Module Objectives أهداف المادة الدراسية
|
The objectives of this class are to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the properties and characteristics of reservoir rocks and the relevant measurements associated with them. By the end of the course, students will be able to define and measure porosity, understand the complexities of porosity in different porous media, define and measure saturations and permeability, analyze the effects of Klinkenberg and Darcy's law on permeability and flow rates, comprehend the concept of relative permeability and its correlations, evaluate capillary pressure and interfacial tension in relation to wettability, measure wettability, understand the formation resistivity/conductivity and its implications, analyze compressibility and pressure gradients, and explore geothermal gradients. The class aims to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively evaluate and analyze reservoir rocks and their properties for petroleum exploration and production.

Module Learning Outcomes
مخرجات التعلم للمادة الدراسية |
Upon completion of this class, students will achieve the following learning outcomes:
Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the different types of reservoir rocks and their properties. Apply appropriate methods for measuring porosity, saturations, permeability, and capillary pressure. Analyze and interpret data related to porosity, permeability, and relative permeability for reservoir characterization. Understand the concepts of wettability and interfacial tension and their effects on fluid flow in porous media. Evaluate the formation resistivity, conductivity, and pressure gradients in reservoirs. Demonstrate proficiency in analyzing and interpreting data related to geothermal gradients. Apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations and make informed decisions in the field of petroleum exploration and production.
Through the achievement of these learning outcomes, students will develop a solid foundation in the properties and behaviors of reservoir rocks, enabling them to contribute effectively to the petroleum industry and related fields. |

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. |
