PETROLEUM ENGINEERING DESIGN

Course Description

Petroleum Engineering Design is a project-based course, designed for the student to start from "a" and come to "z" with respect to reconnaiscence, exploration, drilling, testing and production, including property valuation. Common topics of the course will be: Introduction to design methodology in Petroleum Engineering, formulation of design problems, consideration of alternate solutions, feasibility analysis; Development of student creativity by using open ended problems. Project engineering and management of engineering projects will also be included, comprising risk analysis as well. A case study of designing drilling projects will be given to a group of students and teamwork will be observed to complete and present the findings of the project.
