Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The main objective of the subject is to acquire basic knowledge of technical means, technologies and methods of opening, extraction, processing and distribution of oil and gas. The aim is to provide students with an overall overview of the topic, where the individual disciplines will be discussed in detail within the specific subjects of the follow-up study. Introduction to hydrocarbon extraction will also include an elementary gas and oil production project management, including an analysis of safety and environmental risks.
