Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

In the final project students are undertake a study of a problem applicable to the use of petrophysics and formation evaluation in the petroleum industry.  The project is an extended, independent, self-directed, piece of practical work integrating and reinforcing material taught on the course, and giving a detailed insight into the demands of, and ways of working in the hydrocarbon industry.  Projects are constructed around a current problem a company is facing.  These projects involve original research, and have not been worked on before.  Students will be expected to work on their projects in the offices of their employers.
