This course provides an extensive and practical knowledge in reservoir modeling & simulation. It is proposed to understand the advanced topics & principles involved in reservoir simulation.

·       Understand reservoir description and characterization process

·       Rock (RCAL & SCAL) and fluid properties (PVT modeling)

·       Build representative PVT descriptions for Black Oil, Compositional or Thermal models.

·       Match results to experimental data and adjust relevant model parameters accordingly.

·       Design operational strategies that incorporate all relevant assumptions, fit to represent the specific challenges of any field maturity.

·       Optimize model data by linking scheduled actions with well parameters.

·       Reserve estimation and STOIIP calculations

·       QAQC and consistency check of 3D static models

·       Understand the data requirements for conducting a simulation study

·       Initialize and run dynamic model/ reservoir simulation models

·       Understanding uncertainties and sensitivity analyses and their implications

·       Understand and practice history matching

·       Investigate various reservoir engineering and reservoir management principles

·       Field development planning (FDP) under waterflooding and gas injection
