About master’s program

Specializations of the program:

Specialization 1: «Technological systems for the preparation and transportation of natural and associated petroleum gas.» It is aimed at training specialists for oil and gas companies operating gas treatment, gas transportation and gas processing systems;
Specialization 2: «Compressor and expander equipment of the fuel and energy complex». It is aimed at training specialists in the design of compressor and expander equipment used in the fuel and energy complex.

In our program, we teach students technologies for the preparation, transportation and storage of natural and associated petroleum gas, the installation of gas transmission networks and compressor stations, the creation of digital counterparts of fuel and energy complex facilities, the design and operation of basic technological equipment (compressors, turbo expanders, heat exchange equipment, etc.), decarbonization technologies in the fuel and energy sector — reducing greenhouse gas emissions gases, which include natural and associated petroleum gases.

In addition, as part of the university—wide subjects of ITMO University, one of the world leaders in the field of computer technology, the master’s degree program provides students with basic knowledge of working with such a trending and sought-after tool in the industry as Artificial Intelligence: the basics of AI theory, the basics of programming and the application of AI are taught.

This knowledge allows our graduates to hold not only specialist positions, but also senior positions in companies related to transportation and gas processing or in manufacturing companies of technological equipment for gas transportation and gas processing. Graduates of our program are in demand and can work not only at Russian enterprises, but also in international oil and gas or related companies.
