OVERVIEW OF PETROLEUM ENGINEERING
Course synopsis
This course introduces students to various disciplines in oil and
gas engineering. The contents of the course includes the origin,
migration, accumulation and the exploration of petroleum, the
types and properties of reservoir rocks and reservoir fluid, and
type of formation evaluation. This course also briefly discuss the
operation and equipment used in drilling, well completion and
production of petroleum.
Learning outcomes (cos)
1. Explain the origin, migration, accumulation and the exploration of
petroleum, the types and properties of reservoir rocks and
reservoir fluid, and solve basic properties calculation. (C3 – PO2)
2. Explain the equipment and their operations in drilling and
production of petroleum.(C2 – PO1)
3. Differentiate various types of formation evaluation and well
completion, and analyze the basic formation log. (C4 – PO2)
4. Demonstrate effective individual and teamwork in a group through report
writing or presentation and able to use and organize up-to-date resources
to analyze problems
