activities in the country and open major
opportunities for the prospective investors in diversified fields.
o Department of Petroleum and Gas Engineering program imparts to its
students modern scientific and computer skills for exploration,
development and exploitation of the oil and gas reserves and to
apprise them of the technological advances in Drilling, Production and
Reservoir Engineering as well as Safety with special reference to
Environments.
o Petroleum engineers produced by the department will be absorbed in
exploration & production, plus service and marketing activities of
national and multinational Companies of the world.

VISION


o BUITEMSshould be one of the best institution in the country to produce
quality petroleum engineers for the petroleum industry.
o To make the department a Centre of Excellence in education and
research on petroleum including reservoir, production and drilling
techniques for oil and gas fields.
o To solve the industry's technical and logical issues by using advanced
software and calculations.
o To become a major key source of ideas and expertise for the long term
competitiveness of the entire petroleum industry of Pakistan.

MISSION


The Department of Petroleum & Gas Engineering is committed to use
modern institutional technology to enhance learning and continue a
program of excellence in research to provide students with the necessary
skills to achieve success in their future professional careers not only in
Pakistan but also in the rest of the world.

OBJECTIVES


o To enable graduates to understand the importance of professional
responsibility and high ethical standards.
o To Produce engineers to assume positions of technical leadership in
the industry making use of their specialized knowledge of petroleum
engineering.
o To promote effective oral and written technical communication skills to
meet the challenges of the future petroleum engineering profession.
o To provide students with an education back ground in the
fundamentals, enabling them to succeed in graduate studies and
research in petroleum engineering.

OUTCOME OF THE DEPARTMENT


The Department of Petroleum & Gas Engineering intends to produce 40-50 Petroleum
Engineers with BS degree in Petroleum & Gas Engineering each year.
The Department intends to produce 10-20 MS degree holders and 1-5 Ph.D degree
holders in Petroleum and Gas Engineering.
The Department has already produced up to 100 Petroleum Engineers with BS
degrees from three (3) Batches.
o The courses offered by the Department of Petroleum & Gas
Engineering are intended to result in:
o Minimization of unemployment.
o Improvement of living standard of the people of Balochistan.
o Industrialization in the province.
o Improvement of technical and scientific approach for production of Oil &
Gas.
o Effective utilization of oil & gas resources of the province.
