ONLINE: Reservoir Management & Monitoring (RES932)

To be announced for 2024

Description

This course gives you a better understanding of well & reservoir management and provides best practice examples how to manage your reservoir optimally to achieve a higher recovery factor.

Course Structure: 15 modules of 1½ hours each, delivered over 5 days
Each day will consist of 3 modules of 1½ hours, incl. a 15 min break.

Course Level: Skill
Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Emina Buket Ulker

Designed for you, if you are...

A reservoir or petroleum engineer or a geoscientist responsible for the day-to-day management of reservoirs to improve their performance

The course can be given at any level depending on the audience’s experience.

How we build your confidence

Power point presentations
Interactive exercises

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

Awareness of how to increase the asset value
Applying the principles of sound reservoir management: How to plan field development and monitor reservoir performance
Using the interdisciplinary collaboration to efficient reservoir management
The importance of timing and cost vs. benefit analysis

Topics

What do we mean by Reservoir Management?

Course objectives
Definition of Reservoir Management (RM)
Concept of RM
RM technology shift
The importance of teamwork
Sources and acquisition of reservoir data

What is new in Reservoir Management?

Reservoir Management Process

The ultimate objective: Increase the value of assets
Possible targets - optimise / maximise / accelerate production, reduce cost, decrease risks, contingency plans, flexibility
Planning a field development - What are the key elements?
Monitoring well / reservoir performance
Evaluating results by comparison of actual performance against prediction

The Technology Toolkit: Understanding the Reservoir

Static and Dynamic Modelling: Review of available systems, selection on the methodology and software
The importance of technical and technological competency
Integration of geological, geophysical and engineering data
Describing the reservoir: The static model
Describing the reservoir behaviour: The dynamic model and reservoir simulation
Reservoir surveillance: Monitoring performance and analysing the data, QC the reservoir understanding by actual well behaviour
Setting reservoir for predictions
Infill wells / sidetracks - where to drill?
Well production / injection rates?

Recovery Methods

Maximise value through ultimate recovery and improved recovery

Adding Economic Value (optional)

Techniques to maximise economic recovery, cost vs. benefit, bbl/$
Minimising CAPEX, OPEX and risk
Net cash flow
How timing will affect the value
Investment decision
Project selection and revision
