Basic Reservoir Engineering

Basic Reservoir Engineering

OBJECTIVES

• 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

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

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.
