CO₂ Nexus Workshop

The Department of Petroleum Engineering and Earth Sciences organizes the CO₂ Nexus Workshop as a flagship academic initiative focused on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). The CO₂ Nexus Workshop was designed as a high-impact academic initiative focusing on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)—a critical technology in global efforts toward climate change mitigation. The workshop brought together leading experts from premier institutions to deliver in-depth insights into carbon management strategies, lifecycle analysis, and sustainable energy transitions.

Participants were introduced to the scientific principles of carbon sequestration, including geological storage in depleted reservoirs and saline aquifers. Advanced discussions covered carbon utilization pathways, policy frameworks, and industrial implementation challenges. The workshop emphasized interdisciplinary collaboration between geoscience, engineering, and environmental policy.

Through expert lectures, interactive sessions, and case studies, students gained exposure to real-world applications of CCUS technologies, preparing them to contribute to emerging low-carbon energy solutions.

Community Outreach Program – Cleanliness Drive

The Department of Petroleum Engineering and Earth Sciences actively organizes the Community Outreach Program – Cleanliness Drive as part of its commitment to social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

This initiative involves students and faculty working collaboratively to promote cleanliness, hygiene awareness, and waste management practices in surrounding communities. Activities include cleaning public spaces, conducting awareness campaigns, and educating citizens on sustainable living practices.

Through such outreach programs, the department nurtures socially responsible engineers and geoscientists who understand their role in contributing to both environmental conservation and community development.

Fire Safety Workshop

The Fire Safety Workshop was conducted in collaboration with industry professionals to provide hands-on training in fire prevention, hazard identification, and emergency response protocols.

Participants were trained in the use of fire extinguishers, evacuation procedures, and safety compliance standards followed in industrial environments, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Demonstrations included real-time fire control techniques and safety drills, ensuring practical understanding.

The workshop highlighted the importance of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) practices in high-risk industries, equipping students with essential safety competencies required in professional settings.

Geological Field Visits

The Department of Petroleum Engineering and Earth Sciences organizes Geological Field Visits as an integral component of its academic curriculum, providing students with essential hands-on experience in real geological environments. Geological Field Visits are a cornerstone of experiential learning in earth sciences, providing students with direct exposure to natural geological formations, structures, and processes.

Tehri Hydroelectric Project Visit

Students explored the geological and engineering aspects of one of India’s largest hydropower projects. The visit focused on:

Dam-site geology and structural stability
