Drilling Fluid

Drilling Eng. (1) PET (324)

Drilling Eng. (2) PET (415)

The Drilling Fluid Lab is one of the most important labs of the Petroleum Engineering Department. Some experiments that are conducted in the lab are the following: preparation of spud mud, measuring the density of  drilling fluid by mud balance, measuring the time viscosity via marsh funnel, sand content of the mud, Electrical stability, plastic viscosity measurement, yield point, and gel strength, viscosity measurement at low temperature, and pH of the drilling fluid.

Reservoir Rocks Properties

Reservoir Rock Properties PET (222)

Reservoir Eng. 1 PET (325)

EOR PET (424)

The lab is one of the most important labs of the Department of Petroleum Engineering, through which many of the experiments are conducted.  The students learn the properties of rocks in the oil reservoir that contains hydrocarbons (oil + gas).

Experiments that are carried out by students in the lab are the following:

Calculation of rock porosity, saturation, relative permeability of rocks, capillary pressure, and seismic survey.

Geology

Geophysics PET (323)

Petroleum Geology PET (322)

This Lab contains several types of rocks so that the student knows about these rocks and their types, how they are formed, and the designs of strata.
