Reservoir Engineering for Non-Reservoir Engineers (RES01)
- To be announced for 2019
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)?

Designed for you, if you are...
- A geoscientist or 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:- Single- and multi-phase fluid flow through porous media
- Fluid phase properties during hydrocarbon recovery
- Reservoir engineering concepts and terminology
- How recovery factors and reserves are being estimated and predicted
- Typical assumptions and simplifications required to predict reservoir performance

Customer Feedback
"Very well structured course using examples to illustrate the different methods, solution-oriented; understandable also if you have not been working a lot with Reservoir Engineering before." - Petrophysicist at RAG"Dr. Ganzer delivered the course content in a perfect pace. Everything was easy to understand and will be helpful in my job." - Geologist at Wintershall
"The instructor's way to present is outstandingly good. His ability to explain things and answer questions is simply excellent. The organisation of topics is very good and the content is excellently fitting to the title and subject of the course." - Lead Petrophysicist at OMV Tunisia
