Reservoir Engineering for Other Disciplines - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. The modern team approach to reservoir characterization describes productive zones more reliably through the integration of disciplines, technology and data. Increase your proven reserves, discover by-passed pay, reduce development time and costs, improve production rates, and rejuvenate old fields through the skills learned in this course. The models developed during the course are based on the application of state-of-the-art technical applications within the framework of a multi-disciplinary team approach. The course is process-based and focuses upon: - Understanding the applicability of the measurements and interpretations from the participant's discipline to other adjacent disciplines - Understanding information from other disciplines and the uncertainties and risks involved in its gathering/interpretation - Awareness of the latest technologies and working principles evolving on the "cutting edge" of the industry - Managing a large complex project to solve business problems in the most efficient manner - particularly when working in a difficult environment (multi-disciplinary teams, bosses outside your expertise, cross purposes from disciplines, etc) - Working with multiple working hypotheses throughout the project until conclusively proven otherwise Reservoir characterization is the process between the discovery phase of a property and the reservoir management phase. The process integrates the technical disciplines of geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, production engineering, petrophysics, economics, and data management. Key objectives of reservoir characterization focus on modeling each reservoir unit, predicting well behavior, understanding past reservoir performance, and forecasting future reservoir performance. Such factors, in addition to staffing needs and expenditures,...

Course programme

Training Course Content

This in-house training programme can be customised to meet your specific requirements. It typically covers:

  • Distribution of reservoir properties: Structure, fluid contacts, water saturation, and pressure
  • Rock properties: Porosity, permeability, capillary pressure, and relative permeability
  • Fluid properties: Phase behavior of reservoir fluids, properties of gas, oil and water, PVT sampling and PVT laboratory reports
  • Volumetric calculation of initial hydrocarbons in place: Oil in place, gas in place, addressing uncertainty using probabilistic methods, reserve booking practices, and reservoir recovery efficiencies
  • Material balance methods: Oil reservoir material balance, Havlena Odeh method, gas material balance, volumetric, compaction, water drive and compartmentalized reservoirs
  • Fluid flow and well performance: Radial and linear flow, transient, pseudosteady state, steady state flow regimes, productivity of vertical and horizontal wells
  • Aquifer influx
  • Immiscible displacement: Fluid displacement process, fractional flow, Buckley Leverett, Welge, water under running and gas overriding
  • Coning and cusping: Description of process, critical rates, using horizontal wells
  • Reservoir types and drive mechanisms: Gas reservoirs: volumetric, water drive and compaction drive - Oil Reservoirs: solution gas drive, water drive, water flood, gas cap expansion, combination drive, naturally fractured and critical reservoir fluid reservoirs
  • Reservoir simulation: Why simulate, types of simulators and simulation models, setting up a simulation model, conducting a simulation study
  • Field development planning: Characteristics, planning tools, deliverability issues, determining a well count and rate forecast
