Profile
The aim of the course is to form highly qualified professionals that can operate in the industry and service field of extractive activities for solid and fluid natural resources. The involved industrial sectors are characterized by continuous technological evolution and a strong drive for innovation. Graduates will have a solid preparation on both the scientific and technical aspects of reservoirs, their exploration, exploitation and processing of extracted materials. Basic knowledge is aimed at training technicians capable of dealing with complex problems for which there are no standard solutions, of understanding the principles and potential of innovative methods and of coming up with original solutions. These aspects are accompanied by the need for specific competences and application capacities, understanding of the dynamics of the related industries, ability to evaluate the economic aspects and environmental impact of extractive activities. The courses are therefore organized in a way that combines the theoretical, modeling and methodological aspects with the application aspects and problem solving. To ensure the continuous updating of knowledge, most of the courses rely on the contribution of highly qualified technicians from the industry.The didactic path foresees a first year in which, before facing the engineering aspects of the different disciplines, all fundamental scientific knowledge is thoroughly addressed. To this end, the following aspects are included during the first year: chemical and physical properties of fluids and rocks, petrophysical properties of hydrocarbon-bearing formations, fundamental notions of applied geology, propagation of acoustic waves through porous media and mechanical behavior of rocks, risk analysis theory, oil chemistry and raw material engineering. Then skills for quantitative analysis along with re-processing of information and data are acquired, with the aim of characterizing the systems studied. These skills are also enhanced via calculation exercises aimed at autonomously facing application problems.The second year has been specifically structured for technical-engineering training. In other words, the program addresses: methods of characterization and definition of development strategies of reservoirs, based on an interdisciplinary approach aimed at developing autonomy and critical sense through design activities that make use of technologies together with industrial data. An integral part of the training lies on the final dissertation as well as traineeships in company (optional) which allow the study and development of a real problem with an innovative approach while following industry standards.
