Description
This unit covers the process of oil and gas production from hydrocarbon reservoirs. It is a core unit of the petroleum engineering discipline in which students will study production mechanisms from different types of reservoirs and learn techniques for optimising oil and gas production.
Prerequisite Rule
must have passed ENS5566
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
- Explain onshore and offshore production systems and specify the required operational parameters for a production facility.
- Analyse production data and apply the techniques for optimisation of petroleum production systems.
- Specify logging requirements and undertake a production performance evaluation.
- Calculate pressure losses during the production process.
- Choose proper well stimulation techniques based on rock/fluid properties, production data and well construction.
- Classify artificial lift techniques and select the most appropriate one to improve well productivity according to the reservoir condition.
- Explain techniques for "sand production control" and "down hole completion".
Unit Content
- Petroleum production systems and downhole completion.
- Production mechanisms from different types of reservoirs.
- Well inflow/outflow performance analysis.
- Near wellbore condition and damage characterisation.
- Well deliverability.
- Well stimulation.
- Wellhead and surface gathering systems.
Learning Experience
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

Assessment
GS1 GRADING SCHEMA 1 Used for standard coursework units
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant Board of Examiners.
Due to the professional competency skill development associated with this Unit, student attendance/participation within listed in-class activities and/or online activities including discussion boards is compulsory. Students failing to meet participation standards as outlined in the unit plan may be awarded an I Grade (Fail - incomplete). Students who are unable to meet this requirement for medical or other reasons must seek the approval of the unit coordinator.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Academic Misconduct
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
- plagiarism;
- unauthorised collaboration;
- cheating in examinations;
- theft of other students' work;
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
