This module aims to acquire knowledge of how hydrocarbons are extracted from the earth; to understand how hydrocarbon properties are related to pressure and temperature and process equipment affects these properties; to understand single phase and multiphase fluid flow in pipes and to acquire knowledge of upstream processing operations. This module is a comprehensive introduction to Hydrocarbon Production and upstream processing. This includes sections on the extraction of hydrocarbons from the earth, their transport through pipelines and processing. Industrial practice and the theory underlying these operations will be covered.
