Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

 

The main strategy for delivering this module is to encourage students' active participation in exercises while refining and expanding their critical thinking skills. This will be achieved through a combination of classes, interactive tutorials, and engaging experiments involving sampling activities that capture the students' interest.

 

The course begins with an introduction to Reservoir Engineering, covering topics such as the types of reservoirs and a review of reservoir rock and fluid properties. Students will also learn about the concept of reserves and the classification of reserves.

 

The estimation of original oil and gas in place by volumetric methods will be explored, focusing on undersaturated reservoirs and saturated reservoirs with gas caps. The calculation of recovery factors and understanding different fluid pressure regimes will be covered.

 

Steady-state flow through porous media will be discussed, including the types of fluids and flow regimes. Linear flow of incompressible, slightly compressible, and compressible fluids, as well as radial flow, will be examined.

 

The course will also cover unsteady-state flow in porous media, including linear and radial flow of slightly compressible and compressible fluids. Students will learn about the diffusivity equation, its solutions, and the concept of pseudo steady-state flow.

 

Through interactive classes, tutorials, and hands-on experiments, students will be actively engaged in applying the learned concepts, honing their critical thinking skills, and deepening their understanding of reservoir engineering principles. The inclusion of practical experiments and sampling activities will provide students with a tangible and engaging learning experience, enhancing their comprehension and retention of the course material.

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.
