Course content
The fluid part of the course describes reservoir fluid properties, multi-component phase behavior, PVT lab tests, and use of PVT data in reservoir calculations. The flow part of the course treats single-well behavior for steady state condition of wells producing from porous media, radial flow, as well as gas material balance calculation and well testing.
Learning outcome
Ingress:
Completion of the course gives the students knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics, and flow in porous media.
Knowledge:
By the end of the semester, the students understand the comprehensive use of fluid phase properties, the application of Darcy’s law, gas material balance.
Skills:
By the end of the semester, the students will be able to perform phase equilibrium calculations and estimate fluid phase properties for reservoir and production engineering applications, and gas injection for EOR and storage, e.g. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The students also understand how to use a Fluid Modeling Package and Excel in their calculations.
General competence:
By the end of the semester, the students learn how to become autonomous learners and solve problems relying on their own ability to check and cross-check their work with others, in addition to using the lectures to seek feedback. During group work the students learn to cooperate and to take responsibility for their part of the assignments given.
Learning methods and activities
Flipped classroom, summary lectures, coaching, group project, self-study. Lectures are held in English.
Course evaluation is carried out by a reference group giving students' feedbacks to the course coordinator.
Further on evaluation
The assessment is based on 3 separate parts:
- A group project.
- Individual description of the project.
- Individual evaluation of another group’s project.
To pass the course, the students need to pass all the parts in the course.
Assessment for the course is partially based on group projects. If significant differences in the contributions from group members have been documented, individual adjustment of final grading may be considered.
For a re-take of the course, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics, and flow in porous media.
Required previous knowledge
None.
