| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| This module aims to extend abilities developed in module ENM202 with a particular focus on specifying production flow measurement equipment, managing production data, maintaining the integrity of production facilities by addressing corrosion and production chemistry issues. The module also develops abilities in production enhancement through well intervention, treatment and formation stimulation. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Identify from first principles best practice in measurement system design and application and critically differentiate the strengths and weaknesses of various primary devices. |
| 2 | Clearly and logically demonstrate the ability to extract, analyse and present useful data from a production data management system. |
| 3 | Reasonably identify and discuss the properties and limitations of the principal materials used within the oil and gas industry and critically analyse the various threats to well optimisation caused by well integrity, flow assurance and fluids treatment issues in a production and injection system. |
| 4 | Design and develop programmes for managing well integrity, flow assurance and maximising productivity on a mature asset. |
| 5 | Compare and contrast the various stimulation techniques available for production and injection wells. |
