Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE:
• About a selected topic within petroleum engineering
• General knowledge building (ontology engineering)
• Modeling techniques related to specific knowledge (case)
• Unwanted events and their symptoms
• Relationships between events, symptoms and general knowledge
• Commercial tools for building and evaluation of knowledge


SKILLS:
• Structuring and building of selected general knowledge
• Structuring and building of specific knowledge (cases)

• Reveal the root cause of unwanted events.

COMPETENCE:
• Evaluate failures in a process and be able to suggest improvements and counter measures on basis of general and specific knowledge

Learning methods and activities

Collocvium, discussions, small projects. Each student will build his/her own domain model, own cases (minimum 5 with different but related content). Matching between new and existing cases will be tested.

Compulsory assignments

• Exercises

Recommended previous knowledge

MSc degree in Petroleum Engineering or approval by lecturer.
