Lesson 3 is very extensive, and you will have two weeks to read through the lesson and complete the associated assignments. Please use your time wisely and don't let yourself fall behind; you will need the extra week to work your way effectively through the material.
Please refer to the Calendar in Canvas for specific time frames and due dates.
Petroleum engineers working in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry must perform their analyses on the known properties of the reservoirs and reservoir fluids associated with the oil and gas fields they are tasked to manage. The properties that these petroleum professionals are most likely to use during their careers are:
These data are required for most routine calculations and are typically obtained with field or laboratory measurements. In cases where these data are unavailable due to time or cost constraints, industry accepted correlations are available for generating missing data. For detailed analyses, measured data are preferred; however, data from correlations serve a vital role of generating data for quick, low cost analyses. In this lesson, we will discuss the data used in petroleum engineering analyses. We will discuss what data are available, how the data are used in the field, how the data are measured in the field or laboratory, and what correlations are available to supplement missing data.
By the end of this lesson you should be able to:
