Oil and Gas Production Engineering

Description

Components of the petroleum production systems- Well inflow performance and deliverability analysis. Production from both saturated and under saturated oil reservoirs -Production from two phase reservoirs- Production from gas reservoirs -Pseudo critical properties of natural gases- Gas well deliverability for non-Darcy flow- The near-wellbore condition and wellbore skin characterization- Well head surface gathering systems. Artificial lift systems- Horizontal well production- Production chemistry basics (wax, scale, corrosion, emulsions).

Objectives

• Describe the components of petroleum production systems. Analyze well inflow performance and deliverability for oil and gas wells, including saturated, undersaturated, two-phase, and gas reservoirs. Estimate the pseudo-critical properties of natural gases and the deliverability of gas wells under non-Darcy flow. Characterize the near-wellbore condition and wellbore skin. Describe wellhead surface gathering systems, artificial lift systems, horizontal well production, and basic production chemistry problems.
