MODULE DESCRIPTOR
Module Title
Introduction to Energy Industry
Reference	SU4040	Version	3
Created	July 2021	SCQF Level	SCQF 9
Approved	September 2015	SCQF Points	15
Amended	September 2021	ECTS Points	7.5

Aims of Module
To provide the student with an ability to understand the nature of the Oil and Gas Industry and the basics of commercial management and cost engineering as applied to the Industry.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1	Analyse the structure of the Oil and Gas Industry including the concepts of upstream and downstream activities
2	Explore and analyse the basics of commercial management as applied to the Oil and Gas Industry
3	Explore and analyse the role of the cost engineering as applied within the Oil and Gas Industry.

Indicative Module Content
The module will explore the structure of the energy industry in terms of upstream, midstream and downstream working and the role of the cost engineer in managing the commercial aspects of delivery.

Module Delivery
This module is delivered via two modes,one with attendance for full time and the other distance learning via the University Virtual Campus (VC) for Distance Learning students. For full time students this is predominantly a lecture based module supplemented with tutorials/seminars and or workshops. A substantial part of the module is devoted to student centred learning in the form of directed reading of legal journals, core texts and resource material. For distance learning students this is a student centred learning experience in the form of participation in VC collaboration/discussion tools focusing on directed reading of legal journals, core texts and resource material.
