The course was given the first time in this format. No prior actions were necessary.

Marketing of the course was done when the corona situation was unclear. Because of that it was decided to offer the course digitally through video lectures and digitally followed practical assignments. The practical assignments were originally designed for the course with personal attendance. Since it was more challenging to follow them up through digital meetings, to keep the high quality of the course, it was decided not to push marketing to reach 15 participants as originally planned, but to stay at 10 registered participants.  Evaluation10 registered participants, 9 completed the course, 6 took the exam, 4 passed. The main challenge related to the course was a very diverse group of participants with very different backgrounds and interests. This also explains the wide spread in the evaluation feedback. In the future, even though this may be challenging for an EVU course, an effort should be made to arrange the participants in groups with relatively similar backgrounds, interests and needs. This will significantly simplify the work of the lecturers. 7 participants answered an anonymous course evaluation form. Here are the results:1. Overall course evaluation (scale 1-5): 4.14 (5,5,5,5,4,3,2)2. To what extent were your expectations met at the course?Exceeded expectations – 1, Fully – 4, Fairly – 1  3. What I have learned will have ______ for my work. Significant value – 4; Some value – 2; Low value – 1 4. Would you recommend this course to your colleagues?Yes – 5, No – 1 Several participants indicated that the digital form was very convenient. Recordings of the lectures were made available after the lectures. That was also positively received by the participants.

The same course was delivered earlier this year to participants from one company: AkerBP. Since that group had similar backgrounds, and interests, their evaluation of the course was more uniform and even more positive -- see the attachment. That course, however, was also delivered in person, which helped the lecturers to follow up with the participants.

Faglig innhold

Traditional education in petroleum engineering does not provide enough information on digitalization and automation technologies. Sufficient background in these disciplines can enable petroleum engineers and decision makers to recognize novel possibilities for digitalization in their responsibility areas, to communicate efficiently with developers/vendors of such technologies, to accept, use and get the most value out of these new technologies, to evaluate their business impact, and to identify and mitigate corresponding risks. This course aims at filling in this gap for (petroleum) engineers, researchers and decision makers. The following topics are covered in the course with the focus on digital/automation technologies in the oil and gas industry:<ul><li>Automation and digitalization in oil and gas industry.</li><li>Elements of digital/automation technologies. Hierarchy of automation systems.</li><li>Models in well construction and hydrocarbons production.</li><li>Design and tuning of automatic control systems.</li><li>Principles of advanced process control.</li><li>Introduction to data analytics/decision support systems.</li><li>Systems engineering for digital and automation systems.</li><li>Risk evaluation and mitigation. Safety systems.</li><li>Business case evaluation.</li></ul>

Kursmateriell

Lecture notes, selected papers and publications.

Læringsutbytte

The objective is to turn petroleum engineers and decision makers into educated and efficient users of digital and automation technologies, understanding their foundations, benefits and limitations. After completing the course, the participants should be able to identify areas for potential applications of automation and digital technologies in upstream oil and gas industry, suggest an appropriate type of digital/automation technology, critically review its implementation and operation plans, identify risks and risk mitigating actions and evaluate its business impact.
