Colloids and Interfaces in Petroleum Engineering

3 credits · Graduate

This course examines the fundamental principles in colloidal and interfacial systems, with particular emphasis on their applications in petroleum engineering. The first part of the course covers the theories of colloidal stability, interfaces, and surfactant solutions. These principles are then applied to analyze drilling- fluid design and enhanced oil recovery. PREREQUISITES: CHEE 3530 or permission of instructor FORMATS: Lecture | Tutorial
