Program Overview
1.1
Program presentation
The Institute of Petroleum Studies (IPS) is an international post graduate institution established through collaboration between IFP School (France) and the University of Port Harcourt (Nigeria) in the year 2002. IFP School in France has for many years established international collaboration and partnership with world-renowned Universities in different parts of the world (Imperial College of Science & Technology, London (UK); Colorado School of Mines (USA); Texas A & M (USA); Oklahoma University (USA); McGill University (Canada); Technical University Delft (Netherlands) and Universit Gubkin (Russia)). This brings together different cultures, academic programs and technology applications. Through its association with IFP School, IPS now belongs to this international consortium of Institutions. 1.2
Program Objective
The University of Port Harcourt and Institut Franais du Ptrole have associated their experience in teaching and research in the fields of petroleum exploration, reservoir characterisation, petroleum engineering and field management to create a Master's degree dedicated to petroleum engineering and project development. The oil industry is greatly interested in increasing knowledge and integrating know-how into the architecture and management of petroleum reservoirs, in view of a more efficient recovery. For this reason, oil companies, service companies and governmental agencies are looking for professionals able to join efficiently multidisciplinary teams associated in oil or gas field development and management. The Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering and Project Development is designed to develop professional engineers with a high level of competency in drilling, reservoir engineering, well production and process. It prepares engineers with a good and sound knowledge of the basics of petroleum engineering and capable of fast adaptation to the needs of the Petroleum Industry. By associating Nigerian and European cultures the program also prepares the student to work in an international environment, as required now by the oil industry. Upon Completion of this program the graduates will be able to: Master the basic techniques needed to properly evaluate and manage oil and gas fields. Design and supervise the drilling of producing wells in an efficient way. Carry well maintenance programs to improve hydrocarbon recovery, design work over and stimulation programs. Master the basic techniques needed to design and realise hydrocarbon-producing facilities from well head to loading terminal. (On and Offshore) Carry out Production optimisation and field performance enhanced programs.

Organisation of the Institute
The Institute of Petroleum Studies (IPS) is situated within the University of Port Harcourt in Choba (Rivers State). It is managed by both UNIPORT and the IFP School in France through a close collaboration between the Director of the Institute (appointed by UNIPORT) and the co-ordinator (appointed by IFP School) Teachers will either come from IFP School or UNIPORT or will be specialist engineers from the Oil industry. Courses will be held in English. The Institute will provide students with efficient computer hardware and software similar to what can be found within the oil companies. Admission requirement: For admission into the program candidates must possess a minimum Second Class (Upper Division) honours Bachelors Degree in Engineering. Engineers with 5 years working experience in the petroleum industry who graduated with Second Class (Lower Division) honours Bachelors degree will also be considered.

This method will familiarise the students with teamwork spirit that is needed in the industry. The Industrial Project (Industrial Thesis) is an independent study by students to find engineered solutions to oilfiled problems. The projects are supervised by Lecturers from the University of Port Harcourt and industrial experts. Computer Software: Most widely used specialised software (as used by the industry) will be available to the students for practice. Project Presentations/Seminars: Both the industrial projects and Field Development Projects are presented to examination boards made up of lecturers from IFP School, Uniport and industry experts. The presentation takes the form of Seminar/Technical Forum.

They will study an oil or gas field development project using different scenarios (number of wells, horizontal or vertical, type of completion, type of producing facilities, economics). Then each group will be assigned a scenario for which they will draw the drilling, the evaluation and completion Program. They will design the producing facilities and prepare a financial report based on the computed recoverable reserves.
