308077 (v.1) Petroleum Well Engineering Dissertation 691
| Area: | Department of Petroleum Engineering |
| Credits: | 50.0 |
| Contact Hours: | 4.0 |
| Seminar: | 1 x 4 Hours Weekly |
| Prerequisite(s): | 308076 (v.1) Group or Team Well Design Workover Project 690 or any previous version
|
| Syllabus: | This project could involve some or all of the processes involved in the design project in addition to specific drilling, workover and completion problem situations and the identification and solution of the problems. The use of the latest state of the art techniques in drilling bit selection and real-time monitoring, horizontal and multi-lateral well drilling, completion and workover, stimulation and sand control techniques, borehole stability problems, drilling into over pressured reservoirs and formations containing natural gas hydrates, are some of the major interests in well engineering. Any of these topics, preferably based on industry requirements, could be selected for this individual project. A dissertation will need to be submitted and a presentation made to the examiners at the conclusion of the project. |
