Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering Abu Dhabi

Course details

This training course introduces reservoir engineering concepts and methods to enable cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and experience. It provides the required input to help you understand questions crucial to the reservoir engineer: How much oil & gas is there (accumulation)? How much can be recovered (reserves)? How fast can it be recovered (rate)? By the end of the course, participants will have gained a foundational understanding of reservoir engineering that they can use while moving forward in their training.
This training course will feature:

• Discussions on the role of reservoir engineering in exploration and production as well as how reservoir engineers interact with other disciplines in the Petroleum Industry
• A description of Reservoir rock properties, Darcy's Law and Fundamentals of fluid flow in a porous media.
• A description of Reservoir fluid phase behaviour and reservoir fluid properties
• An Overview of well testing and application of the diffusivity equation
• An outline of different drive mechanisms and discussion of the recovery factors
• Principles of Material Balance and Decline Curve Analysis
• Use of fractional flow equations and Immiscible displacement concepts
• Definition of reserves, estimation of oil and gas in place and Production Forecasts

Who should take this Course?

• Petroleum and Reservoir Engineers who need to determine accurate values of the properties of reservoir gas, oil and water  
• Petro-physicists, Geo-physicists, Geologists and Non - Engineers who work in teams with Petroleum and Reservoir Engineers
