Courses

This basic reservoir engineering course was designed to develop a complete understanding of the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs in its participants.  This course will cover fluid and rock characteristics through reservoir definition, delineation, classification, the development plan, and production.

Data collection and application directed toward maximizing recovery will be stressed throughout the duration of this course.  Basic reservoir engineering equations will be introduced with an emphasis directed at parameter significance and an understanding of the results.  Emphasis will also be placed on the fundamentals of fluid flow in porous media, how reservoirs are characterized by fluid type and drive mechanisms, and the basis for reservoir fluid distribution.  Oil and gas well performance and pressure buildup analysis, oil displacement and optimizing reservoir performance, the basics of enhanced oil recovery, and how Oil-In-Place and Gas-In-Place can be estimated and recovery predicted will also be covered.

This course’s purpose will be to develop an in-depth understanding of the technology and its applications in participants.  With this understanding participants will have enhanced confidence, professional enthusiasm, and productivity.
