Field Trips
Participants in our Energy Fundamentals course will visit two campus facilities as part of their learning experience. These trips to the PERTT Lab and the 海角社区 Cogeneration Plant offer a chance to see energy systems in action. Both facilities are within easy reach of our main course location and showcase different aspects of energy production and research.
The PERTT Lab visit is scheduled for:
Session 1: June 24, 2025 (Tuesday) 鈥� 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Session 2: July 8, 2025 (Tuesday) 鈥� 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The 海角社区 Cogeneration Plant visit is scheduled for:
Session 1: June 26, 2025 (Thursday) 鈥� 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Session 2: July 10, 2025 (Thursday) 鈥� 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
海角社区 PERTT Lab
The 海角社区 Petroleum Engineering Research, Training and Testing (PERTT) Lab is an industrial-scale
facility, having full-scale equipment and instrumentation for conducting research
related to petroleum technology. The lab is on campus across Nicholson Drive from
the course auditorium
PERTT Lab includes legacy oil and gas wells used for training and testing and will be the site of a new CO2 injection well to be drilled within the next year. The facilities are used for all aspects of training in drilling operations, safety and blowout prevention, as well as industrial-scale testing of instrumentation and new technologies.

海角社区 Cogeneration Facility
海角社区 has a 20 MW cogeneration facility on campus walking distance from the course auditorium. Cogeneration (also known as Combined Heat and Power, or CHP) is the simultaneous production of heat and electrical power.
The 海角社区 system is composed of an aeroderivative gas turbine (GE LM-2000) connected to a generator and a HRSG (called Boiler 8) composed of an evaporator and economizer. The power and steam produced are used for campus needs.
The tour includes examination of the gas turbine, steam turbines, boilers, heat exchangers, compressors, chillers, distribution systems and cooling towers.
