Reservoir Engineering for Non-Reservoir Engineers (RES01)

    Description

    This course introduces basic reservoir engineering concepts and methods to enable cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and experience. It provides the required input to help you 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)?

    COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS: MS Office (Excel, Word and Powerpoint)
    Participants are welcome to bring their own laptops with administrator rights for software installation.


    Course Level: Foundation
    Duration: 5 days
    Instructor: Leonhard Ganzer

    Designed for you, if you are...

    • A geoscientist or petroleum engineer with little or no reservoir engineering experience

    How we build your confidence

    • Theoretical concepts illustrated during individual sessions are accompanied by working on practical problems to ensure a thorough understanding of the principles and procedures
    • Hands-on experience by solving classical reservoir engineering tasks on PC

    The benefits from attending

    By the end of the course you will feel confident in your understanding of:

    • Reservoir engineering concepts and terminology
    • Rock and fluid properties relevant for reservoir engineering methods
    • Single- and multi-phase fluid flow through porous media
    • How recovery factors and reserves are being estimated and predicted
    • Reservoir engineering methods to predict reservoir performance

    Topics

    • Introduction to petroleum reservoirs
    • Fluid properties in reservoir engineering - fluid types, phase behaviour, correlations, equations of state
    • 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
    • Displacement efficiency - mobility ratio, Buckley-Leverett
    • Well performance
    • Introduction to transient well test analysis
