This course is the third in a series following Drilling engineering and Petroleum
Engineering. It aims at providing knowledge about the operation and design of
production systems, that is by focusing on the big picture of the system through
which hydrocarbons travel from the reservoir to the bottom hole, to the wellhead and
eventually to the sales point. It provides the tools and methodology to design a
production system, study and simulate flow in the wellbore, enhance and maximize
production rates, design surface facilities and transport networks while avoiding flow
assurance issues.

Learning Outcomes : Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: - Understand in detail how petroleum fluids are produced from the reservoir to the surface. - Understand the role and distribution of pressure from the reservoir boundary to the separator at the surface, as well as how/why it changes along the fluid path. - Determine the pressure field required to ensure a specific flow rate and for a specific system geometry. - Design artificial lift systems such as gas injection and the use of various types of pumps, surface or submersible. - Recognize and analyze the characteristics of surface processing systems. - Recognize and analyze the risks that can prevent flow in production systems. - Understand and quantify the phenomena occurring during integrated production from multi-well systems. - Collaborate with fellow students for the study and presentation of further specialized scientific topics related to Hydrocarbon Production.
