Title:           RESERVOIR ENGINEERING FOR NON-RESERVOIR ENGINEERS
Start Date: 25 September 2023,   End Date: 29 September 2023
Fee: $5,250
Venue:        Dubai, UAE

In any of the 5 star hotels. The exact venue will be informed once finalized.

This Five-day course is designed for professionals who work with, or rely on, analyses provided by reservoir engineers, or who otherwise need to understand and communicate with them on a technical or commercial basis. Those who would benefit from this course include geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, facility and operations engineers, drilling and production engineers, pipeline engineers, and economic/business analysts. The course provides an understanding of the underlying value and limitations of the analyses provided by reservoir engineers, as well as a better understanding of the required data and assumptions involved in the practice of reservoir engineering. Participants will obtain an understanding of routine reservoir engineering calculations, the data required to perform these calculations, the primary tools and techniques used by reservoir engineers, and the information gained by the application of those techniques. The limitations of the extrapolation of the results to the decision making process will also be covered. Throughout the course, the impact of the data, assumptions and technical limitations are related to the economic impact they have on reservoir management.

Objective

At the end of the training, the participants will be able to:

Learn how reservoir engineers assess the value of an asset
Understand the physics of petroleum reservoirs
Learn how primary reserves are estimated based on production and reservoir pressure data
Understand how evaluation and recovery of oil and gas reserves is done (classification of reserves, recovery factors, volumetric of oil and gas reservoirs)
Learn how well and reservoir performance are characterized using pressure transient data
Learn how flow simulation is used to forecast production
Know concepts of fluid flow through porous media
Know fluid properties in reservoir engineering (fluid types, phase behaviour, correlations, and equations of state)
Gain knowledge of fundamental rock properties (porosity, wettability, capillary pressure, permeability, relative permeability and other concepts)
Know how material balance calculations is performed (material balance concept, drive index, water influx models)
Know about decline curve analysis
Understand reservoir simulation basics
Know about enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods
Facilitate communication between reservoir engineers and geoscientists

Audience

Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists, Facility and Operations Engineers, Drilling and Production Engineers, Pipeline Engineers, and Economic/Business analysts.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.
Very useful Course Materials will be given.
