Petroleum Reservoir Engineering

Course Description

This two-week course represents the core of reservoir engineering and the foundation for all future studies in this subject. An in-depth and detailed engineering practices ranging from fluid and rock properties to simulation and field development planning are presented. Reservoir engineering is also presented in the context of a modern, multidisciplinary team effort using supporting computer technology. An extensive manual and set of references is included.

What You’ll Learn From This Course

This course is intended to provide an understanding of the fundamental
principles of petroleum reservoir engineering.

• Course participants will examine:

  o Methods to calculate hydrocarbons initially in place (HIIP)
  o Dynamic techniques to assess reservoir performance
  o Parameters that impact well/reservoir performance over time
  o Well testing principles and techniques
  o Aquifer characterisation
  o Reservoir drive mechanisms for both oil and gas reservoirs
  o Reservoir simulation techniques
  o Oil and gas field development planning principles
  o Forecasting production decline
  o Enhanced oil recovery processes
