Petroleum Engineering 325 Petroleum Production Systems Credit 2: (1-3) Required for Juniors Catalog Description: Introduction to production operations and oil field equipment, multiphase flow in pipes, bottomhole pressure prediction, inflow/outflow performance, production systems and backpressure analysis, hydraulic fracturing fluids and equipment; downhole and artificial lift equipment, tubulars, workover/completion nomenclature and procedures; produced fluids, fluid separation and metering, safety systems, pressure boosting and monitoring. Prerequisites(s): PETE 301, 310, 314; GEOL 404 Instructor: Stuart L. Scott, Associate Professor, Petroleum Engineering Department, RICH 610, (979) 847-8564; SLScott@tamu.edu and other Petroleum Engineering faculty as appropriate. Textbooks Required: Production Optimization Using Nodal Analysis. Beggs, H. Dale, OGCI Publications, Tulsa, 1991; Stimulation Engineering Handbook, Ely, John W., PennWell Publishing Company, Tulsa, 1994. Offshore Multiphase Production Operations, Shippen. M.E. and S.L. Scott (ed.), SPE Reprint Series No. 58 (2004); Petroleum Engineering Handbook, Bradley, H.B., SPE (1992). Topics Covered: The overlying theme of the topics is to follow the flow of fluids from the reservoir/well interface through the well and surface facilities, with emphasis on learning the hardware components and their functions and importance. 1. Reservoir performance as it pertains to well inflow 2. Overview of well hardware and completions—connection of the well to the reservoir and the surface 3. Fundamentals of Single Phase Fluid Flow in Pipe (vertical, horizontal, angled) 4. Multiphase Flow in Pipes 5. Surface equipment—safety valves, chokes, separation and metering 6. Overview of artificial lift methods—rod pump, gas lift, ESP Class/Laboratory Schedule: 1 50-min lecture session & 1 3-hour lab session per week Method of Evaluation: Homework Assignments & Quizzes 15% Classroom, Field Trip, Lab & Workshop Participation 10% Laboratory Reports & Quizzes 25% Examinations (three exams) 50% Total 100% Contributions to Professional Component: Math and Science None Petroleum Engineering Provides students with the vocabulary and hand-on equipment experience to function in the modern oil field.
