Course Overview
"Petroleum Production Engineering" is one of the core courses required for petroleum engineering students. This course starts from the reservoir characteristics and learns the flow laws of oil wells, flowing wells, gas lift, rod pumps, water injection, hydraulic fracturing, acidification, etc., so that students can master the basic theories and technical principles of various oil production processes. Familiar with the engineering background, cultivate students' ability to analyze and solve practical oil recovery engineering problems, and have the basic skills in process design, production management and scientific research in the field of petroleum production engineering.
Teaching objectives
