ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL IN PETROLEUM ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES

Course Description

Being one of the most important necessities of nowadays to educate students so that they become aware of environmental risks and related outcomes, Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering program’s environment-related course concentrates on the environmental risks and hazards at exploration and production sites. Due to vast amount of usage of chemicals, some of which are carcinogen in nature, students will learn and understand how to carry, how to store, how to use and how to dispose of such chemicals. EU Norms will be given to the students for better understanding of these preventive actions. From environmental perspective, every change created for the environment by different activities have to be correctly restored at the end of the operations. So, reclamation studies for such activities will also be diswcussed.
