PET 302 - Petroleum Production Engineering

3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.)

Design, maintenance, and analysis of oil and gas well production systems. The course focuses on understanding how well and reservoir dynamics affect well performance, and how well performance can be diagnosed to identify candidates for stimulation, pump changes, and other remedial operations. Topics covered include subsurface and surface production equipment, flowing well performance, artificial lift systems, well test analysis, production logging, and well stimulation methods.
