About the program
The program offers in-demand knowledge on the technology of gas transportation and gas equipment development.In this program, students dive deep into preparation, transportation, and processing of natural and associated petroleum gas, the construction of gas transmission networks and compressor stations, the creation of digital twins of fuel and energy industry facilities, design and operation features of key technological equipment (compressors, turboexpanders, heat exchange equipment, etc.), and decarbonization technologies (reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, including natural and associated petroleum gas). Additionally, the program’s curriculum includes such in-demand, relevant courses as AI and programming fundamentals, as well as applied use of AI and machine learning.
The program offers the following choice of specializations:
Technological Systems for Preparation and Transportation of Natural and Associated Petroleum Gas – for future specialists at oil and gas companies who will be operating systems in gas preparation, transportation, and processing;
Compressor and Expansion Equipment for Fuel and Energy Complexes – for future designers of compressor and expansion equipment in fuel and energy complexes.
