This unit provides students with advanced knowledge and skills for cost-effective production optimisation by various techniques and treatments that are carried out in the reservoir and in the production line in oil and gas production engineering. It includes formation damage in production system and stimulation techniques for recovery enhancement. Topics include a review of hydrocarbon production estimation; prevention and removal of formation damage; hydraulic fracture design and optimisation; matrix acidising; acid fracturing; in situ combustion; enhanced recovery; and preventing deposition of mineral scales, paraffins and asphaltenes in subsurface and surface systems.<br/><br/>In... -- Course Website
