About the project: The Centre of Excellence in Oil, Gas and Energy (CoEOGE) was established at IIT Bombay in 2019 through the initiative by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG). The Centre’s mandate is to conduct research to address existing and emerging challenges in the oil and gas and the broader energy sector. The research conducted through the centre is in active collaboration with the Seven oil and gas public sector undertakings (PSUs). The centre thus represents a unique initiative that connects the Government, Industry and Academia to solve problems at the forefront of the oil and gas sector.
The research projects cover areas such as refinery operations, catalysis and process development, pipeline monitoring, carbon capture, upstream exploration and production,waste management, digitalization of the oil and gas sector and energy transition studies. The projects include the development of hardware as well as software tools in these focus areas. More details of CoEOGE is available in the website: www.coeoge.iitb.ac.in.
