The courses MOT320, ÅMA150, MPE180 and MPExxx Res.Sim.Intro. constitute 20
study points (sp) of fundamental topics. The remaining courses during the
first year are common to all the three specializations of Drilling
Technology, Production Technology, and Reservoir Engineering that are
available in the third semester.

Advanced topics in Drilling Technology comprises four courses:

MPExxx Drilling Technology 1    5     Bernt Aadnøy (coordinator)
MPExxx Drilling Technology 2    5     Bernt Aadnøy (coordinator)
MPExxx Drilling Technology 3    5     Bernt Aadnøy (coordinator)
MPExxx Drilling Technology 4    5     Bernt Aadnøy (coordinator)


Prior to the start of the Fall semester, the Departement of Petroleum
Engineering will specify what courses are to be taught as part of Advanced
topics in Drilling Technology. The selection depends on the lecturers
available and the current research programs. Examples are MPE300
Underbalanced Drilling, MPE190 Well Intervention, MPE200 Dynamic Loading
of Equipment. All topics are to be established and defined in the course
catalogue.
