| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| The module imparts a comprehensive understanding of applying completion technologies to address specific challenges in petroleum production. It also aims to develop an ability to integrate these technologies in the complex system represented by the subsea environment, in terms of stress analysis, well intervention interfaces, hydrodynamic forces and the design and operation attributes of subsea flowlines and multiphase pump. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Critically analyse the fundamental principles governing fluid flow in porous media and conduits, considering their impact on inflow performance and vertical lift performance, with the ultimate goal of optimizing well production. |
| 2 | Critically appraise a variety of conceptual solutions for the design of lower and upper completions with their associated rewards and limitations. |
| 3 | Evaluate well tubing string design by conducting stress analysis calculations with appropriate design safety factors. |
| 4 | Critically evaluate and recommend functional capability of well intervention techniques for a variety of situations. |
| 5 | Prepare a plan for commissioning subsea well production, with the potential impact of flow assurance considerations and transient multi-phase flow phenomenon while mitigating the impact of hydrodynamic phenomena on marine risers and flowlines. |
