Reservoir Engineering for Non-Reservoir Engineers (RES01)

This course is also available as ONLINE session. Click here.

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)?

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
