Reservoir engineering has been defined as “the art of developing and producing oil and gas fluids in such a manner as to obtain a high economic recovery” (Moore, 1955).
This two-day course, instructed by Brian Musso, is designed to provide a basic understanding of the multi-disciplined approach required to perform reservoir engineering, along with understanding why it is crucial to the petroleum industry.
Participants will gain an understanding of reservoir deposition, reservoir quality and reservoir characteristics necessary for economically viable and producible reservoirs.
Participants will learn the following and why these are important to an understanding of reservoir engineering:
- Identification of oil and/or gas reservoirs
- The difference between conventional, tight rock and unconventional reservoirs
- Reservoir rock properties including porosity and permeability
- How oil and gas are formed
- The steps necessary for estimating and calculating in place and recoverable oil and gas
BENEFITS of attending:
- Participants will comprehend how reservoir engineers process their workloads and how they interact with other team members
- Participants will get a better understanding of how to communicate with reservoir engineers and geoscientists in major projects and day-to-day activities
- Participants will have an appreciation for data requirements, why certain data is needed, how it is used in reservoir analysis and the impact it has on the organization
Who Should Attend:
Individuals or groups communicating with or supporting multi-disciplined teams of geoscientists, engineers, or technical analysts who participate in reservoir exploration, appraisal, development and/or production of hydrocarbon reservoirs. This includes anyone in the following areas:
– Information Technology
