4. Brief statistics of petroleum education
at Norwegian University of Science and Technology
established in 1973
2000 graduated sivilingeniørs and M.Sc.’s during
100 graduated Ph.D.´s candidates during
around M.Sc.’s graduate per year
around 10 Ph.D.´s graduate per year
currently around 90 full-time teachers, staff, researchers
around 300 students enrolled at upper B.Sc. and M.Sc. Levels

5. History of Petroleum Program
Diploma Course “Petroleum Exploration and Production” Separate English-language course for non-Norwegian students More than 200 persons completed the course
M.Sc. Programs 1993-current “Petroleum Engineering” & “Petroleum Geoscience” English-language programs where non-Norwegian students are integrated with Norwegian students So far, more than 600 non-Norwegians have have enrolled (and more than 1000 Norwegians)

7. International M.Sc. and Ph.D. Programs
English Language Instruction
40% non-Norwegian Students in M.Sc. Program
50% non-Norwegians in Ph.D. Program

8. International Educational Collaboration
Student exchange agreements with European universities
Student exchange agreement with University of Texas,
Texas A&M University, Colorado School of Mines
Student exchange agreement with Univeristy of Campinas, Brazil
Student exchange agreement with University of New South Wales
NORAD-financed petroleum education for students from
Asia and Afrika (12 per year)
Government-financed petroleum education for students from
Eastern Europe and developing countries (15 per year)
Educational collaboration with Pomor University, Russia
150 students trained during
Training ageement with NIOC, Iran for education and research.
50 Iranians will get M.Sc. degrees at NTNU
Training agreements with Venezuela og Aserbaijan

13. Profile of the M.Sc. program at NTNU
30 professors involved Ph.D. students available as teaching assistants An international class of M.Sc. students per year
Research-based program Advanced laboratories No. 1 on research quality (NFR evaluation 2004) Multidisciplinary environment
Close collaboration with Norwegian oil and gas industry

14. Modern Facilities High Performance Visualization and Computing
Huge amounts of data and demanding computational tasks are typical for many of the petroleum disciplines. Through a close collaboration with Norsk Hydro, the department has been able to install a floor-to-ceiling Virtual Reality laboratory, with a dedicated 32-processor SGI computer. The laboratory is used primarily for visualization of seismic data and reservoir fluid flow. Other applications are under development. We have close collaboration with other departments at NTNU, such as medicine and computer science.

15. Industry-Sponsored Field Courses Integrated in M.Sc. Program
Geological Field Courses
Through close collaboration with Statoil, Norsk Hydro, BP, and Shell several new field courses for the M.Sc. students have been developed over the past few years. The courses take place at Svalbard, in England, in the Pyrenees and in Oman.

16. Multi-Disciplinary Groups
Group-based multidisciplinary learning processes
Considerable resources are invested in modern learning methods and technology over the past few years (PBL, multi-disciplinary groups, web-based learning). Through close collaboration with Norwegian oil companies, in particular with Statoil, large amounts of field data and realistic field problems have become freely available for education and research. In addition resources for investment in modern equipment and facilities for the development of inspiring and effective learning environments have been made available.

18. Challenges of establishing petroleum programs in the South
Infrastructure Advanced laboratories need to be established
Professors Faculty members need to be developed
Research activities Education at M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels need to be based on active research programs
Industrial relationships Engineering programs need to have an industrial relationship
International exposure An international perspective should be implemented

19. The requirements of establishing petroleum programs in the South
Faculty members The development of faculty members and research activities in the South include education of Ph.D.’s and active research collaboration in order to qualify as faculty members.
Infrastructure Basic infrastructure can be purchased for money. Advance research infrastructure needs to be developed in parallel with the development of research activities.
Industrial relationship Norway is unique in terms of collaboration between academia and industry. To develop such relationships require time and patience.

20. The requirements of establishing petroleum programs in the South – cont’d
International exposure Norway actively promotes sending students at higher levels abroad for one semester or two for broadening of perspective and exposure to culture and research. This should be equally important for students in the South.
Time perspective and costs In short terms, costs will increase; in long terms, 10 years ++, costs will probably decrease

21. Current activities at NTNU aimed at development of petroleum programs in the South
Sandwich programs NTNU is in discussions with several institutions in the South for planning possible sandwich programs. Currently, we are in a screening fase to select 2 or 3 institution for development of a closer relationship: -U Augustinho Neto-Angola -Bangladesh U of Engineering and Technology (BUET) -Indian School of Mines -Maharashtra Inst. of Techn. -Inst. Of Techn.U of Indonesia -Kathmandu U -U of BeninU of Uyo -South Afr. Petr.Studies -U of Dar es Salam -Makerere U -Hanoi U of Mining and Geology -HoChiMinh City U of Tech.
