  1. Energy research and educationatFaculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Vice dean Helge K. Dahle FacultyofMathematics and Natural Sciences

  2. Traditions for energy research and education 2012 – Master in energy

  3. Two distinguished researchers • Vilhelm Bjerknes • Bergen school of meterology • Markvard A. Sellevoll: • Professor in solid earth physics

  4. Key information: • Founded in 1946 by Bergen Museum as the first scientific unit at the University of Bergen • 8 Departments • 3 Centres of excellence • 3 Innovation centres • Several other units & centres • Employees: ~ 450+ 350 • Students: ~ 1300+ 600+ 400 • Budget: Mill NOK 450+ 310

  5. The 8 Departments • Chemistry • Biology • Geophysics • Earth Science • Informatics • Mathematics • MolecularBiology • Physics and Technology

  6. Discipline-oriented research and education in Mathematics, Science and Technology • Education: • Bachelor’s Programme in Geosciences (85) • Bachelor’s Programme in Petroleum and Process Technology (50) • Master’s Programme in Petroleum Technology • Master’s Programme in Earth Sciences –Petroleum Geoscience • Master’s Programme in Energy (20) • > 10 PhD’s active in renewable energy research • > 75 PhD’s active in petroleum related research

  7. Petroleum research • Exploration • Reservoir characterization • Enhanced oil recovery • Gas hydrates

  8. Mission statement Our mission is to continue being an international leading centre for developing fundamental knowledge aimed at maximizing recovery and increasing recoverable reserves in existing oil and gas fields. Main challenges Integration of disciplinary subsurface petroleum research is the key fundament of CIPR, and crucial to fulfilling our mission. CIPR

  9. Facts about CIPR Joint research focus UoB/Uni Research Personnel resources • 70 researchers involved • 40 PhD candidates • 40 master students Education and publications (2003-2012) Number of master students incl. current: 164 Number of PhD candidates incl. current: 83 Journal publications: 628 Other publications: 1294

  10. A Oil Production Rate Incremental Oil Recovery B Time CIPR contributions to closing the production gap Reservoir description Best reservoir model Reservoir communication Better predictions Simulation methods Enhanced oil recovery methods Move trapped oil Sweep improvement Monitoring Find best drilling targets

  11. Petroleum education • Master’s Programme in Earth Sciences • Petroleum Geoscience • Master’s Programme in Petroleum Technology • Reservoir Chemistry • Reservoir Geology • Reservoir Geophysics • Reservoir Mechanics • Reservoir Physics • > 75 active PhD students • Bachelor’s Programme in Geosciences • Bachelor’s Programme in Petroleum and Process Technology

  12. Renewable energy and CCS Interdisciplinary focus on energy research and education -Wind power - CO2 storage - Geothermal - Bio fuels - Tidal waves and currents - Fuel cells - Solar power UiB has expertise that can contribute to finding solutions. One of the major global challenges of our society is related to the need for sustainable and secure energy. Research and education across disciplines is important in order to meet future energy needs. University in Bergen http://www.uib.no/matnat

  13. Renewable energy and CCS Main partner in two centers for environmental friendly energies (FME), and the Norwegian Center for Geothermal Energy Research

  14. Master’s Programme in Energy • Specialications: • Renewable energy • Energy technology • Carbon Capture and Storage • Nuclear power • Aim to educate candidates with a broad understanding of energy issues in the society combined with specialization • Collaboration: • UiB – Bergen University College

  15. The PhD-program: • The faculty offers one PhD-program • Students are admitted on the basis of a Norwegian Master’s degree or equivalent education • To be admitted the student needs to be financed through scholarships or announced PhD-positions • PhD-positions are three years (project financed) or four years (University financed) • Enrolment at the department • Training component consists of minimum 30 credits
