Module Learning Outcomes

 

مخرجات التعلم للمادة الدراسية

After studying this course, the learners will be able to: -

1. Define and develop equations for fluid flow in porous media and to

solve the governing equations to determine reservoir properties by

well testing.

2. Discuss various techniques of pressure transient and well

deliverability testing with application.

3. Design and execute a well test and interpret well test data to

estimate reservoir and well bore properties.

4. Justify the limitations of well test interpretation.

5. Use relevant software for analysis and estimations

Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

 

The main strategy for delivering this module is to foster active student participation and enhance their critical thinking skills. This will be accomplished through a combination of classes, interactive tutorials, and engaging exercises. Emphasis will be placed on encouraging students to actively engage with the course material and apply their knowledge to practical scenarios. Additionally, the inclusion of simulations and computer lab activities will make the learning experience more interactive and relatable to the students. By adopting this approach, students will have the opportunity to refine and expand their critical thinking abilities while actively participating in their own learning process.

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.
