Operation Field

Introduction to Petroleum Engineering - Operation

The main part of the operation engineering activity is related to operations on wells and operation units, which starts after drilling and from the beginning of well completion. By collecting the necessary information about the production status of wells and analyzing them, the operation engineer takes the necessary measures to increase the efficiency of the design and selection of downhole and wellhead equipment, as well as the method of re-completion of the well, and in cases of necessity, plans reservoir and well stimulation operations.

This undergraduate course is one of the trends in the field of petroleum engineering and is one of the higher technical-engineering courses that aims to train specialists who have the necessary abilities and skills to carry out projects related to optimal methods of exploitation of oil and gas resources.

This course is based on the courses of operation engineering, reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, fluid mechanics, gas dynamics, and thermodynamics.

The role and capabilities of graduates of this field:

Evaluating the production capability of reservoirs and examining the feasibility of the desired exploitation methods
Technical and economic study of reservoirs and their equipment.
Designing and implementing optimal exploitation operations.
Recognizing the characteristics and how to treat a well in various situations.
Justifying and selecting the appropriate method for exploitation and increased extraction according to technical and economic conditions.
Protecting oil and gas resources and providing practical methods to increase the lifespan of these resources.
Investigating and evaluating the effects of exploitation methods on the environment.
Graduates of this course can work in various sectors of production and exploitation in the country and contribute to higher efficiency and productivity of this sector of the industry and play an effective role in solving the problems of production and exploitation of reservoirs.
