Course Description

Basic Reservoir Engineering is a course designed to help the participants develop a more complete understanding of the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, from fluid and rock characteristics through reservoir definition, delineation, classification, development, and production. Data collection, integration, and application directed toward maximizing recovery and Net Present Value are stressed. Basic reservoir engineering equations are introduced with emphasis directed to parameter significance and an understanding of the results.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participant will be able to:

• Understand the basic concepts of reservoir engineering: This includes understanding the properties of reservoir fluids and rocks, the fundamentals of oil production and recovery, and the different types of reservoir drive mechanisms.
• Apply reservoir engineering principles to solve problems: This involves being able to use reservoir engineering equations and models to solve real-world problems.
• Analyze and evaluate reservoir engineering data: This involves being able to collect, organize, and interpret data from reservoir wells and other sources.
• Communicate effectively with other professionals in the oil and gas industry: This involves being able to communicate technical information in a clear and concise way.
• Develop a strong foundation in the fundamentals of reservoir engineering: This involves having a solid understanding of the basic principles of reservoir engineering

Who Can Benefit

Geologists, geophysicists, engineers, engineering trainees, technical managers, technical assistants, technicians, chemists, physicists, technical supervisors, service company personnel, sales representatives, data processing personnel, and support staff working with reservoir engineers and wanting to understand the process of reservoir definition, development, and production, or engineers newly placed in a reservoir engineering position that want a first reservoir engineering course at the Basic level.
