Oil, Gas and Energy Management

Department of Oil, Gas and Energy Management

Exploration of energy resources has been increased rapidly in the world due to the vast demands from consumers, especially from industrial countries. Natural Resources (oil & gas) are the two key elements which are the most desirable project. Oil consumers were 33% while gas consumers were 24% approximately in 2013 although people’s demands on these Natural Resource has been increasing considerably. Total oil productions were 92 million barrels per a day in 2014 while 110 ft3natural gas was required in 2010 in the world. Demand on natural gas from industrial communities has been increasing rapidly particularly from 1980 to 2010, average production is doubled throughout world. Recently, Kurdistan Region has started to explore its Natural Resource and 57 contracts with many famous foreign oil companies. Consequently, this process effects on the infrastructure growth and Kurdish Independent in the future. There are 45 billion barrels of oil reserve and about 100-200 billion ft3of natural gas in the subsurface of Kurdistan Region also oil production of Kurdistan Region has increased promptly in 2013, amount of daily oil productions were nearly 250 000 barrels. This ratio is going to be increased at the end of 2015 to 650000 barrels and reach 2000 000 barrels per day in 2019. Petroleum scientists emphasize on the Natural Resource Management as the progressive and complex process because it need experts in the area of management, technique, economy and finance. Moreover, taking into account all risks which confronting of the human’s health including civilians and technicians. For that purpose, Charmu University has sense of full responsibility and the need to establish department of Oil, Gas and Energy Management. Hopefully, this department could be a part of the process of Oil and Gas Management and preparing new generations which will be specialists in the field.

Importance of this Department
This course is designated to motivate students for learning all the crucial information that related to Oil & Gas and Energy Management such as
· Having opportunity to develop their own information about foreign and native companies that related to Oil & Gas and Energy Management.
· Being an advisor in the field of energy sector, Minstry of Natural Resources.

What should be studied yearly?
1st academic year : An overview of oil and gas industries and essential management of energy in spite of studying Kurd ology, Computer Module and academic debate.

2nd academic year : An overview of Natural Resource and its consumptions in the world also recognition of producing electricity and energy with understanding the economic and commercial environments.

3rd academic year : Students should be prepared to analyze the different aspect of petroleum technology and being able to distinguish the energy resources.

4th academic year : Last year of studying, students have opportunity to try to finding job in the area of energy resource and being able to predict all those movement that related to Natural Resources and Management after that being ready to prepare scientific research also is another task in an academic method.
