Learning Outcomes
After the course PTEK213 the student will be able to:
- describe characteristics of the petroleum fields on the Norwegian continental shelf regarding reservoir properties and fluid properties
- describe critical parameters that affect the recovery of petroleum
- apply analytical models (dynamic and static) in order to add understanding of the physical/chemical processes that are relevant for the recovery performance
- carry out reservoir engineering calculations

Aim and Content
The course gives a basic introduction to recovery methods that are used for recovery of petroleum on the Norwegian continental shelf. Also, the course gives an introduction to unconventional methods that could have a potential of improving the recovery from the petroleum fields. Topics includes properties of reservoir rock and petroleum fluids, PVT-analysis, phase equilibrium, transport equations, material balance, microscopic displacement, volumetric sweep, decline analysis, fractured reservoirs, and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) with an emphasis on fractional flow analysis.

Recommended previous knowledge
Knowlegde of basic reservoir technology and chemical thermodynamics.
Compulsory Requirements
1 compulsory exercise. The compulsory exercise is valid for three semesters (the teaching semester + the two following semesters).
Assessment methods
Written exam (4h). In case of few candidates registered, the examination may be oral. Examination supporting materials during the written exam: non- programmable calculator (definite models decided by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences).
Compulsory work must be submitted within the given deadlines for the course. Approval of the compulsory work is necessary to get admittance to the 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.
