While it is common in Nigeria to see some universities offering Petroleum and Gas Engineering or Petroleum Engineering or Petrochemical Engineering as a taught programme, only at Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH) is Gas Engineering offers as a taught programme.
The course is an arm of Petroleum Engineering (the production of hydrocarbon: crude oil and natural gas) but with focus on natural gas.
The jobs of gas a engineer are in the Petroleum and Gas Industry but with concentration on optimizing the production of natural gas, or generally focus on one specific natural resource.
Listed below are the minimum entry requirements to study for the Bachelor of Engineering (BEmg) honour degree in Gas Engineering at Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH). This include for the direct entry and O'level applicants plus the WAEC and JAMB subjects combination.
