Reservoir Simulation Engineering

This course is designed to provide the delegates with the main features of reservoir simulation engineering. The course addresses all aspects of reservoir simulation engineering starting from the concept and up to the special topics used for modeling practices. Delegates will have a solid understanding on building the reservoir simulation model and conducting a reservoir simulation study for better field development plan.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Understand the concept of reservoir simulation engineering
• Learn how to build a reservoir simulation model
• Learn how to run and conduct a reservoir simulation study
• Gain sufficient knowledge on enhanced oil recovery simulation studies
• Gain sufficient knowledge on fractured reservoir simulation modeling applications
• Understand Field Development Plan Concept

Who Should Attend?
