Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Reservoir engineering: To understand the impact of the porous rock petrophysic parameters on the reservoir behaviour; the influence of the fluid thermodynamic properties in the oil & gas reserves determination and on fluid flow movements in the reservoir. Material balance interpretation while producing the reservoir. Understanding the fluid flow in a porous media and well test interpretations. Deep drilling technologies: Analyse and describe the well architecture, understand its development with the different associated drilling techniques required to drill a petroleum well. Pressure drop determination while flowing ideal viscous or non-ideal viscous fluids through production tubings (from bottom to surface) or drilling assemblies.
Content of UE
The reservoir engineering & drilling course is divided in four main parts which are: Part I provides fundamental knowledge on the reservoir rocks such as porosity, permeability, fluid saturation, concept of rock wettability & capillary pressure and relative permeability. Part II documents the fundamental thermodynamical properties for gas & crude oils. The complexity of hydrocarbon phase is not addressed, just an overall overview is presented. Part III introduces the concept of fluid flow in the reservoir. The radial diffusivity equation is derived and pressure transient analysis is introduced. Several chapters are more specialised describing the theory and practice of well testing and pressure analysis techniques, which are probably the most important subjects in the whole of reservoir engineering. Part IV covers the drilling and production techniques & technologies; it gives an introduction to the drilling rigs used to drill a petroleum well, the drilling technologies and the well equipment required for producing oil & gas fluids to surface. Hydraulic analysis of viscous flow (ideal and non ideal) during drilling phases and well production.
