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
drilling and production data management perspective. The current
knowledge and technical aspects of the oil and gas industry will be
taught with regards to the course content.
Prerequisites:
None
Course Goals:
Students will be able to understand the theory and applications of
drilling technologies and related drilling data; look at the data and
make conclusions. This is In addition to understanding the formation
and reservoir theory and data requirements for production that
occurs after drilling. Students will be able to speak more responsibly
