Applied Reservoir Engineering-Fundamentals

This course covers the fundamentals, with a primary reservoir characterization aspect and their potential impact on reservoir flow dynamics. Participants will learn reservoir engineering based on the application of qualitative as well as applied analytical techniques.

Learning Outcomes

Key reservoir engineering concepts such as reservoir drive mechanisms, volumetrics, petroleum fluid properties and recovery factors will be introduced as tools.

One third of the course will be “practical and projects", which includes exercises, and group discussions.

Participants will be given a brief introduction to the course and what they can expect.

During this day fundamentals of reservoir phase behavior and fluid flow will be discussed. Participants will also be introduced to Darcy’s Law.

Participants will learn decline curve analysis and material balance concepts. They will also be discussing the principles of well testing during this day. Participants will also learn about the development of the diffusivity equation and how to use it.

Audience:

Course is designed for geologists, geophysicists, Petrophysicists working in exploration and exploitation.

Other students and professionals pursuing engineering, applied math and other physical sciences are encouraged to apply.

Total Duration:

PDHs: 25 Hours (2.5 CEUs)- 2 weeks
