3.00 Credits
An introduction to well logging methods, including the relationship between measured properties and reservoir properties. Analysis of log suites for reservoir size and content. Graphical and analytical methods will be developed to allow the student to better visualize the reservoir, its contents, and its potential for production. Use of the computer as a tool to handle data, create graphs and log traces, and make computations of reservoir parameters is required. Prerequisite: PEGN308. Co-requisites: PEGN310, GEOL315. 2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Project economics for oil and gas projects under conditions of certainty and uncertainty. Topics include time value of money concepts, discount rate assumptions, measures of project profitability, costs, taxes, expected value concept, decision trees, gambler's ruin, and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Prerequisite: PEGN438/ MNGN438. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Data requirements for reservoir engineering studies. Material balance calculations for normal gas, retrograde gas condensate, solution-gas and gas-cap reservoirs with or without water drive. Primary reservoir performance. Forecasting future recoveries by incremental material balance. Prerequisites: PEGN316, PEGN419 and MACS315 (MACS315 only for non PE majors). 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Reservoir engineering aspects of supplemental recovery processes. Introduction to liquid-liquid displacement processes, gas-liquid displacement processes, and thermal recovery processes. Introduction to numerical reservoir simulation, history matching and forecasting. Prerequisite: PEGN423. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-

-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to elementary probability theory and its applications in engineering and sciences; discrete and continuous probability distributions; parameter estimation; hypothesis testing; linear regression; spatial correlations and geostatistics with emphasis on applications in earth sciences and engineering. Prerequisites: MATH112. 2 hours lecture; 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a multi-disciplinary design course that integrates fundamentals and design concepts in geological, geophysical, and petroleum engineering. Students work in integrated teams from each of the disciplines. Open-ended design problems are assigned including the development of a prospect in an exploration play and a detailed engineering field study. Detailed reports are required for the prospect evaluation and engineering field study. Prerequisite: GE Majors: GEOL309, GEGN438, GEGN316, EPIC 251; PE majors: PEGN316, PEGN414, PEGN422, PEGN423, PEGN424 (or concurrent) GEOL308, EPIC 251; GP Majors: GPGN302 , GPGN303 and EPIC 251. 2 hours lecture; 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Energy Engineering is an overview of energy sources that will be available for use in the 21st century. After discussing the history of energy and its contribution to society, we survey the science and technology of energy, including geothermal energy, fossil energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, wind energy, hydro energy, bio energy, energy and the environment, energy and economics, the hydrogen economy, and energy forecasts. This broad background will give you additional flexibility during your career and help you thrive in an energy industry that is evolving from an industry dominated by fossil fuels to an industry working with many energy sources. Prerequisite: MATH213, PHGN200. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Written and oral presentations by each student on current energy topics. This course is designated as a writing intensive course (WI). Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. 2 hours lecture; 2 semester hours.
