COURSE OVERVIEW

PetroTeach offers a course providing an introduction to PVT modeling and petroleum fluid properties, supported by practical examples and classroom exercises. The program is designed for engineers with a basic understanding of fluid phase behavior and fluid characterization. It builds on this foundation to develop a clearer and more practical understanding of PVT modeling techniques and the properties of petroleum mixtures.

By the end of the course, participants will have gained solid knowledge of PVT modeling principles, fluid behavior analysis, and their applications in reservoir and production engineering. In addition, attendees will benefit from continued instructor support for related technical questions and discussions during and after the course.

INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Mohammad Ghasemi has approximately 15 years of experience across a wide range of petroleum reservoir engineering projects. His recent research at Kuwait University includes the development of flow pattern maps for two-phase flow in heavy oil systems and integrated modeling of asphaltene deposition in vertical wells. He has worked as a Senior Reservoir Engineer at Petrostreamz and as a Reservoir Engineer at NISOC and PERA, contributing to diverse reservoir engineering studies and field development projects.

He has taught and assisted in several petroleum engineering courses, including gas injection EOR, advanced PVT, fluid development, and production engineering.

He earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Petroleum Technology (PUT). He also holds a Master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering from the University of Calgary and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), respectively.
