Course Description

This course will cover the basic techniques used in modern reservoir management and reservoir monitoring.  The reservoir management process with data analysis, reservoir dynamic modeling, and production operations will be discussed.  Surface facilities, related project evaluations and economics will be covered.  The class will also cover the general aspects of reservoir monitoring and planning.

Course Objectives

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

• Understand the fundamental concepts and principles of reservoir management.
• Comprehend the reservoir management process and its components.
• Apply data analysis techniques for reservoir characterization and evaluation.
• Develop reservoir dynamic models for forecasting and production optimization.
• Implement effective reservoir monitoring strategies using new technologies.
• Evaluate and estimate reserves and resources through decline curve analysis.
• Conduct material balance equations and waterflooding design for enhanced oil recovery.
• Perform history matching and prediction for reservoir performance evaluation.
• Assess risk factors in reservoir management and make informed decisions.
• Apply economic indicators and models for project evaluations.
• Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of petroleum reservoir management.
