Recommended Prerequisites
Not applicable.
Teaching Methods
Material is delivered through lectures, seminars and practical sessions. It is assessed through two assignments which require writing a report on a practical work. These assignments are followed with feedback prior to the exam at the end of the semester.
Learning Outcomes
This module will give students a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of oilfield chemistry and corrosion. On completion of this module, students should be able to :Explain the properties and application of a range of chemicals used in corrosion control for oil and gasThis module will give students a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of oilfield chemistry and corrosion. On completion of this module, students should be able to : Explain the properties and application of a range of chemicals used in corrosion control for oil and gas industry.
