The goal of this Master Degree program is to educate specialists with the knowledge of the newest technologies of geological study, modeling and development of deposits, advanced scientific methods of seismic and geophysical exploration, geophysical well-logging, production enhancement, etc. All those will promote development of the innovative mechanisms for the transfer of new technologies and results of scientific researches to industry.

The training process is carried out by leading lectures of natural and humanitarian faculties of the Moscow State University, the main experts of oil and service companies of the Russian Federation, consultants and lecturers of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) and the leading foreign universities.

Geology undergraduates within the framework of the program get fundamental knowledge in licensing and legislation, environmental safety, reservoir monitoring , management in innovations in the field of geological surveys, etc.

Software for oil and gas exploration and production – from acquisition, seismic data processing to well logging and geological or geophysical interpretation, geostatistics, earth modeling, etc. – is used in educational process. Internship is organized at the enterprises and in the research and development centers of the major Russian oil companies.

Programms:

"Geological-geophysical exploration of oil and gas fields"

The purpose of the “Geological-geophysical exploration of oil and gas fields” Master's Degree programme is to educate oil and gas industry specialists with the knowledge of the latest technologies in geological and reservoir modeling, field development, advanced scientific methods of seismic exploration, well logging, enhanced oil recovery, etc. During the course of the training, undergraduates will learn the basics of geological, reservoir models of oil and gas fields, master modern methods of well surveys, get acquainted with high computing technology and modern software for processing and interpretation of geological and geophysical data in the field of petroleum geophysics and geology. Software products include products from the leading oil-producing and service companies. 

"Geological-geophysical exploration and modeling of hydrocarbons fields"

The purpose of the Master's Degree programme is to educate specialists of oil and gas industry in the field of modern technologies of geological and reservoir modelling, field development, advanced scientific methods of seismic exploration, well logging, enhanced oil recovery, etc. Special attention during the course of Master training is paid to computer technologies for construction of 3D geological and geophysical models of geological environment and 4D modelling of processes in this environment, and specifics of their application to practical geological problems.
