Master’s Thesis

A thesis is an integral part of a master study program. it is the documentation of a student’s “mastery” by practical or theoretical research results in the field of his/her elective course..

DPE defines “mastery” as the ability to successfully apply the concepts, methods, and skills taught in the different modules of its International Study Program in Petroleum Engineering, in order to solve a well-posed problem of relevance to industry and/or academia.

Master's Thesis and Presentation Procedure

• Drilling and Completion Engineering
• Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Recovery
• Reservoir Engineering
• Select a topic related to your major. It is not mandatory but strongly recommended to choose a topic focused on your major.
• A supervisor from the scientific staff, involved in the respective field of study, will be assigned to you. He or she will advise and guide you on your selected topic.
• Write the thesis proposal and submit it for approval to your supervisor.
• There are four dates available per year to defend the MSc thesis (usually during October, December, March, and June). You can consult the specific dates on MSc PE Calendar or ask Ms. Elisabeth Koch, Ms. Bettina Matzer or Ms. Marlies Helbl.
• The standard time frame for the Master’s thesis is at least six months. Usually, a 60-80 pages long thesis - without appendices and supplemental material- is expected.
• The thesis presentation will take place at least 1 week before the Master’s examination date at the respective Chair.
• The presentation will take 20 minutes, and 40 minutes are for questions from the professors. You can introduce yourself for 2-3 minutes. Based on your performance, the respective professor will give the final grade.

Very important to consider in the final version of your Master's Thesis: 

• Title Page and Affidavit: Use ONLY the files that you download from MUonline.
• The Affidavit downloaded from MUonline has to be included in the bound hardcover thesis after the Title Page.
• Upload your Master Thesis in PDF/A as a text document on MUonline.
• The thesis has to be confirmed and the plagiarism check has to be completed at least ONE WEEK before the exam date. 
• You have to deliver the bound hardcover thesis at least ONE WEEK before the exam date. One copy to the Chair and one copy to the Registrar's' office.

Master's Examination

The Master’s examination will take place one week after your Master's Thesis Presentation and will be structured as follows: 

• Short presentation (max. 3 slides) of your MSc thesis. You can introduce yourself for 5 minutes. 
• Oral examination (35 minutes) in the selected elective group of your studies.
• Oral examination (20 minutes) in a second topic, which you can select from the other two areas.

Requirements to select a date for the MSc Thesis Presentation and Examination

To be able to select a date, you must fulfill the following requirements:

• Have all courses (lectures, labs, etc.) from the MSc program completed.
• The thesis must be finished at least one month before the exam date registration.
• Have the Thesis registered on MUOnline at the Theses menu point. The abstract must be uploaded in English and German. Keywords, supervisors, co-supervisors must be appropriately listed.
• Utilize DPE’s official templates in both thesis and presentation. They are available at Downloads.
• The abstract is required in both English and German because submission and acceptance on MUOnline can only be done if the abstract in German has been uploaded.
• Once your supervisor approved your MSc Thesis, two copies of it are required to be printed and bound. One copy should be submitted to the chair where you completed your work, and the second one to the Registrar's' office at least 1 week before the exam date.
• The plagiarism check has to be completed at least 1 week before the exam date.

For detailed information, consult the PDF Guidelines at Downloads .

Petroleum engineering research papers/topics, gas flaring in nigeria: what can be done to curb it by cynthia ohaeri.

GAS FLARING in Nigeria, the burning of natural gas associated with oil extraction, has been a prevalent practice. Natural gas brought to the surface, especially where there is no infrastructure to put this “associated gas” to productive use is burnt for disposal thus making it a wasteful and generally polluting practice. An economy that promotes carbon emission through flaring wastes valuable energy products, increases health disparities and fuels climate change, a far-cry from the Glob...

Silicia Nanoparticles for Enhancing the Performance of Waterflooding in Oil Reservoirs

Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have been widely utilized in the oil and gas industry to improve different processes, such as in drilling operations, well cementing job, workover operations, wastewater remediation, and most importantly enhance oil recovery. Due to their particle sizes which ranges between 1 and 100 nm, large specific surface area, high dispersibility and tunable physico-chemical properties, they have the capability to alter the wettability of the reservoir rock and reduce the int...

Forecasting Oil Production Rates for Oil Wells Using Decline Curve Analysis and Polynomial Regression Model

In the course of employing decline curves to predict future oil production rates, there is a need to first determine the initial flowrate which often times presents an extent of difficulty especially for harmonic and hyperbolic decline trends. Conventional methods of initial flowrate determination require extrapolation of charts on study or spreadsheets which is time consuming. It is therefore essential to provide an algorithm that would help speed up initial flowrate calculations. This study...

Drilling Cost Optimization for Extended Reach Deep Wells Using Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract Global Petroleum reserves are currently getting depleted. Most of the newly discovered oil and gas fields are found in unconventional reserves. Hence there has arisen a need to drill deeper wells in offshore locations and in unconventional reservoirs. The depth and difficulty of drilling terrains has led to drilling operations incurring higher cost due to drilling time. Rate of Penetration is dependent on the several parameters such as: rotary speed(N), Weight-On-Bit, bit state, form...

Optimum Artificial Lift Selection for Condensate Gas Well

The reservoir characteristics of the gas condensate well is special and the changes of the behavior of the well have a significant impact to the production rate. When we do a proper optimization that can lower the operating costs, maximizing HC recovery and the net present value of a project can be increased. The optimization of the well level can be accomplished by adjusting well parameters such as tubing size, wellhead and the skin factor. All of these parameters were investigated with the ...

Consequently, it has been the focus of research to proffer effective predictive control measures to a probl...

A Novel Approach For Estimating Critical Rate And Horizontal Well Placement In Oil Rim Reservoirs

ABSTRACT Coning tendencies in oil rim reservoirs pose serious hindrance to optimizing oil production in the thin oil beds as unwanted fluids tend to replace the oil in the production stream, which invariably limits the ultimate oil recovery. In this study, a semi-analytical method of estimating critical production rate (qoc) and optimum horizontal well placement (hopt) was developed for reservoirs with thin oil zones sandwiched between gas cap and bottom water. Also, proxy models was generat...
