This module addresses geological, safety, environmental and commercial factors which must be considered in bringing a petroleum discovery to commercial production. Techniques and issues for appraising, developing and producing hydrocarbons will be explored. You will gain awareness of responsibilities for safety towards yourself, colleagues and others affected by work activities; become aware of potential problems in any environment and develop strategies for prevention or remediation.

This module examines the chemistry of oil and gas and examines the consequences of this chemistry for its utilisation and refining. It will also examine issues around environmental and economic sustainability. Crude oil contains petroleum with different combinations of molecules depending on the source conditions. Petroleum is a mixture of different hydrocarbons: The unsaturated branched or linear alkanes (also known as paraffins which contain only hydrogen and carbon). The cycloalkanes (also known as napthenes). The napthenes are classed as a saturated form of hydrocarbon that display almost identical properties to paraffins but have a much higher point of combustion. The unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbons which contain benzene rings, with atoms of hydrogen attached to them and which tend to produce far more emissions when combusted. The composition directly affects the colouration and viscosity of the petroleum and influences the final product. The module will examine refining techniques, where the crude petroleum is separated, converted and treated to produce useful products. This will be demonstrated in the laboratory and in an industrial setting.

The aim of this module is to provide you a well-balanced fully aware sustainability management and development practitioners who are able to analyse and assess the essence of sustainability issues and to formulate the required strategy to implement practical sustainable development solutions in business and society. Sustainable engineering& nbsp;concerns the ability of delivering the product/services in an economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable way. This requires engineers to make optimum use of energy and materials, to mitigate any associated environmental, social and economic impacts, and to fully embrace concepts such as life cycle analysis, value for money, socially responsible, design for manufacturing and assembling within the design process. Industry requires a practical framework to meet the challenge of achieving sustainable development. This module aims to provide that framework by: providing an overview of methodology, technology and management tools that could be used to narrow the & lsquo;sustainable gap& rsquo;. developing an overall awareness of the real causes of environmental& nbsp;degradation and social responsibility. developing the awareness of the relevant scientific and engineering principles fundamental to the understanding of the problem and solution to this environmental degradation and social responsibility.

This degree is a multidisciplinary award, drawing resources from across the University and bringing in expertise from the sciences, engineering, technology and law.

You will receive tuition from both academics and a range of experienced industrial practitioners.

We are currently developing the Springfield Campus which will be Europe’s largest construction centre of excellence. Join us as the exciting development takes shape and from 2019/20 students in the School of Architecture and the Built environment will be taught from the new campus.

Find out more about Springfield Campus.

You will gain understanding of both your specialist subject area, as well as the wider organisational and industry framework. The specialist skills gained will help you operate in the Oil and Gas industry, solving complex problems and making decisions. You will be able to conduct research, either individually or collaboratively, being able to recognise and address ethical dilemmas and corporate social responsibility issues.
