- Bergen, Norway
This program offers a unique opportunity to master the fundamentals of numerical methods and programming, with a strong emphasis on their application to subsurface challenges in petroleum and geosystems engineering. Norway, with its extensive offshore geological formations in the North Sea and mature oil and gas reservoirs, provides an exceptional natural laboratory for studying long-term carbon dioxide storage and monitoring-areas currently at the forefront of global research. Our host, the University of Bergen, is home to one of the leading research groups in porous media, actively contributing to advancements in this field. Set against the backdrop of the historic city of Bergen-a UNESCO World Heritage site-and Norway's stunning coastal landscapes, this program creates an inspiring environment for exploring the intersection of computational methods and subsurface engineering.
