INTRODUCTION

Laboratory course is intended for students majoring in petroleum
engineering (the direction of training 6.050301 “Mining”, the

speciality “Oil and gas production”) and it is a practical manual
at the study of discipline “Oil and gas mechanics” and also for
the students of other specialities studying the disciplines

“Development and exploitation of oil and gas fields”, “Exploitation
of oil and gas wells” and others.
Laboratory course consists of 12 laboratory experiments. Each
laboratory experiment includes the objective of the experiment;

description of the devices, equipment and reagents; definitions,
procedure and calculations. All laboratory experiments are based on
the equipment which is available in the laboratories of the department

of development and exploitation of oil and gas fields (the laboratory
of physics of oil and gas formation).
Conducting the laboratory experiments on this discipline is

very important part of the study and mastering the corresponding
theoretical divisions of the discipline. The student should prepare
the report of each of the experiment, learn the definitions and work

out the checking questions. After getting admittance the students are
allowed to begin conducting the laboratory experiment under the
supervision of the teacher or the laboratory assistant. After
calculations and drawing the conclusion the students must defend the

laboratory experiment.
