Introduction to Petroleum Engineering: origin and migration of petroleum, petroleum traps, petroleum reservoirs, petroleum exploration methods, properties of petroleum fluids, properties of reservoir rocks, drilling operations, production operations (primary and enhanced recovery), estimation of petroleum reserves, importance of petroleum industry in Kuwait economy, effects of petroleum operations on the environment, comparison of petroleum with other forms of energy , Kuwait oil fields, petroleum production in the Arab countries and the world.

Origin and accumulation of hydrocarbon fluids. Major properties of reservoir rocks and fluids. Major components of drilling rig. Identify the petroleum industry in Kuwait.

Measurement of rock properties and interpretation of petrophysical parameters, interaction of residents fluids with rocks, application of petrophysics to reservoir engineering problems.

This is an introduction to the basic phenomena and principles of fluid mechanics with petroleum engineering applications. The course covers fluid statics, conservation of mass, momentum and mechanical energy.

This course introduces students to the principles of engineering design in a broad context. The course then provides students with the opportunity to apply these principles for designing simple petroleum engineering systems. Some emphasis will be on communication skills and on computer tools that can support the design process.

Origin of petroleum fluids, identify the different types of reservoir fluids and reservoir traps, petroleum exploration methods, familiarize the student with the properties of petroleum reservoir fluids, properties of reservoir rocks, types of oil and gas accumulations, familiarize the student with different methods of drilling a well, components of drilling rig, methods of oil production, calculation of oil in place, famous oil fields in Kuwait.

Discussion of various petroleum industry processes, identify types of reservoir exploration methods, recognize the properties of reservoir rocks and petroleum fluids, describe oil and gas production facilities downstream and upstream of the well choke, identify petroleum products, describe the handling, transportation, and marketing of petroleum products.

Measurement of rock petrophysical properties such as porosity, permeability, saturation, capillary pressure and electrical resistivity of fluid saturated rocks.

Phase behavior of pure substances, two-component and multi-component mixtures, phase behavior classification of oil and gas reservoirs, gas condensates, retrograde phenomena.

Classification of reservoirs by type and recovery mechanism, reserve and production rate estimate based on material balance, acquifer modeling and water influx calculation methods.

Properties of fluid-saturated rocks. Steady state and transient fluid flow in porous reservoir rocks as applied to petroleum engineering.
