Summary
Basic physical properties of reservoir rocks and fluids and methods of their
determination, technique and technology of the oil and gas production, natural
flow production, compressor production, artificial lift methods, reservoir
energy and its rational utilization, inflow intensification, secondary and
tertiary production methods, hydrocarbon collecting, transportation and
processing, underground well repair, methane production by use of surface
coalbed methane exploitation, production activity and its environmetal impact.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to teach students to characterise, describe and clarify principles used for the selection of equipment and technologies for hydrocarbon mining in individual specific deposits. For this purpose, to be able to made the analysis of data obtained by exploratory work, pumping tests and well logging. Then to be able to evaluate this information from the point of view of its importance to the rational utilisation of sources of reservoir energy and to the design of optimal method of mining, including the application of subsequent secondary or tertiary methods. On the basis of knowledge obtained students must be then able to do also the critical analysis of possible impacts of mining operations on the surrounding environment.
