Instructor

Leonhard Ganzer

Course Level: Basic

The objective of reservoir engineering is to optimise hydrocarbon recovery. This course will introduce basic reservoir engineering concepts and methods to enable cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and experience. The course will help to understand 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 will also work practical problems to ensure a thorough understanding of the principles and procedures.

OUTLINE

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, wettability, capillary pressure,
permeability, relative permeability and other concepts
Evaluation and recovery of oil and gas reserves - classification of
reserves, recovery factors, volumetrics of oil and gas reservoirs
Material balance calculations - material balance concept, drive index,
water influx models
Decline curve analysis
Reservoir simulation basics
Introduction to Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is aimed at geoscientists, engineers and managers with little or no reservoir engineering background. It is intended to provide an introductory course in the field of basic reservoir engineering.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
I enjoyed the combination of theory and practical exercises.
Very well presented course, which gave a good introduction into the topic.
