Pipeline Transport, Oil and Gas Storage

Qualification given: Bachelor / Engineer

Faculty: Faculty of Mechanics and Technology

Department: Department of Pipeline Transport and Hydraulics

Study period: full-time – 4 years

Nowadays, the oil and gas pipeline is the most economical and, in many cases, the only possible way to transport oil and gas. It is a link between oil and gas fields, refineries and end users.

In the Republic of Belarus, the training of engineers in this specialty is carried out only at Euphrosyne Polotskaya State University of Polotsk.

Graduates of the specialty Pipeline Transport, Oil and Gas Storage are the most valuable specialists for the oil and gas industry; they get their first jobs at the leading enterprises of Belarus, where the average salary is consistently high.
