 Module Objectives

أهداف المادة الدراسية

 

The objective of this class is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of crude oils and their properties, including chemical composition, classification, density, viscosity, vapor pressure, heat characteristics, evaluation methods, fractional distillation, analysis of fractions, dehydration, natural gas properties, and oilfield water properties.

 

Module Learning Outcomes

 

مخرجات التعلم للمادة الدراسية

  1. Understand the chemical composition, classification, and properties of crude oils, including density, specific gravity, and coefficient of expansion.
  2. Comprehend the factors affecting viscosity, molecular weight, vapor pressure, specific heat, latent heat, boiling range, flash point, pour point, sulfur content, aniline point, and penetration number of crude oils.
  3. Gain knowledge of crude oil evaluation techniques and the significance of fractional distillation and TBP (True Boiling Point) curves in analyzing crude oil fractions.
  4. Develop an understanding of the processes involved in the dehydration of crude oil and the properties of natural gas and oilfield water.
  5. Apply acquired knowledge to evaluate and analyze crude oil samples and make informed decisions based on their properties.
  6. Enhance problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities in the context of crude oil analysis and evaluation.

Note: Marks Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy NOT to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the automatic rounding outlined above.
