Contribution to ABET Professional Program Criteria ABET Professional Program Criteria are statements describing competencies that students must possess by the time of graduation. This course contributes to the following Program Specific Criteria.

Program Specific Criteria 1 Our alumni become competent petroleum engineering professionals 2 Our alumni are able to analyze and design engineering systems, understand the associated uncertainties, and evaluate the economic, environmental, and social impacts 3 Our alumni are able to synthesize inputs from various sources, apply multidisciplinary fundamentals and articulate technical concepts

Relationship to Program Outcomes Program outcomes describe what students are expected to know or be able to do by the time of graduation from the Program. This course contributes to the following Program outcomes. a b Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, e.g. derivation of diffusivity
equation, determining O/W contacts, use of material balance to determine reserves.

Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, e.g. pressure transient analysis. e Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, e.g. determination of water influx. Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering k practice, e.g. use of commercial well test software. Obtain basic knowledge of design principles in each area of petroleum engineering drilling, l production and reservoir and cognizance of their interdependence, e.g. well inflow performance.

Contribution to Program Professional Component and to Design Component Course material and projects in this course use the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering principles to analyze the performance of hydrocarbon reservoirs. This course contributes to the Program Professional Component by providing a connection between the basic sciences, mathematics and engineering principles from previous courses and the process of engineering design, preparing the student for the engineering practice in the area of reservoir engineering.

Person Responsible for Course Syllabus This syllabus was prepared by Randy Hazlett in August 2013.

Fall 2013 Information Instructor: Randy D. Hazlett, PhD Associate Professor, Petroleum Engineering E-mail: Randy-Hazlett@UTulsa.edu Stephenson 2270, ext 2695 Class Hours: MW 2:00 3:15 at KEP M8 Office Hours: MTW 10-11 or by appointment Grading: Your weighted average grade will be calculated as follows: Participation 10% Project 15% Quizzes 25% Midterm 25% Final Exam 25% Homework is optional. Late work is not accepted. When given, quizzes will be at the beginning of the class period. No unexcused makeup quizzes will be given. Quiz absences must be excused. Grades will be posted on Harvey. All work must be original and performed individually except when directed by the instructor. Any changes to the syllabus, including the grading system, will be appear on Harvey with notification to all students. Students must earn their participation grade through attendance, class preparation, class interaction, and online forum participation. Final Exam: Saturday, December 14, 2013 POLICY ON ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT The policy in this class on academic misconduct will follow that stated in:

Policies and Procedures Relating to Academic Misconduct in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Any action by the instructor on a specific instance of alleged academic misconduct can be appealed by the student involved to the Review Board for Cases of Academic Misconduct if he/she so desires. Any student detected cheating on an examination will receive a grade of zero on the examination for the first offense and a grade of F will be given for the course if there is a second offense. If another student is involved in the offense knowingly, he will receive the same penalty. Any student detected copying homework, or allowing his or her homework to be copied, will receive a zero grade for that homework. Repeated offenses will result in an F grade in the course. In the event that the instructor awards an F grade in the course because of academic misconduct, he will so notify the Review Board and will recommend to them that if the student has been involved in similar cases that the student be dismissed from the University.

POLICY ON ABSENCES

Although attendance is not required, it is clear that attendance is desirable because of routine in-class quizzes and information conveyed during lectures possibly not included in online documentation, posted as a courtesy. Furthermore, class discussion of assigned work enhances a student's understanding. In case of a final grade that is borderline, attendance will be considered. Absence at examination time is excusable only in case of illness of the student or a similar emergency. A written doctor's statement is necessary in case of an illness that requires makeup of an exam. An unexcused absence from an exam will result in a zero grade on that exam.
