Pre-requirements
None.
Recommended previous knowledge
Knowlegde of reservoir physics and calculus.
Compulsory Requirements
2 exercises. The exercises are valid for 3 semester.
Assessment methods
Written exam (80%) and mandatory exercises (20%). The exam can be oral, depending on the number of students. If the exam is oral the mandatory exercises will still count 20%. An approved calculator is allowed in a written exam.
Grading Scale
The grading scale used is A to F. Grade A is the highest passing grade in the grading scale, grade F is a fail.
