Presentation

Who Should Attend
Exploration specialists who want to learn the basics of reservoir engineering and the procedures required to properly manage a reservoir's development.

Contents
The continuous process of reservoir management: roles of the geologist and the engineer. Reservoir description and reservoir behavior. Geologist's and engineer's joint responsibility in reducing uncertainties. Reservoir Characterization. Rock and Fluid Properties. Reservoir Mechanics: reservoir energy; natural drive mechanisms; material balance. Fluid Flow In Porous Media: incompressible, compressible flow; multiphase displacement, limitation of applying theoretical calculations. Reservoir Simulation: basic concepts; reservoir description requirements; areas of application; potential pitfalls.Well Testing: drawdown/buildup tests; analysis methods; test design; limitations and inaccuracies. Using reservoir behavior to improve the description: identifying the effective reservoir; understanding the drive mechanisms; diagnosing inconsistencies. Refining development plans: defining fluid movements and drainage patterns; planning development drilling, pressure maintenance; managing depletion. Includes examples of primary, secondary and EOR production from several reservoirs and the applications of Reservoir Management in each.
