Course content
The course addresses methods for numerical differentiation and integration, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, numerical solution of sets of linear equations, numerical solution of partial differential equations, and numerical optimization useful for petroleum engineering and geoscience. Also basic techniques for machine learning is included.
Learning outcome
The course aims at giving the students experience in use of computers to solve numerical problems in petroleum engineering and geoscience.
Knowledge: The students should acquire knowledge about basic numerical techniques applied to problems from petroleum engineering and geoscience. Fundamental understanding of power consumption and environmental implications of numerical computing should also be acquired.
Skills: The students should be capable of writing programming routines for the numerical solution of problems in petroleum engineering and geoscience.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and obligatory exercises. The course is evaluated by a reference group.
Compulsory assignments
- Project
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
If the teaching is given in English, the examination papers will be given in English only. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments. If there is a re-sit examination, the form of assessment may be changed from written to oral examination.
