  • Mission

    The Mission of the B Tech in Petroleum Engineering program at DIT University is:

    • To educate the Engineers and prepare leaders for the worldwide petroleum industry, and performs meaningful research that advances oil and gas recovery.
    • To prepare the Engineers for serving the industry through their technical knowledge, ethical commitment and participation in professional societies.

  • Vision

     

    • To be a world-class provider of education, research in the field of oil and gas sectors and play a leadership role in providing new technologies in order to increase the petroleum reserves of the country.

  • Centre of Excellence

    • Anton PAAR MCR-72 Rheometer
    • Goniometer (Contact Angle Measurement)

  • The unique feature of the course is that the theory classes are supplemented by a compulsory practical training in the oil fields in the summer of every year. Thus the products coming out from the department are tailor-made to suit the requirement of the industry. The recent trends towards use of computers have also made an impact towards simulation study in various oil and gas operations.

    The department has well qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty members and technical personnel. The department has state-of-the-art laboratories and modern infrastructure.

    The DIT Student Chapter of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) has been actively involved in organizing a number of activities in the department For more details please visit http://www.ditspe.com/
