COURSE OVERVIEW
The Natural Gas Engineering course is a comprehensive training program covering the most relevant technical aspects of natural gas systems and gas reservoir management. While certain reservoir engineering techniques developed for oil wells can be adapted to gas wells, significant technical and operational differences exist. This course highlights those distinctions and provides participants with in-depth knowledge of natural gas composition and phase behavior, gas reservoir well testing, and the fundamentals of gas injection in oil reservoirs.
The program is designed to deliver a solid reservoir engineering foundation tailored specifically to gas fields. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the underlying physical principles and mathematical models required to address reservoir engineering challenges unique to gas wells. Throughout the course, attendees will develop practical skills in building and applying reservoir models to analyze and solve gas field performance and development problems.
