All of the required documentation are included in the Competency Demonstration Study Sample for Petroleum Engineer, including Three Career Episodes, Continuing Professional Development, and a Summary Statement. The following is the content of the Petroleum Engineer CDR Report Sample:

1st Episode of a Career as a Petroleum Engineer

Project Name: “Two related methods for using palm oil effluent as biogas were simulated and evaluated: Perspectives on Structural, Technical, and Economic Issues”

In the first episode of his career, the protagonist mentions a project he worked on as a Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering student (Honors). This episode of his career is focused on his project, “Simulation and Evaluation of Two Separate Strategies for Using Palm Oil Effluent as Biogas: Structural, Technical, and Economic Perspective.” The author’s duties at the time were as follows:

• He conducted a thorough literature review and compiled a list of his findings
• He used the HYSYS programme to simulate various processes.
• In the HYSYS setting, he simulated a gas turbine and SOFC device for electricity generation.
• He analysed both systems’ strategic aspects and tailored them for maximum efficiency.
• He looked at the economic output of both schemes and determined which one was more feasible from an economic standpoint.

2nd Episode Report on a Petroleum Engineer’s Career

Project Name: “HYSYS: Operator Training Simulator was used to design, build, and analyse a complex model of a crude oil distillation column.”

The author describes the engineering skills he used as a Bachelor Student in Petroleum Engineering in the second career episode (Honors). His roles and duties in the project “Designing, production, and study of a dynamic model of crude oil distillation column in HYSYS: Operator Training Simulator” during this period were as follows:

• He did a survey of the papers that were important to my project on the design and study of crude distillation columns.
• He and my project boss addressed the general outline of OTS and came up with an issue statement.
• On the basis of the problem statement, he developed the analysis approach and explained the nature of my thesis.
• He reviewed the study priorities with my boss and then began working on the project according to the pre-planned research approach after receiving his approval.
• For simulation, he used Aspen HYSYS V10 software, and for graphical user interface creation, he used Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.

3rd Episode Report on a Petroleum Engineer’s Career

Project Name: “Developing A Palm Oil Effluent Power Plant”

The author describes the engineering skills he used as a Bachelor Student in Petroleum Engineering in the third career episode (Honors). His roles and duties in the project “Designing A Palm Oil Effluent Based Power Plant” during this period were as follows:

• He divided the duties between my teammates and me.
• He included an overview of the mechanism and facilities such that each participant could perform the assigned tasks in a systematic manner.
• He outlined the requirements for each operation and piece of equipment.
• He incorporated all of the requisite equipment for the whole system to operate smoothly.
• He went through the work of my colleagues and made any possible adjustments as required.

Summary Statement by a Petroleum Engineer

The author presents all of the competency elements needed for a Professional Petroleum Engineer in his overview statement. As discussed in the Engineers Australia migration skills appraisal booklet, the overview statement contains cross references to the related paragraphs of the episodes. His Summary Statement complies fully with Engineers Australia’s current specifications.

Continuing Professional Development for Petroleum Engineers

Professional classes, non-professional courses, and private research are all part of the CPD. The author’s Petroleum Engineering knowledge is explicitly explained in the CPD Sample.
