This paper concerns the planning, construction, implementation, and integration of new state-of-the-art teaching laboratories for Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University at Qatar, a new international campus in the Middle East.

The results are seven laboratories designed to teach and support seven topics covered under the university curriculum for Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University. The laboratories were designed and built for the new campus in Doha, Qatar, to instruct the student in team programs and cover the following topics:

  1. Geology (both general and advance reservoir characterization)

  2. Core Petrophysics

  3. Fluid and Gas PVT Properties

  4. Drilling Systems

  5. Production (to include fluid measurement in up to three phases)

  6. Well Control (to include construction and implementation of a drilling rig floor for simulation)

  7. 3-D Simulation Room for Reservoir Characterization
