Masterlandsbyen 2008 - Course Description


Adapted from International Master's Programmes 2008-2009


TPG5200 Petroleum Engineering and Geoscience, Interdisciplinary Project

Content
The groups will be assigned realistic data from selected oil and gas provinces in the North Sea. The specific content of the project will be defined by the students on basis of a task defined by the industrial partner. To solve the task we have access to oil field data, and to engineering tools used by the industry. At the end of the project, the groups will make a formal presentation of the report for a panel of Professors.

Learning outcome
Students will develop knowledge and expertice across traditional disciplines within exploration and production of oil and gas through a realistic project work. Students will be organized in groups, with students from petroleum geoscience and petroleum engineering.

Learning methods and activities
Project work 100%

Recommended previous knowledge
Third semester of the international MSc program in petroleum engineering and petroleum geoscience. Fourth and fifth year exchange students are welcome as well.

Course materials
Description of objectives, required data and references will be handed out.
