Fundamentals of Reservoir Management
Details :
This course
will address all the principles of reservoir management. The reservoir
management process with integrated concept, role of reservoir simulation in
reservoir management and importance of reservoir surveillance and monitoring
for the whole reservoir management process will be discussed. The significance
of the production optimization process in addition to the economics evaluation
will be incorporated. The course covers all aspects related to hydrocarbon
recovery methods starting from the primary recovery and up to enhanced oil
recovery. The course will focus on different aspects of reservoir management
applications for new reservoirs, matured reservoirs, reservoir with small gas
caps, reservoir with huge gas caps, thin oil rims, reservoirs with new infill
opportunities and fractured reservoirs.
