Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (P N G)

P N G 491 Reservoir Engineering Design (1) Application of the concepts of reservoir and drilling engineering to petroleum engineering design projects.

P N G 491 Reservoir Engineering Design (1)

Engineering design by definition is the integration of knowledge and skills acquired through experience, reading and formal instruction into a final product, the design. To that end, this course is the second course of a 3-course, 3-semester, sequence that will result in a comprehensive capstone-engineering project. As such, P N G 491 will utilize the knowledge gained from P N G 405, 410, 450 and 489 to the project design initiated in P N G 490. Course materials will include introduction to the simulator, development of the computer model, and the use of history match in design.

The class will be divided into teams and students will be evaluated on the basis of their contribution to the team effort. All reports and presentations will be presented to the class as a product of the team.
