History of the Institute

Since its founding in 1943, what is now the Institute of Subsurface Energy Systems has undergone a number of changes, which you can read about here.

The Institute of Subsurface Energy Systems is led by a board of directors consisting of the two full-time faculty members, with rotating leadership. In 1983, a departmental structure was introduced at the ITE in accordance with the amended Lower Saxony Higher Education Act. The institute consists of three departments that are autonomous in terms of teaching and research:

  • Drilling and Production Technology
  • Reservoir Engineering
  • Petroleum Production Systems

Central tasks such as the library, teaching materials, academic affairs, and the administration of third-party funding are handled on a cross-departmental basis by staff in permanent positions.
The institute’s leadership is supported in all matters regarding structure and education by a competent advisory board composed of representatives from industry.
