Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering – A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Disciplines: Reservoir
Course Description
This course is a cross-disciplinary training opportunity for the various subsurface professionals working in the upstream oil and gas industry. The attendees will learn the reservoir engineering principles with emphasis on collaboration and integration among the various disciplines. Participants will learn multi-disciplinary reservoir characterization through PVT data, resource evaluation through geological and engineering data, reservoir drive mechanisms and production optimization. The concepts being taught will be enforced with actual field examples.
Topics covered:
- Resource evaluation
- Volumetric analysis
- Material Balance and hydrocarbons-in-place through production data
- Drive mechanisms
- PVT properties,
- Liquids-rich gas behavior
Learning Level
Introductory to Intermediate
Course Length
1 Day
Why Attend
