Natural Gas Engineering

Description

Components of the petroleum production systems- Well inflow performance and deliverability analysis. Production from both saturated and under saturated oil reservoirs -Production from two phase reservoirs- Production from gas reservoirs -Pseudo critical properties of natural gases- Gas well deliverability for non-Darcy flow- The near-wellbore condition and wellbore skin characterization- Well head surface gathering systems. Artificial lift systems- Horizontal well production- Production chemistry basics (wax, scale, corrosion, emulsions).

Program

Bachelor Degree in Oil and Gas Engineering (180)

Objectives

• Understand of phase behaviour of the natural gas and learn determining the physical and thermal properties of natural gas. Understand the mechanics of the flow of natural gas from the formation into the well-bore, up to the surface and in production lines and equipments and hence gain a sound understanding of the scientific methods and technology involved in producing, transportation and storage of natural gas. Recognize interdependence between the reservoir, the well-bore, piping system performances as coherent system.
