Advanced PVT Simulation Course
Introduction:
This course is concerned with understanding the underlying phase behavior important to the description and modeling of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes, and depletion performance of complex fluid systems.
Course Objectives:
The main objective of the course is how to develop an equation of state (EOS) model from start to finish. We start with the fluid sampling, walk you through different laboratory procedures and go into the details of what is important both before and after EOS model development. The course is designed to be practical, and as a participant, you will be exposed to both real data and actual industry problems.
By the end of the course, you will feel confident to:
- Make decisions about sampling and PVT laboratory procedures required
- Design and use PVT laboratory reports, including those for gas injection studies
- Develop EOS models
