UNIT REFERENCES, TEXTS, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT DETAILS: | The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline. |
Syllabus: | In this unit, students will undertake the first part of a comprehensive research project. It aims to ensure that the student has grasped a broad base of knowledge in petroleum engineering and is able to apply it to solve a specific, complex, real-world problem. Students will conduct research activities on an approved topic under an academic supervisor. The research topic will cover some aspects of oil and gas production or operation. Each student will operationalise the project objectives, conduct a literature survey, apply an appropriate research methodology, collect and analyse preliminary data, draw tentative conclusions, and prepare a written report. The project will be completed in Petroleum Engineering Research Project 2. |
