Dynamic reservoir models are important when investigating reservoir behaviour, optimising reservoir performance, designing complex wells, estimating uncertainties and providing the basis for risk management. New developments, such as unstructured gridding, combined with new simulation techniques eliminate most of the drawbacks of conventional simulation methods and make predictions more reliable. The participants will learn about various algorithms, concepts and possible uses of reservoir simulators. Suitable for: Experienced reservoir engineers

About this course
By the end of the course you will feel more confident in your understanding of:
- Artefacts and the benefits of reservoir simulation
- Different gridding technologies, their advantages and disadvantages
- When reservoir models are fit-for-purpose and when to expect instabilities
- How to perform data quality checks on input data and resulting simulation model
- Different history matching approaches
- Black-oil vs. compositional simulation
- Formulation details in dual porosity / dual permeability models and their consequences
DESIGNED FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE...
- An experienced reservoir engineer
- In possession of basic skills in reservoir engineering and reservoir simulation
- Experienced to some extent in the use of commercial reservoir simulators
Basic skills and experience in reservoir engineering and reservoir simulation. Experienced to some extent in the use of commercial reservoir simulators.
You will be encouraged to engage in discussions on your experience with simulation studies. Best practices and simulation artefacts are explained with examples useful for project work. Exchange among participants during the course is stimulated to optimize the learning event.
We look forward to hearing from you and endeavour to respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible!
