3.00 Credits
This is a multidisciplinary design course that integrates fundamentals and design concepts in geological, geophysical, and petroleum engineering. Students work in integrated teams consisting of students from each of the disciplines. Multiple open-end design problems in oil and gas exploration and field development, including the development of a prospect in an exploration play and a detailed engineering field study, are assigned. Several detailed written and oral presentations are made throughout the semester. Project economics including risk analysis are an integral part of the course. Prerequisites: GP majors: GPGN302 and GPGN303. GE Majors: GEOL308 or GEOL309, GEGN316, GEGN438. PE majors: PEGN316, PEGN414, PEGN422, PEGN423, PEGN424 (or concurrent). 2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
