This course is designed for reservoir and simulation engineers, petrophysicists, geologists, and geomodelers who possess basic knowledge and experience in reservoir studies and modeling. Geological models are the result of integrated geoscience and reservoir engineering efforts and serve as the essential static framework for dynamic reservoir simulation. The dynamic behavior of reservoir models is fundamentally governed by the static characteristics defined within the geological model. Although history matching parameters can significantly influence simulation performance, they cannot alter the inherent nature of static geological properties. Therefore, thorough quality control and validation of the geological model prior to initiating dynamic simulation are critical.

In this course, reservoir engineering methodologies are applied to qualify and validate various data types incorporated into geological models before commencing reservoir simulation. The applied techniques and workflows are demonstrated through case studies derived from comprehensive field development and reservoir studies, providing participants with practical and actionable insights.
