COURSE OVERVIEW

This five-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of key reservoir engineering parameters and the factors influencing oil recovery. The objective of the course is to develop a solid foundation in reservoir engineering principles, including fluid flow in porous media, reservoir classification and drive mechanisms, and recovery mechanisms in oil production. It also covers rock and fluid properties, material balance analysis, reserve estimation techniques, and other essential parameters critical to reservoir evaluation and management.

COURSE OUTLINE

5 days

Day 1

o Introduction to oil recovery in reservoir
o Recovery mechanisms in reservoir
o Black oil fluid phase behavior
o Material balance in oil reservoir
o Reserve estimation
o Review of relative permeability
o Review of capillary pressure

Day 2

o Review of SCAL and CCAL experiments
o Laboratory measurement of relative permeability
o Laboratory measurement of capillary pressure
o Common PVT tests

Day 3

o Immiscible displacement
o Fractional flow equation
o Buckley-Leverett theory
o Input to numerical simulator

Day 4

o All about unconventional reservoirs
o Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

Day 5

o Application of different EOR schemes and benefits

Note: In addition of class exercise, many examples will also be covered during the course.

INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Hassan Karimaie has more than 35 years of experience in the upstream oil and gas industry¨ and is Professor Chair at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). He has conducted numerous reservoir studies across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, and has taught several courses at NTNU as well as at other universities and companies worldwide.

He is a recognized expert with extensive industrial experience in reservoir model building using laboratory data, reservoir simulation, CO₂ enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and storage, and integrated EOR studies. His research interests include Special Core Analysis (SCAL), CO₂ EOR and storage, and unconventional reservoirs.
