Petroleum Engineering Capstone Design

Catalog description

Integration of petroleum and natural gas engineering concepts to project design. Engineering design by definition is the integration of knowledge and skills acquired through experience, reading and formal instruction into a final product, the design. To that end, this course is the third course of a 3-course, 3-semester, sequence that will result in a comprehensive capstone-engineering project. As such, P N G 492 will utilize the knowledge gained from three semesters of formal instruction to the project design initiated in P N G 490 and continued on in P N G 491. Course material will include the application of spreadsheet programming to petroleum and natural gas project design and its use in project economic analysis and risk analysis. The class will be divided into teams and students will be evaluated on the basis of their contribution to the team effort. All reports and presentations will be presented to the class as a product of the team.
