Basic Course Description:
This five-day course is a comprehensive and up-to-date course is intended for novice geologists and petroleum engineers. As such, it reviews basic concepts, introduces common reservoir analysis techniques and surveys additional reservoir engineering application.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Reservoir and geologists and petroleum engineers and geologists, petrophysicists, and others involved in maximizing reservoir recovery, identifying reservoir problems, or planning work-over operations.
The following topics are covered in detail:
Reservoir Fluid Properties:
gas Z factor; gas solubility in oil and water; oil and water formation volume factor; reservoir fluid compressibility; reservoir fluid viscosity; determination of fluid properties.
Reservoir Rock Properties:
porosity; fluid saturation; permeability; compressibility; rock properties from core analysis; rock properties from well logs.
Hydrocarbon Reserves:
Volumetric Method; structural contour maps; isopach maps; bulk and pore volumes; oil and gas in place; reserves and recovery factors.
Hydrocarbon Reserves:
Material Balance Equation; reservoir types; general material balance equation; reduced forms of the material balance equation; graphical solution of the material balance equation; water influx; pressure maintenance.
Reservoir Fluid Low:
Classification of flow systems; Darcy's law and its applications; treatment of permeability variations; productivity index; diffusivity equation and its applications.
Pressure and Flow Tests:
Pressure build up test; pressure drawdown test; gas well testing; production forecasting for gas wells.
Displacement of Oil by Water:
General concepts; Piston displacement mechanism; Buckley-Leverett displacement mechanism; displacement efficiency
