Flow of oil, gas, chemicals, and water, whether separately or multiphase, and whether downhole or on the surface, is a critical process in the oil and gas industry, and therefore flow assurance is a top priority. Challenges in flow assurance have significant impact on the cost, reliability, and safety of oil and gas operations, and have financial implications estimated at billions of dollars annually. This interdisciplinary program provides students with the advanced knowledge and essential skills in flow assurance that are highly sought after in the job market for career growth and professional impact.
This program provides students with the knowledge needed to understand and model the multiphase transport of fluids. It covers oilfield chemistry, multiphase flow (flow regime maps, concentration distributions, multiphase pipe systems design, etc.), natural gas hydrates (structure, stability, kinetic theories for hydrate nucleation, formation risk, prevention, etc.), surface production facilities (oil/water/gas facility design, production systems, computer simulation, etc.), and corrosion science and engineering (e.g. electrochemical thermodynamics and kinetics, inhibition, passivity, protection, pitting). The program also covers essential tools such as computational fluid dynamics (discretization, numerical approximations, finite difference, finite volume, etc.), modeling of petroleum and petrochemical fluids (characterization, phase behavior, retrograde condensation, solubility in polymers, etc.), and advanced engineering economics (e.g. inflation, depreciation, taxes, cost estimation, sensitivity analysis, risk and uncertainty, capital budgeting, multi-attribute decision making, advanced asset replacement analysis).
