Navigating the Intersection of Petroleum and the Environment

The petroleum industry is a major part of the global economy. It provides the energy that powers our cars, homes, and businesses. However, the industry also has a significant impact on the environment. Our Introduction to Petroleum Engineering and Exploration course will explore the intersection of petroleum and the environment. It will discuss the environmental impact of the industry and the challenges of developing and producing oil and gas sustainably. The Introduction to Petroleum Engineering and Exploration course will also explore the future of energy and the role of the petroleum industry in a sustainable energy future.

Learning Outcomes

• Gain fundamental knowledge of petroleum geology and reservoir dynamics.
• Understand the intricacies of drilling contracts, rig crew and the drilling process.
• Develop a comprehension of well intervention and flow in well tubing.
• Acquire insights into the environmental impact of petroleum operations.
• Explore future energy trends and the role of petroleum in that context.
• Appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of petroleum engineering, combining scientific principles, environmental considerations and economic implications.

This course opens a door into the fascinating petroleum world, beginning with a comprehensive introduction that lays a robust foundation. Next, you'll delve into petroleum geology and discover reservoir rock and fluid complexities. Next, practical knowledge of reservoir engineering for oil and gas reservoirs, as well as flow in good tubing and healthy intervention, will be gained. The latter part of the course offers a deep understanding of drilling contracts, rig crew, the drilling rig, and its systems and processes.

Critical environmental issues linked to petroleum are a central focus of this course. It concludes with a thoughtful exploration of future energy trends, including the evolving role of petroleum within this landscape. This curriculum offers a balanced perspective on petroleum engineering and environmental stewardship.
