Overview
If you're ready to take your interest and expertise in Energy Engineering into a postgraduate research degree, then Portsmouth is the perfect place to fulfil your ambitions.
Major advances are being made in renewable energy, but our global dependence on oil and gas looks set to continue for years to come. Our current research in the field investigates the exploration, drilling and extraction of oil, and its transportation to surface separation and petroleum refineries – and when you join us as a postgraduate research degree student, you'll play your part in continuing to turn our expertise into action.
We're busy finding new ways to improve the safety of petroleum production, and the efficiency of hydrocarbon oil and gas recovery too.

We have access to the latest experimental and computational facilities in our labs, and our computer suites feature analysis and simulation software used by professionals – including Schlumberger package, ECLIPSE, Petrel, Pipe Sim, Techlog, Sapphire and CMG. We're also home to a computer-aided design (CAD) suite, rapid prototyping suite, energy systems lab, petroleum engineering lab, and metrology and 3D scanning microscopy facilities.
