PETROENG 7059 - Reservoir Engineering VII

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2016

The course information on this page is being finalised for 2016. Please check again before classes commence.

Introduction and overview to reservoir engineering, including aspects of multidisciplinary team work, is followed by explaining the nature of reservoirs and hydrocarbons. Reservoir specific formation properties, among these pressure and temperature, are covered, followed by conventional and special (SCAL) properties, including averaging of these and leading up to preparation of input to reservoir simulation. Fluid properties (oil, gas and water), their determination and correlation, are covered in detail, including laboratory aspects. The description and characterisation of rock/formation properties and fluids is followed by the mechanisms that describe fluid flow and mass balance in the reservoir, commencing with Darcy's law and well performance. After overviewing drive mechanisms and the range of applicable recovery factors, the general material balance (Havlena-Odeh) and aquifer response are covered in detail, as well as various fluid displacement calculations, including coning and cusping. Finally, a number of case histories are presented to show application of reservoir engineering to specific field development situations.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
