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 datarelated 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.
Course Description:
A study of the petroleum industry will be undertaken from the
reservoir engineering perspective. The current knowledge and
technical aspects of the oil and gas industry will be taught with
regard to the various operational functionalities as outlined in the
course content.
Prerequisites:
As per department.
Course Goals:
Students will be able to understand the theory and practice applied
in reservoir engineering in the petroleum industry; and make
conclusions. Students will be able to 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.

As necessary
"Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical,
learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to
arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the
Disability Services Office at the respective college at the
beginning of each semester. Faculty is authorized to provide
only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support
Services Office." For questions, contact Donna Price at 713718-5165 or the Disability Counselor at each college. Also visit
the ADA web site at:
http://www.hccs.edu/students/disability/index.htm.
Faculty Handbook/Faculty Orientation is also available at
http://www.hccs.edu/students/disability/faculty.htm.
A lecture format is used and the employment of power point
slides and handouts will supplement the material where
needed. A more practical and basic format of explanation will
be employed so that the student will be able to obtain a basic
understanding of how information is utilized in the oil and gas
industry. Students are encouraged to ask questions and will be
expected to participate in class. It is therefore important for
each student to read the assignments and come prepared to
participate. If you miss a class you will be responsible to
getting the information missed.

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.
