PEEG 447 Production Engineering

This course utilizes the Total System Analysis technique for the design and performance analysis of the production system starting from the reservoir through the wellbore to the production separator. Topics include inflow performance relationships (IPR), vertical lift performance (VLP) for multiphase flow in vertical and inclined pipes, overall well performance evaluation considering various nodes within the production system. Artificial lift techniques of gas lift and electrical submersible pumps (ESP) are also taught. The course also includes surface production facilities for handling and separation of oil, gas, and water.
