Description
SUITABLE:
Geoscientists and engineers with little or no reservoir engineering background.
OBJECTIVES:
By the end of the course, delegates will:
- Have understanding of questions crucial to the reservoir engineer: How much oil & gas is there (accumulation)? How much can be recovered (reserves)? How fast can it be recovered (rate)? The participants
- Know how to optimise hydrocarbon recovery.
SUMMARY:
- Introduction to the physics of petroleum reservoirs
- Concepts of fluid flow through porous media
- Fluid properties in reservoir engineering fluid types, phase behaviour, correlations, equations of state
- Fundamental rock properties – porosity, wet ability, capillary pressure, permeability, relative permeability and other concepts
- Evaluation and recovery of oil and gas reserves
- Material balance calculations
- Oil-water displacement
- Well performance
- Introduction to transient well test analysis
