The essentials in a day.
Have you been on reservoir engineering classes in the past, heard the terms, seen the equations but not used any of it directly yourself? Would you like someone to run over the basics and just pick out the essentials – the parts everyone really needs to know?
This one day Master Class is designed to explain how Reservoir Engineers make subsurface interpretations, use these to build models to make forecasts and use these in turn to influence significant investment decisions.
The course is designed for those who interface with reservoir engineering professionals and need to understand the language, techniques and assumptions they make in forecasting reservoir performance under various development schemes.
Duration
Learning Level
The day will cover what types of models the reservoir engineer uses; from simple analytical (spreadsheet) tools to more complex numerical simulators, and will put in context the key fundamentals of rock and fluid properties, well performance and processing. The day will illustrate how these fundamentals and the commercial E&P context place constraints on forecasts, and why a significant associated range of uncertainty results.
This will be done in plain language accessible to those working outside reservoir engineering with the aim of giving you what you need to know to understand the subject – just the essential details.
The day will cover six fundamental principles of reservoir engineering which everyone working with resource estimations and production forecasts should understand fully:
