No specific textbook is recommended. However, a list of suggested references follows. Materials drawn from various texts and technical papers will be presented.

Most materials will be provided through “MyUni” and handouts during the lecture.

1. ‘Casing Design Theory and Practice’ by Rahman and Chilingarian, 1995
2. ‘Petroleum Production System’ by Economides, et al. 1994
3. ‘Well Completion and Servicing’ by Dennis Perrin, 1995

The course will be available through MyUni site ''

It will provide valuable resources and course information, such as announcements, lecture material, assignments, discussion boards, etc. The material will be released over the semester, and the course will be made available from the start of the semester.

Students are expected to check their Uni emails and check the announcements frequently on MyUni site.

Lectures are supported by solved examples, problem-solving tutorials, and real case studies.

Online learning is also available through MyUni.

The standard undergraduate workload for a full-time student is 48 hours per week which equates to approximately 12 hours per 3 unit course. The workload associated to this course involves 5 hrs of lectures and tutorials per week. You would be expected to spend an approximately twice the number of hours outside class-revising notes, reading more widely about the topics covered, practicing examples, finishing exercises, homework etc. The University Learning and Teaching Committee has recently agreed that 3 unit courses are required to have a minimum workload of 150 hours regardless of the length of the course.

You will be advised of the date, time and location for physical submission of all assignments during class or through MyUni

Submission of Work for Assessment
Practical class exercises should be submitted in hardcopy with a completed copy of the assessment coversheet that is available from the school office. This should be signed to indicate you have read the university policy statement on plagiarism, collusion and related forms of cheating.

Extensions for Assessment Tasks
Extensions of deadlines for assessment tasks may be allowed for reasonable causes. Such situations would include compassionate and medical grounds of the severity that would justify the awarding of a supplementary examination. Evidence for the grounds must be provided when an extension is requested. Students are required to apply for an extension to the Course Co-ordinator or lecturer before the assessment task is due. Extensions will not be provided on the grounds of poor prioritising of time.

Penalty for Late Submission of Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks must be submitted by the stated deadlines. There will be a penalty for late submission of assessment tasks. The submitted work will be marked ‘without prejudice’ and 10% of the obtained mark will be deducted for each working day (or part of a day) that an assessment task is late, up to a maximum penalty of 50% of the mark attained. The Course Co-ordinator or lecturer / examiner may elect not to accept any assessment task that a student wants to submit after that task has been marked and feedback provided to the rest of the class.

Provision of Feedback to Students
Feedback will be provided to students within four weeks of a test and assignments submission.
