Brief Description about The College of Petroleum and Gas Engineering:
The College of Petroleum and Gas Engineering was established in 2013-2014 with its two departments of Petroleum and Gas Engineering and Chemical Engineering and Oil Refining in Basra Governorate due to the great oil revolution in this generous governorate and its being the center of the southern governorates that have recently been distinguished by massive oil extractions, which has led to attracting students from these governorates. The curricula of this college were also chosen on the basis of serving the purpose of the establishment, which is considered entirely directed towards extractive engineering and transformational engineering. This college seeks to prepare competent engineers in petroleum engineering (extractive engineering) and chemical engineering (transformational engineering) in order to bear the burdens of the difficult transitional period that our beloved country is going through and to prepare distinguished cadres with high quality education and scientific research to advance national industries, especially extractive and transformational oil industries, in order to serve society according to the latest contemporary technical developments so that they can raise the level of the national product with efficiency, high quality and low costs in order to compete with what is currently imported from abroad. A third department was created during the academic year 2017-2018 (Department of Polymers and Petrochemical Industries)
The College of Oil and Gas Engineering aims to enable students to access and learn about the latest contemporary technologies for extraction and conversion processes into various products based on petroleum derivatives via the Internet and field experience, in addition to practicing agreements with international universities for training for specific periods. It seeks to provide direct guidance for engineering projects in advanced stages that serve the oil fields in both its extraction and conversion aspects and to try to involve a discussion member from the industry on which the project was built.
The college works to develop students' capabilities in scientific, artistic, sports and creative fields and to instill confidence between the student and the professor by activating educational guidance activities and holding continuous meetings with students in this regard, in addition to making frequent visits to students residing in the internal departments to address their problems.
