This programme will build on your undergraduate chemistry experience and develop specialist skills applicable to the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry is expected to remain an important source of energy provision for the foreseeable future, with oil and gas projected to meet 60% of the world's energy needs in 2030, despite the growing research emphasis on renewable forms of energy generation.

Many of our graduates find careers in the oil and gas service sector, amongst which oilfield chemicals plays a significant role. Several such companies are based in Aberdeen but it is anticipated that graduates from this programme will be able to find employment opportunities in all major oil and gas producing countries.
