Reservoir engineering for Non-Reservoir Engineers

The Course

Reservoir Engineering is a combination of science, engineering and art by which you

could define recoverable reserves and predict future reservoir performance. It is of a
great importance to the technical and economic evaluation of the oil and gas reserves
and the selection of the optimum method of recovery. Without detailed evaluation of
reservoir data, understanding reservoir behavior and applying good reservoir management
techniques, significant quantities of oil and gas could be permanently lost beyond any
recovery method.

This course is exceptionally useful if you want to develop a feel for hydrocarbon
behavior in the reservoir and of various recovery methods. It will also provide you with
specific ad direct application of the process used in reservoir engineering and will

reserves

The Delegates:

The course is designed for Petroleum Engineers, Geologists, Geophysicists, Math. &
Science Graduates, Operation Personnel and Technicians as well as recently graduated
reservoir engineers.

The Goals:

The Primary Objectives of the Course are to obtain sufficient knowledge about:

• Reservoir types, classification, properties, etc.

• Critical properties of reservoir rocks and fluids and PVT relationships

• The fundamentals of fluid flow in porous media

• How reservoirs are characterized by fluid type and drive mechanisms

• The basis for reservoir fluid distribution

• Oil and gas well performance and transient test analysis

• The basics of primary, secondary and enhanced oil recovery methods

• Methods to calculate oil and gas in place and hydrocarbons recovery

• Reservoir drive mechanisms for both Oil and Gas reservoirs

• Reservoir simulation techniques

• Forecasting production decline

• Get a general feel for petroleum economics in reservoir development & risk analysis

The Process:

The course will include a number of exercises aimed at enhancing each participant
capability to conduct various reservoir engineering problems and knowledge about the
fundamentals of reservoir engineering.

Additionally, the seminar assumes no or limited prior knowledge of the topics covered in
the course. New concepts and tools are introduced gradually to enable delegates to
progress from the fundamental to the advanced concepts of reservoir engineering

The Benefits:

The delegates will develop subsurface skills for integrated analysis of rocks, pore and
fluids and to solve problems associated with identifying and exploiting reserves. They
will understand various methods applied to predict reservoir performance and to enhance
recovery

The Results:

This 5 day course will provide an insight the classical methods of reservoir engineering.
It represents the foundation for reservoir engineering practices ranging from fluid and
rock properties to reservoir simulation and field development economics.
