Project Brief

Module Code: PTRL29H02/ EAX_6_292

Title: Surface Production Facilities

Introduction
The student will be able apply their understanding of oil
and gas processing operations to design optimal process
for separation design, dehydration, water treatment and
evacuating crude oil and gas on both land and offshore.
The student will be able to assess the impact of these
technologies on petroleum production economics.

Amini design project assessed through a technical report.

This technical report carries 30% of the total mark and
assesses Learning outcomes of the following:-

1- Computational modeling of oil and gas processing,

storage and transportation.
2. Evaluate procedures to ensure successful and
efficient operations.
3. Identify appropriate technologies to optimize
economic products modify plans for future
markets in the gas industry.
General Guidelines

1- Technical report not to exceed 5000 words.

2- Lecture review should include references.
3- Real case study from gas & oil Companies.
4- Use the updated soft ware’s in fields.
5- Identify actual problems and solutions.
6- Data and information’s should be related to actual
data form industry
7- Group of each technical report not exceed four
students.
8- Oral presentation, five minutes for each student.
9- Technical report follows the writing procedures
according BUE policies.

Specific Requirements

1- Choose suitable design and economic for gas

plants.
2- Each student has to transfer his knowledge
with group.
3- Team work of each group has to specify
special issue to present it.
4- Data from fields should be not old and
convey actual recent data.
5- Case study from Egyptian oil field not from
outside Egypt.
 6- Each group has to submit mini project in week ten
2017.
