| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| This module aims to develop an ability to apply advanced completion technologies to solve particular petroleum production challenges. It also aims to develop an ability to integrate these technologies in the complex system represented by the subsea environment, both in terms of mechanical well intervention interfaces and the specific design and operation attributes of subsea production facilities. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Generate advanced well tubing string and flow line design and stress analysis calculations with appropriate design safety factors. |
| 2 | Critically appraise opportunities for deployment of advanced, novel and emerging completion technologies with their associated risks and rewards. |
| 3 | Prepare a programme for subsea well production commissioning, with the potential impact of flow assurance considerations and transient multi-phase flow phenomenon. |
| 4 | Critically evaluate the options for subsea well and infrastructure intervention with their relative technical capabilities, risk and cost implications. |
| 5 | Analyse methods of managing and/or mitigating the impact of hydrodynamic phenomena on marine risers and flowlines. |
