Smooth petroleum production requires an understanding of all technical disciplines in facility design and their deliverables as well as of specific new technologies. Competent facilities engineering is needed from concept selection to commissioning and maintenance.
Facilities engineering course focuses on equipment and systems from the well head to the delivery point of the oil and gas industry. This includes not only the processing of the oil and gas but the support systems which might include water treatment, power generation and pollution abatement.

The course provides detailed knowledge and understanding of the major hardware used for the safe operation in oil and gas industry. This course also covers treatment of liquids and gases to get these to export quality and to enable the safe disposal of waste products.
At the end of the course, students will understand common practices and new technology developments in facilities engineering. They will acquire general knowledge about pressure vessels, pumps, heaters, heater exchangers, compressors, boilers, engines, gas turbines, pumps, control systems and electrical systems. Flow measurement, storage systems and transportation used for export purposes also discuss in this course.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1st attempt: 1 three-hour examination (70%) and continuous assessment (30%).
Resit: The re-sit will comprise of re-doing the failed
element/s (exam and/or coursework assessment/s) from the 1st attempt
with a maximum CGS mark of D3. The marks for other elements (successfully
passed) will be carried over. Resit mark of either RP or RF will be recorded.
There are no assessments for this course.
The course includes a workgroup exercise on assessment of essays. Students must sit a mock exam in-class. Students receive individual, written feedback on their coursework. We also provide whole-class feedback via MyAberdeen. We also put model answers/mark schemes for all coursework and the mock exams on MyAberdeen to give students the chance to self-assess their own performance.
