Basic Reservoir Engineering

Basic Reservoir Engineering
  • Overview
  • Registration
Introduction

Basic Reservoir Engineering is a course designed to help the participants develop a more complete understanding of the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, from fluid and rock characteristics through reservoir definition, delineation, classification, development, and production. Data collection, integration, and application directed toward maximizing recovery and Net Present Value are stressed. Basic reservoir engineering equations are introduced with emphasis directed to parameter significance and an understanding of the results.


Goals

Participants will learn:

  • How to collect and analyze the data needed for reservoir engineering tasks.
  • The fundamentals of fluid flow in porous media.
  • How reservoirs are characterized by fluid type and drive mechanisms.
  • The basis for reservoir fluid distribution.
  • About oil and gas well performance and pressure buildup analysis.
  • About oil displacement and optimizing reservoir performance.
  • The basics of enhanced oil recovery.
  • How oil and gas in place can be estimated and recovery predicted.


Target Groups

Geologists, geophysicists, engineers, engineering trainees, technical managers, technical assistants, technicians, chemists, physicists, technical supervisors, service company personnel, sales representatives, data processing personnel, and support staff working with reservoir engineers and wanting to understand the process of reservoir definition, development, and production, or engineers newly placed in a reservoir engineering position that want a first reservoir engineering course at the Basic level.
