COURSE OVERVIEW
PetroTeach offers a five-day Applied Reservoir Engineering course designed to address the key parameters and challenges encountered by reservoir engineers on a daily basis. Participants will cover the most relevant topics in reservoir engineering, including Special Core Analysis (SCAL), PVT analysis, well testing, and reservoir simulation. The course is structured in two parts: (1) classical reservoir engineering and (2) advanced reservoir engineering applications.
The first part focuses on reservoir rock characterization, fluid properties (PVT), resource and reserve classification, well performance analysis, reservoir drive mechanisms, and fundamental reservoir evaluation techniques. The second part emphasizes integrated reservoir studies, including data integration, reservoir model construction, history matching, sensitivity analysis, and considerations related to Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) within field development planning and reservoir management strategies. This integrated approach ensures participants develop both a strong theoretical foundation and practical skills applicable to real field scenarios.
