Objectives and Content
Objectives:
The course shall give a knowledge on how oil and gas are formed, found, produced, transported and processed
Content:
The course consists of two parts. The petroleum technology part describes basic geology, hydrocarbon systems, introduction to petroleum exploration, fluid flow properties of oil and gas and production technology. The process technology includes gas processing, transport, instrumentation, process safety and multiphase technology. Excursions to Hydro Sandsli, Mongstad og Kollsnes
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
The student has gained knowledge about
· basic geology, hydrocarbon systems, petroleum exploration, production technology and the flow properties of oil and gas in a porous medium
· the transport and processing facilities for oil and gas, with an emphasis on instrumentation, multi-phase, separation and safety technology
Skills
The student can solve problems related to
· estimate the hydrocarbon content and the production capacity of a reservoir by using a simple analytical reservoir model
· solve simple problems related to pipe flow (Bernulli equation) and heat transfer
General competence
The student has gained
- increased ability for reflection and insight in how physics is used in oil- and gasproduction
- knowledge of value for other fields of the natural sciences
- training in systematic work and how to analyse complex problems
