Exploration of Petrophysics for International Petroleum Engineering Students

Abstract

With the socio-economic development and rising international status of China, an increasing number of international students are choosing to pursue their studies in the country. Education for international students in China plays a critical role in promoting people-to-people exchanges and friendship between China and other nations, as well as enhancing the global influence of China’s higher education. Petroleum engineering is one of the most popular majors among international students. As a fundamental compulsory course in petroleum engineering, Petrophysics plays a significant role in laying the professional knowledge foundation for international students. By analyzing the existing issues in the teaching of Petrophysics for international petroleum engineering students in Chinese universities, this paper explores reform measures to develop a teaching framework tailored to international students. These measures include strengthening the development of an international teaching faculty, constructing comprehensive teaching resources, utilizing modern online teaching assistance tools, and improving teaching management. This research provides valuable insights for enhancing the quality of petroleum engineering education for international students in China.
