    This course introduces reservoir engineers and asset teams to the interactive Petrel reservoir engineering tools to construct and manage simulation models.

    In this course, you will build a 3D simulation model inside Petrel based on geological input data, add wells, and well control rules, create black oil fluid models and rock physics functions, submit the model to the simulators, and modify it (add aquifer, end point scaling, case conversion). Well and completion engineering is introduced. Grid building options for well centric models (simple grid, tartan grids, locals grids, sector models) and global  simulation models (pillar grids and structural grids, upscaling) are discussed.

    The hands-on exercises are structured to enable the trainee apply the software skills obtained during training and cover most of the Petrel simulation workflows. Overall, pre-processing and post-processing of simulation data will be done within the Petrel environment.

    A simulation case study is given at the end of the course to apply most of what you have learned during this course in a more realistic scenario.

    Development and exploration petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers and geoscientists.
