Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
1 Understand key aspects of formation damage in different processes of oil production. 2 Explain reservoir physics of main formation damage mechanisms. 3 Describe the purpose of damage removal, prevention and mitigation, of well stimulation. 4 Understand the concepts and equipment required for water management in onshore and offshore developments. 5 Analysis of mathematical models for formation damage in different processes of oil production (waterflooding, pressure depletion, EOR). 6 Describe the applicability of different mathematical models of formation damage. 7 Explain the process and importance of injected water treatment. 8 Utilise knowledge of formation damage reservoir physics in design of damage-free oil production technologies. 9 Describe processes associated with formation damage in injection and production wells and its uses in exploration and production. 10 Apply a critical-thinking and problem-solving approach towards the principles of damage-free oil production technologies.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
Provision of Feedback to Students
The assessment will be returned to students within two weeks of their submission. The detailed analysis of exercises will follow each test.
Communication
It is important that all students maintain active communication channels throughout the year. The primary communication channels to students in this course are as follows.
MyUni: Students should regularly check the MyUni website (http://myuni.adelaide.edu.au/).
Email: Each student should regularly check his or her University-provided email account (firstname.lastname@student.adelaide.edu.au) for information from members of the academic staff concerning course work matters and other announcements as they arise. Make sure you clean up your Inbox regularly as if it is full you will not receive our email! We will regard an email message being sent to your student email address or an announcement posted on the MyUni site as our having communicated with each member of the class. Not reading one’s University provided email or MyUni announcements will not be a valid excuse for missing important deadlines -

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
