The participants obtain sufficient knowledge within geology, drilling, production and reservoir engineering to be able to understand e.g. the choice of wellbore path (vs. geology) and to e.g. suggest further investigations to clarify critical issues revealed by you as an alert collaborator in the ongoing operation.
Målgruppe
Innhold
Oil & gas processes are initiated by the deposition of sediments, including source rocks and the process of trapping the slowly migrating oil. Drilling into the reservoirs requires deviated wellbores and methods to ensure safe handling of the pressures in the overburden. To ensure safe drilling operations, inhibitive drilling fluids must be suggested and kicks must be avoided or eventually properly handled. The production of reservoir depends largely of the reservoir’s capillary pressure and its fluid properties, and on the production equipment and production methods. Processing of the hydro carbons on the platform concludes the course.
The course can be part of NTNU's Master of Science in Oil and Gas Technology.
