Departament of Petroleum Engineering

The AGH Department of Petroleum Engineering is an interdisciplinary research team focused on the exploitation of fluid resources, groundwater management, and the use of geological structures in the context of environmental and technological challenges. We combine geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, and digital modeling to develop solutions that support the efficient and responsible use of natural resources. Our activities integrate technical expertise with industrial practice, contributing to sustainable development.

Research

We conduct research that integrates Earth sciences with reservoir engineering and digital modeling. Our teams specialize in analyzing processes occurring within the rock mass, the exploitation of fluid resources—including groundwater—geological space management, and the development of technologies that support the sustainable use of subsurface resources and geological structures.
