PEEG 497 Senior Design Project I
Comprehensive and team-based field development and design experience in petroleum engineering. SDP-I has two modules. Module-1 covers reservoir characterization and evaluation based on given geological, geophysical, and well test data. Module-2 covers well drilling and completion design. SDP II has three modules. Module-3 covers reservoir management & surveillance strategies. Module 4 covers the design of the Oil & Gas processing facility and Module 5 covers project economics, HSE, and risk analysis. This course provides an opportunity to exercise initiatives, engineering judgment, self-reliance, and creativity, in a team environment similar to the E&P industry. The projects require students to use engineering standards and realistic constraints in their design process, develop suitable criteria for equipment selection based on their acquired engineering skills, experience, and other pertinent resources, and perform a comprehensive economic analysis, with due consideration to the issues relating to safety and ethics in oilfieldoperations.
