Applied Reservoir Engineering and Management: Analysis, Characterization, Simulation, Integration, Statistics and Naturally Fractured Course
Introduction:
The course aims to provide a piece of better knowledge of the different aspects applied in Reservoir Engineering to improve the ultimate hydrocarbon recovery. The course addresses main Reservoir Engineering topics starting from the primary recovery and up to enhanced oil recovery. Both Conventional Reservoir Engineering and Modeling approaches are included. The course will extend to include special topics such as coning control with smart horizontal wells and enhanced oil recovery modeling.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the main aspects applied in Reservoir Engineering
- Raise their knowledge of reservoir fluid characterization and fluid-rock properties
- Be aware of how to calculate the original hydrocarbon in place
- Gain sufficient knowledge of Conventional Reservoir Engineering
- Understand Reservoir Surveillance and Well Test Analysis
