Fundamentals of fluid mechanics: physical properties of fluid, continuity equation and Bernoulli equation. Historical development and description of oil and gas pipeline systems. Basic elements of oil pipeline systems: oil wells, pipes, reservoirs, oil production plants, pump stations, heating stations, pig oil pipeline stations, corrosion oil pipeline protection stations, oil regulating and metering stations, oil pipeline telemetry and oil consumers. Basic elements of gas pipeline systems: gas wells, pipes, reservoirs, gas production plants, underground gas storages, compressor stations, gas regulating and metering stations, pig gas pipeline stations, corrosion protection gas pipeline stations, gas pipeline telemetry and gas consumers.

Teaching is done with modern didactic means and methods, interactively in the form of lectures, laboratory and computational exercises. In addition to lectures and exercises, consultations are also regularly held. The lectures present the theoretical part of the material accompanied by characteristic examples for easier understanding of the subject matter. Students practically apply acquired knowledge during laboratory exercises by using of available laboratory equipments.
