Physical Processes of Mining and Oil and Gas Production

Are you interested in the physical processes that take place underground, rocks and everything related to them? Do you want to study in the best program in both mining and oil and gas production? Would you like to get a unique specialization and work experience already during your studies?

Mining, the extraction of oil, gas and other resources hidden in the bowels of the earth and beneath the water columns of the oceans, is a true engineering art that allows for careful and efficient management of the wealth accumulated by our planet. After full-time studies in Physical Processes of Mining or Oil and Gas Production, you will become a specialist of the widest profile. You will learn geophysics and geotechnologies, subsurface structure and probing methods, learn to use modern information technologies, analytical equipment and robotic complexes. You will get an opportunity to work in the mining industry as a geophysicist, geomechanic or engineer!

Physical Processes of Mining and Oil and Gas Production

Pathway

Applied Geomechanics

Only at NUST MISIS will you become an expert in applied geomechanics. Your edge: knowledge in mining geophysics and non-destructive testing methods!

You’ll learn to monitor the stability of rock masses, design underground structures, and use specialized software. You’ll create digital twins of rock formations to predict and prevent mining accidents. Your career opportunities include mining, oil & gas, construction, and transportation sectors.

Duration of the program: 5 years. Full-time education in Russian.

Industrial Control in Mining and Oil and Gas Production

Want to master rock mass analysis, control destructive processes, and become a unique industrial control expert? Interested in a career in extractive or oil-processing industries — or in research?

In this track, you’ll learn to monitor the quality of raw materials and outputs in mining operations, conduct geophysical, non-destructive, and environmental inspections, and use geophysical and NDT equipment. You’ll be prepared for roles as quality control managers, safety auditors, or hazard prediction engineers.

Duration of the program: 5 years. Full-time education in Russian.
