Courses
PET E 295 - Fundamental Reservoir Engineering
Rock properties (porosity, permeability): definition, measurement and models. Rock-fluid interaction (wettability, relative permeability, interfacial tension, capillary pressure): definition, measurement and models. Single and multiphase flow through porous media Darcy equation and diffusivity equation: Derivation and solution for different coordinates and boundary conditions. Prerequisite: PET E 275. PET E 295 cannot be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained in PET E 373.
PET E 478 - Thermal Methods in Heavy Oil Recovery
A design course covering new developments in the area of heavy oil recovery. Will include modeling and designing heavy-oil recovery applications and thermal methods. Prerequisite: PET E 295 or PET E 373.
