The faculty was established after upgrading the Department of Geology and Environmental Sciences of the Faculty of Science into an independent faculty and transferring the academic staff of the department to the Faculty of Petroleum and Natural Resources. The Faculty now includes three departments, the Department of Oil and Gas Engineering, the Department of Geology, and the Department of Environmental Sciences. The faculty offers three bachelor programs, one in each department. It looks forward to establishing new departments and programs in the future.
The Department seeks to prepare and qualify cadres with the required scientific competencies to keep pace with developments in the field of environment.
