Course Description

In the exploration and production business, Reservoir Engineers play a key role in handling, analyzing and interpreting subsurface and production data at all stages of field development. Reservoir Engineering data and models are used in field development plans to optimize economic production of hydrocarbons. In brief, this course will cover a broad spectrum of modern practical reservoir engineering methods are addressed. Extensive use is made of practical and actual field problems to illustrate relevant subjects.

Course Goal

To enhance participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for deep understanding of fundamental and advanced reservoir engineering concepts and apply key tools of modern practical reservoir engineers.
