Master's Degrees in Petroleum Engineering and Management at Universities in Canada, the UK and Australia.

Alain Lebastie, President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers: I believe that Russia is very successfully preparing for the future needs of qualified personnel. Many universities have strong oil divisions, where thousands of students study courses similar to those taught in Western institutions.

In Russia, offhand, more than 20 universities train oil specialists for the oil industry. If we take into account universities that train specialists in related specialties (geology, land use, ecology, etc.) that are also in demand in the oil industry, then their number increases significantly. There is plenty to choose from for a future applicant who wants to do.

With such a wide choice, another problem arises - the problem of choice. Which university to choose, which one to prefer? Which of the possible options is the best?

To make the process of choosing a university a little easier for parents and their children - future petroleum engineers - this article was written.

I present to your attention the ranking of the best universities for the training of future oil professionals. The rating in no way claims to be the ultimate truth. Although it is based on some objective indicators, it still reflects a very subjective opinion. Everything is relative in our world. This statement has been true before. It is true even now. Therefore, the main purpose of the ranking is to give stakeholders some point of reference for their own research in this area.

Without further explanation and spreading the thought along the tree, let's go directly to the rating.

10 best universities in Russia for training oilmen

Top 10 universities in Russia that train professional petroleum engineers (engineers, specialists, future managers and business leaders):

Russian State University of Oil and Gas THEM. Gubkin
Tomsk Polytechnic University
Tyumen State Oil and Gas University
Ufa State Oil Technical University
Udmurt State University
Perm State Technical University
Arkhangelsk State Technical University
Almetyevsk State Oil Institute
Ukhta State Technical University
Yugra State University

Special mention deserves the Master's programs of Heriot-watt University based on Tomsk Polytechnic University. Education on these programs is carried out on the basis of already received higher education, so it would be wrong to include them in the main rating. The duration of these programs is 12 months.

Additionally, as a bonus for those interested in education outside of Russia, here are the Top 10 US universities that also train and educate specialists for the oil industry.

Top 10 US Petroleum Universities

Texas A&M University-College Station
University of Texas at Austin
Stanford University
Colorado School of Mines
University of Oklahoma
Louisiana State University-Baton Rouge
University of Tulsa
Texas Tech University
Penn State University-University Park
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology

Each of the listed American universities has its own unique area of specialization, so you need to carefully study what advantages a particular university has and choose the one that suits your particular situation.

Good luck with your admission and outstanding achievements!

Oil and gas are among Russia's most important resources. In terms of oil production, Russia is second only to Saudi Arabia, and in terms of natural gas it holds a leading position. Due to such huge production volumes, specialists in the oil and gas field are constantly required. Therefore, there are quite a lot of oil and gas institutions in Russia.

Russian oil and gas them. Gubkin

RGUNG them. Gubkin is a large Moscow university, which is the main oil and gas university in the country. It has 10 faculties, almost all of which train students in oil and gas business. The university has a lot of different narrow specialties that are in demand throughout the country for at least the next decade. The university also includes a military department, a correspondence department, a master's program and a postgraduate course. The cost of training is on average from 235 to 301 thousand rubles. The passing score is quite high, for most specialties it starts from 80.

Ufa State Oil Technical University

USPTU was originally opened as a branch of RGUNG named after V.I. Gubkin, but now it is an independent university, which has long established itself as one of the best in the oil and gas industry. In 2016, the Ufa State University of Economics was attached to it.

It consists of 3 institutes and 7 faculties, master's, postgraduate and doctoral studies. Training is conducted in more than 50 specialties. At the moment, about 20 thousand students study in it, and they are taught by a staff of 1300 teachers.

The cost of training is from 110 to 160 thousand rubles a year. This is not a lot for such a large university. The passing score for three exams for different specialties can range from 170 to 220 points.

Institute of Oil and Gas ASTU

This is one of the best oil and gas institutions in Russia. At the moment, it has four departments that train in 11 areas. The institute is well equipped with laboratories for student training, and it also has a testing ground for drilling equipment. It also cooperates with foreign oil and gas companies and educational institutions.

The cost of education is quite low and amounts to 116 thousand rubles per year in all specialties. The passing score of the Institute of Oil and Gas in this case is minimal.

Base Tyumen Industrial University

This university is actively supported by state corporations (Surgutneftegaz OJSC, LUKOIL OJSC, Transneft Siberia and many other oil and gas companies), so the prospects for studying at this university are quite high. It was formed from the Tyumen Oil and Gas University and the Tyumen State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. At the moment, it includes two institutions that are related to the oil and gas business. The cost of education is very low. The average minimum score is 64.

This is only a part of the list of oil and gas institutions in Russia. They are quite widespread. There are several dozens of oil and gas institutes in Russia. Most of them are located on the basis of large universities, so if you decide to study oil and gas, you can enter any of them without any problems.
