African Energy Outlook is a course to inform the students regarding the energy geopolitics of the African continent. Presence of petroleum and natural gas, current production levels, opportunities and threats will be delivered.
The objective of this course is basically to
provide the students with a solid and improved knowledge in both the classical
and modern theories of both reservoir simulation and the modelling thereof. In
this respect, partial differential equations related with fluid
flow in porous media as well as the use of the finite-difference equations in
solving reservoir flow problems for various boundary conditions will also be
introduced in detail within the scope of the course. Also, the fundamentals of
petroleum reservoir simulation and modelling will also be on the agenda of the
course. The students will also be supplied with real life worked examples in
relation to reservoir simulation and modelling.
Energy and energy resources are among the most important feedstocks of economic development, national security and welfare.
Oil and natural gas (together) provides 55% of the primary energy the world consumes (as of end 2023). TUnderstanding the geographic distribution of crude oil and natural gas reserves is vitally important for every engineer working on energy related concepts and especially for petroleum and natural gas engineers. Together with the geographic distribution, how much hydrocarbon each country produces, how much they consume, the international trade, evolution of prices are also significantly important parameters to better understand the world events. All the wars (World War 1 and 2, as well as the ongoing proxy wars are wars for capturing and controling the energy resources, their transportation routes and trade. Every engineer should have scientific and updated information on these subjects.

Within the scope of the course, environmental problems at oil well sites will be discussed in detail, and emphasis will be placed on
the type and level of toxicity of the contaminating inputs during drilling operations. Both on-shore and off-shore well sites will be on
the agenda of the course. Oil spills that are highly probable at well sites, in addition to the hazardous chemicals contained in mud
ponds and probable spills will be the basic topics to be covered along with adequate precaution methods and removal
methodologies. Oil and gas storage areas and probable spills on land and at sea will also be covered.
