Northeast Petroleum University

Northeast Petroleum University (NEPU), located in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, China, is a key comprehensive university with a strong focus on petroleum and petrochemical engineering. Founded in 1960 following the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield and renamed in 2010, NEPU is jointly supported by Heilongjiang Province and China's three major oil companies (CNPC, Sinopec, CNOOC).

The university has two campuses in Daqing and Qinhuangdao, covering a total area of 1.693 million square meters. It comprises 19 teaching units, 53 undergraduate programs, and enrolls nearly 28,000 students. Three disciplines—Engineering, Chemistry, and Geosciences—rank in the global top 1% of ESI.

NEPU's flagship programs include Petroleum Engineering, Geological Resources and Geological Engineering, and Chemical Engineering and Technology, which enjoy high reputation in the global oil industry. Designated as one of China's 88 national key universities in 1978 and a member of the Excellence Engineer Education Program, NEPU's Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering discipline ranks among the top in China.

Graduates are highly sought after by major oil companies like CNPC, Sinopec, and CNOOC, ensuring excellent employment prospects. The university's research strength is evidenced by three ESI top 1% disciplines. Deep collaboration with the oil industry provides students with abundant internship and job opportunities, making NEPU a top choice for energy-related studies.

NEPU boasts a high-quality faculty of 2,185 members, including national-level experts and industry professionals. The curriculum emphasizes both theory and practice, offering bilingual and international courses, as well as joint programs with overseas universities.

The university offers 5 first-level doctoral programs, 22 first-level master's programs, and 5 postdoctoral research stations. It hosts several provincial and ministerial key laboratories and engineering research centers, such as the State Key Laboratory of Oil and Gas Resources and Exploration Technology (cultivation).

The Daqing campus is located in the high-tech zone, featuring a green environment with modern teaching buildings, labs, libraries, and sports facilities. The Qinhuangdao campus, situated in a coastal city, offers a pleasant seaside atmosphere ideal for study and life.

Student dormitories are equipped with air conditioning and internet, and cafeterias provide diverse dining options. NEPU has advanced petroleum engineering training bases and virtual simulation centers for hands-on learning.
