Oil and oil and gas processing technology

Bukhara State Technical University

Program: Oil and Oil-Gas Processing Technology

Information

Crude oil extracted from underground reservoirs is not yet a finished product — before becoming gasoline, diesel fuel, or chemical raw materials, it must undergo a complex refining process. Specialists who understand and manage these processes are always in demand in the energy sector.

This program at Bukhara State Technical University provides comprehensive knowledge of all stages — from oil production to converting it into high-quality products. This field is especially important because the Bukhara region is one of the areas with a developed oil and gas processing industry.

What will you study?

The program provides strong knowledge in the following areas:

Oil Refining Technology – conversion of crude oil into fuels and other products through distillation, cracking, and other chemical-technological processes.

Gas Processing and Purification – removal of harmful impurities from natural gas and preparation for industrial use.

Petrochemical Synthesis – production processes of plastics, rubber, and other chemical materials based on petroleum products.

Technological Equipment and Units – structure and operating principles of reactors, columns, heat exchangers, and industrial equipment.

Process Automation and Control – monitoring and managing technological parameters during production.

Industrial Ecology and Safety Engineering – environmental protection and compliance with industrial safety requirements.

Product Quality Control – laboratory analysis and verification of finished products according to standards.

What will students achieve?

Graduates become specialists capable of understanding and managing oil and gas processing operations from beginning to end. They gain skills in analyzing raw materials, selecting processing schemes, and identifying technological problems.

Students also learn industrial safety requirements, environmental standards, and product quality testing using modern laboratory equipment, which helps them successfully enter the petrochemical industry.
