Critical Reading and Writing ,  Spring 2025 

This course will help First Year Engineering students to grow essential English vocabulary, communication and grammatical structures so that they can successfully make conversations and understand English well. Also, the participants will develop writing and listening skills that will enable them to apply those skills in different areas of life. The students will depend on some extra sources to make it more fun. The main focus will be on the learner’s four skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing: Skimming for main ideas and scan for details/key words, Developing reading speed, Building academic vocabulary, Summarizing and paraphrase information in a text, Separate facts from opinions, Writing a paragraph with a topic sentence, support, and concluding sentence, Understanding coherence and cohesion and using them in their writing.

Well Completion and Intervention

The upstream of the petroleum industry involves itself in the business of oil and gas exploration and production activities. While the exploration activities find oil and gas reserves, the production activities deliver oil and gas to the downstream of the industry (i.e., processing plants). The petroleum production is definitely the heart of the petroleum industry. Petroleum production engineering is that part of petroleum engineering that attempts to maximize oil and

gas production in a cost-effective manner. To achieve this objective, production engineers need to have a thorough understanding of the petroleum production systems with which they work. To perform their job correctly, production engineers should have solid background and sound knowledge about the properties of fluids they produce and working principles of all the major components of producing wells and surface facilities.

Enhanced Oil Recovery

To enable the students to understand the basics of oil recovery methods in oil & gas Industry. The subject is enhanced oil recovery (EOR) used to improve recovery beyond that expected by pressure depletion. Water injection, hydrocarbon (HC) gas injection, and combined water/gas injection (WAG) are the most common EOR methods used in the industry today. Other EOR methods (typically more expensive and technically more complicated) covered are non- hydrocarbon (CO2 and N2) injection, compositional effects e.g vaporization, and developed miscibility, both in conventional reservoirs and naturally fractured reservoirs. The course will primarily consider reservoir aspects of EOR methods using HC gas and water injection. Key parameters include microscopic (pore-level) recovery, areal and vertical sweep efficiency. Variations in reservoir rock i.e. heterogeneities and fluid property variations with depth can have a strong influence on the success of EOR methods. Therefore we will concentrate on accurate geologic and fluid description and its influence on recovery.
