What is PEEN3004 about?

The fundamental purpose of subsea systems is to effectively transport well fluids from wellhead to production facilities. To achieve this requires an understanding of fluid properties and how they flow. The topics covered in this unit include petroleum chemistry, hydrocarbon phase behaviour and its prediction using equations of state, single and multiphase fluids flow, gas hydrates, flow measurements and metering techniques, oil and gas flow threats and remediation techniques.
