Graduate Catalog |PEEG 540 ADVANCED WELL PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONThis course provides detailed coverage of inflow performance relationships, multiphase flow in pipes and wellperformance evaluation. The emphasis is on the analysis, design and optimization of the production system usingnodal analysis. Commercial software packages will be used to apply learned methods to flowing and artificially liftedwells, injection wells and field-scale production optimization.Pre-requisite NoneCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)PEEG 541 WELL COMPLETIONS AND WORKOVERThis course provides comprehensive coverage of the various types of well completions and their applications andselection criteria. Design and selection of tubing and subsurface production control equipment. Review of the types andapplications of completion and workover fluids. Detailed study of perforating and sand control operations, Review ofproduction logging methods and their applications for well diagnosis. Remedial cementing and stimulation operations,Design and planning of basic workover operations.Pre-requisite NoneCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)PEEG 542 SURFACE PRODUCTION FACILITIESThis course provides a comprehensive coverage of the theory, design, operation, evaluation, and trouble-shooting of oil,water, and gas surface handling facilities.Pre-requisite NoneCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)PEEG 544 ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL LIFTThis course covers evaluation and analysis of well production performance; screening and selection of artificial liftingmethods; comprehensive study of artificial lift technology including artificial lift system design and optimization; andeconomic optimization of artificial lift systems.Pre-requisite NoneCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)PEEG 545 PRODUCED WATER CONTROL AND MANAGEMENTEmphasis of the course is dealing with the critical economic impact of produced water on maturing reservoirs, whetherthe source of produced water is waterflood injection or natural water drive. Topics will be chosen to meet needs andmay include corrosion, scaling, emulsions, hydrates, produced water management and water shutoff.Pre-requisite NoneCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)PEEG 550 ADVANCED PETROLEUM ECONOMICSTopics include engineering justification for capital outlay in the petroleum industry; appraisal of development andremedial work on oil and gas wells; appraisal of producing properties; estimation of productive capacity, reserves;operating costs, depletion, and depreciation; value of future profits, taxation, fair market value.Pre-requisite NoneCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)PEEG 595 GRADUATE SEMINAR IThe student attends a weekly seminar given by an outside speaker, and submits a synopsis of each talk for evaluation.In addition, the student is assigned a topic that will lead to the write-up and presentation of a paper with use ofaudiovisual aids, to practice techniques of oral communication.Pre-requisite Graduate standing and program permissionCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(1-0-1)Page 91
