Created in collaboration with seasoned industry experts, this Master's program in Mature Field Management serves as a cornerstone for today's petroleum sector.
Most global hydrocarbon production originates from established assets—commonly termed 'mature fields'—which form the backbone of worldwide energy supply.
Effective stewardship of these resources plays a pivotal role in sustaining global energy needs, growing increasingly vital as major oilfields continue to age. The majority of careers in exploration and production will focus on this domain, demanding a skilled workforce to meet industry needs for generations.
To fulfill this critical requirement, Heriot-Watt's Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering has developed a comprehensive Master's curriculum. The program's contemporary scope extends beyond conventional offerings, incorporating geoscience, reservoir engineering, well technology, surface operations, and their integration through Integrated Asset Management (IAM).
