HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE (NORTHEAST CAMPUS) MISSION STATEMENT:

Houston Community College will be the most relevant community college in the country We will be the opportunity institution for every student we serve – essential to our community’s

success

WELCOME:

We welcome each of you to a semester of intricate study based upon an industry and data-related inquiry of the salient and functional features of the oil and gas industry Each student should be prepared to exit this course with a more expanded view of this industry than when they first entered Scholarship and class participation in all of its aspects is the key and that is

what will be expected There is no recording of classes either audio or video without consent

of instructor or the Disability Services Office.

Course Description: A study of the petroleum industry will be undertaken from the data

management perspective A review of current knowledge and technical aspects of the oil and gas industry will be reviewed with regard to the various operational functionalities of Well Completions under various wellbore conditions

Prerequisites: None; Microsoft Office suite will be used for Projects and Team

presentations Students are expected to be able to use Microsoft Word and Powerpoint

Course Goals: Students will be able to understand the basic tools and terminology

used in upstream operations Students will work in teams to gather facts and information on key data used to deliver projects during

exploration and production Students are expected to make use of the information gathered in teams and class to comprehend text book and current event subjects relevant to well completions

Students will be able to understand the technical aspects and the process of completing oil and gas well from a systematic and pragmatically point of view, speak more responsibly in the industry, college, on work teams in order to perform the designated and various tasks needed in the oil and gas industry Students will be able to identify key terminology and units for gathering data in the field for upstream activities

Student

Survey: Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System

At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction The anonymous results of the survey will

be made available to your professor and division chair for continual improvement of instruction Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term

Portfolios, Service

Learning Internships, etc A minimum of Four (individual) Projects (100 Points each) will

be assigned during this semester Team projects are assigned

at least once a month
