The college has roots going back to the introduction of Brigham Young Academy, but its more official beginning occurred when the first dean, Harvey Fletcher, organized the engineering program at BYU in 1952. This was the department of engineering science that, at the time, was part of the BYU College of Arts and Sciences.
DOGGR – Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (former name of California's regulatory entity for oil, gas, and geothermal production) DOPH – drilled-out plugged hole; DOWRE – downhole report; DP – drill pipe; DP – dynamic positioning; DPDV – dynamically positioned drilling vessel; DPL – dual propagation log
Petroleum production engineering is a subset of petroleum engineering. Petroleum production engineers design and select subsurface equipment to produce oil and gas well fluids . [ 1 ] They often are degreed as petroleum engineers , although they may come from other technical disciplines (e.g., mechanical engineering , chemical engineering ...
Completion engineers (also known as subsurface engineers) work to design and oversee the implementation of techniques aimed at ensuring wells are drilled stably and with the maximum opportunity for oil and gas production. Production engineers manage the interface between the reservoir and the well, including perforations, sand control, downhole ...
An FPSO is a floating production system that receives fluids (crude oil, water and a host of other things) from a subsea reservoir through risers, which then separate fluids into crude oil, natural gas, water and impurities within the topsides production facilities on board. Crude oil stored in the storage tanks of the FPSO is offloaded onto ...
The job of a Subsurface Engineer is to effectively select equipment that will best suit the subsurface environment in order to best produce the hydrocarbon reserves. Once the hardware has been selected, a Subsurface Engineer will monitor and adjust the equipment to ensure the well and reservoir produces under ideal circumstances.
Metallurgical and Materials (new specifications and design standards for the 2015 exams) Mining and Mineral Processing; Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering; Nuclear; Petroleum; Structural [5] (with design standards for the 2015 exams) Unlike the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, outside reference sources are allowed for the PE Exam.
The history of the SPE began well before its actual establishment. During the decade after the 1901 discovery of the Spindletop field, the American Institute of Mining Engineers saw a growing need for a forum in the booming new field of petroleum engineering. As a result, AIME formed a standing committee on oil and gas in 1913.
