Synopsis

In this module you will gain an understanding of the systems analysis approach to model the transport of oil from upstream reservoir to downstream stock tank. You will explore Darcy’s law, inflow performance predictions, single-phase flow and multi-phase flow in pipes and restrictions, and the use of total system analysis… For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning Strategy

In this module the learners will engage in a blend of delivery methods facilitating both individual and collaborative aspects of learning to achieve the specified learning outcomes. In particular, this will require the learner to engage with the VLE content, including extensive pre-recorded teaching and support materials, where the learning… For more content click the Read More button below.
