Course
Specialised Project in Petroleum Engineering (PET931)
Geochemistry is usually defined as the study of the distribution of the chemical elements and their isotopes throughout the earth. The study of geochemistry is therefore of vital importance within groundwater pollution, basin modeling, and mining. In this course special attention will be paid to the application of geochemistry within petroleum technology, in particular with respect to understand rock fluid interactions. Chemical interactions between water and rock influence the wetting state of the rock, the rock mechanical strength, and ultimately the final recovery of oil and gas from the reservoir. Students attending this course will be encouraged to analyze their own data with the help of geochemical models.

Content
The topic will be decided on an individual basis and depends on the field of specialization of the PhD student. The project topic may be a subfield of one or several of the following disciplines. Also subfields of these disciplines, or disciplines related to investment and decision analysis that are not mentioned here are possible:
Project or portfolio evaluation, investment evaluation, decision analysis, uncertainty modeling, cognitive challenges related to decision making, and the application of geostatistics for decision support

| Project work and oral presentation | 1/1 | Passed / Not Passed | — | 01.11.2014 | — |
The student has to write a report and give an oral presentation on the same topic. In agreement with the student, the supervisor of the PhD student defines the topic at the beginning of the course. The report may, e. g., be an internal report or a congress abstract. The oral presentation accordingly may be official or unofficial (with or without audience). The decision for this and for the length and structure of the report and for the oral presentation is taken by the supervisor.
The final grade will be based on the quality of the report and the oral presentation. The two parts will count for 50 % each of the final grade, unless a different percentage distribution is agreed upon with the supervisor at the beginning of the course.
