| Syllabus: | Petroleum Field Development Planning is the capstone unit of the course, which relies on the reinforcement and applications of many of the principles and techniques learnt in previous units in order to develop a petroleum asset following a systematic approach. The students will be involved in working in an-open ended group project to study the exploration and production results associated with geology, geophysics, formation evaluation, reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, and petroleum production and operation; and develop a recommendation for an optimum field development plan. The project will be based on a representative field data set for a typical oil and gas field, and involves performing an assessment of exploration and production lifecycle, reservoir mapping, prospect generation and evaluation; reserve estimation; and reservoir performance evaluation; production forecasting; appraising the field including economics justification, recommendation of optimum development plan which includes: identification and selection of suitable technologies for drilling, completion and production of petroleum; development of a field-wide operation philosophy with a consideration of health, safety and environmental impacts; assessment of economic feasibility with scenario and sensitivity analyses; reservoir monitoring and management, and field abandonment strategy. |
