Offshore Oil and Gas Engineering
Established in the year of 2011, Offshore Oil Engineering is a new branch of discipline based on civil engineering, to serve the domestic energy situation. In the future, it would be an undoubted trend to develop the ocean due to the fact that it owes more than 70% of the global oil and gas resources. Also, the strategy of promoting the marine economy and developing the offshore oil resource has been pointed out in the national twelfth ‘five-year plan’. Obviously, it is imperative to strengthen the offshore oil and gas development in order to implement the national resource strategy and ensure the national energy security. Predictably, he direction of offshore oil and gas would flourish, resulting in great needs of professionals of that field.
Offshore Oil Engineering mainly focuses on the structure and design of the marine structure and the exploitation and application of the ocean space and resource. Featuring in offshore oil and gas resource development, the Offshore Oil Engineering in CUP is one of the first offshore oil and gas engineering with characters of petroleum. It includes offshore oil and gas drilling and production, marine engineering and marine oil and gas gathering and transportation.
Objectives
To train senior engineering and technical professionals to adapt with the needs of socialistic modernization, especially to be equipped with the basic technique of modern offshore oil and gas engineering design, research, construction and management, the ability of computer programming and application, in order to practice seabed resource exploitation and management, design, research, production, test, use, management of marine structure and scientific research.
Core Courses
General geology, Engineering Mechanics, Flow Mechanics in Porous Media, Introduction to Mechanical Design, Fluid Mechanics, Offshore Platform Structure Design, Offshore Oil and Gas Production Engineering, Offshore Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Completion, Offshore Petroleum Equipment, Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation Engineering.

Course Description
Mechanical Drawing
Introduce and familiarize students with orthographic projection representation method of point, line, surface, stereo; projection representation method of stereo and plane intersection, stereo and stereo intersection; the basic cartographic knowledge and related cartographic standards; combination body cartographic and dimensioning; projection representation method of machinery parts; cartographic method of standard Parts (thread, button, pin) and the common parts (gear); Parts drawings expression, dimensioning, the technical requirements on part drawings; the basic content, cartographic method of assembly drawing, and the methods of reading assembly drawing.
Theoretical Mechanics
Theoretical mechanics consists of statics, kinematics, and dynamics. From learning it , students should comprehend basic conceptions , theories and methods, be able to analyze the forces of simple bodies(particle, a system of particles, rigid body, a system of rigid bodies), be able to analyze the motions and establish the equations of equilibrium and the equations of motion, be able to solve simple equations. We should cultivate the students the abilities to dig out questions from mechanics phenomena and practical engineering and to solve problems with knowledges that they have learned both by qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis.
Mechanics of Materials
Mechanics of materials are the basic skills which connect the basic theories and practical designing. By learning mechanics of materials, we can get the students have a clear conception of strength problems, basic knowledge, skillful numerical methods including computer–aid calculations and basic ability to analyze the experiments in practical engineering.
Petrophysics
This is a compulsory course for petroleum engineering program.It mainly introuces the properties of the rock(porosity,permeability,condensation,surface area to volume ratio,saturation),reservior fluid(the chemical properties of the hydrocarbon fluid,the phase state of the reservoir and its variation,the phase equilibrium,the separation of the oil-gas,the high pressure properties,the type of the formation waterand its high pressure properties, gas hydrate) and study the fluid mechanism in porous medium(interface phenomena,wettability,capillary force,relative permeability).
Fluid Mechanics
Engineering Fluid Mechanics is an important core course for the students majored in Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation. This course is intended to provide a basic introduction to the principles of fluid mechanics and its engineering application. This course can lay a good foundation for the study of specialty courses in subsequent years. The course mainly includes Fluid statics, Fluid kinematics, Fluid dynamics, Dimensional analysis and similitude, Viscous fluid flow, Flow in pressure conduits and discharge of orifice and nipple, Plane flow of ideal incompressible fluid, Aerodynamics and Non-Newtonian fluid. By the end of this course it is to be expected that the students will have acquired an understanding of the concepts and principles and have following basic skills: (1) Evaluate the magnitude and direction of hydrostatic forces on planar and simple curved surfaces; (2) Properly use Bernoulli equation, Continuity Equation and momentum equation to determine flow speeds or pressures; (3) Employ Buckingham Pi theorem to determine the dimensionless groups; (4) Evaluate head loss of pipe flow and analyze pipes in series and pipes in parallel；(5) Analyze one-dimensional simple compressible flow；(6) Use specially designed laboratory apparatuses to investigate simple flow phenomenon and write experimental reports independently. A sum of 80 teaching hours is allotted to the course, in which 70 hours are for lectures and the rest 10 hours are for laboratory experiments. Mid-semester Test (2 hours) and End of Semester Examination (2 hours) are to be taken for the assessment.
Offshore Systems and Facilities for Petroleum Gathering and Treating
“Offshore Systems and Facilities for Petroleum Gathering and Treating” is one of electives for the students majoring in oil & gas transportation and storage engineering, which involves introduction; oceanic environments; offshore systems, facilities and process flows of oil and gas gathering and treating; offshore production platform and subsea production systems; multiphase flow of oil and gas; structural design and installation of subsea pipeline; oil and gas offshore storage and tanker transportation; safety and environmental protection; utilities systems and supervisory and control systems of petroleum production; commissioning and operations of offshore petroleum production systems.
