PetE 375
Applied Reservoir Engineering
Description
Reserves estimation. Analysis and prediction of reservoir performance by use of material balance. Primary recovery performance for water influx and solution gas drive reservoirs. Decline curve analysis. Basics of well test analysis. Pressure drawdown and buildup tests. Average reservoir pressure estimation. Drill stem testing and gas well testing.Prerequisite: PET E 295 or PET E 373.
Learning Outcomes
Estimate volume in-place and reserves using geologic and production data.Formulate Monte Carlo simulation to perform probabilistic volumetric calculations.
Propose, as part of the team open-ended design assignments, field exploration activities and data collection programs considering uncertainties in the in-place volumes.
Apply pressure transient theories to analyze common well tests.
Perform decline analysis calculations to forecast production.
Build, as part of the team open-ended design assignment, a model of the subsurface conditions from a diverse set of data sources, considering, interpreting and reconciling any discrepancies and uncertainties in the data.
Construct tank-based material balance models to predict recovery performance under different drive mechanisms.
Assess, as part of the team open-ended design assignment, different field development scenarios and determine the relevant operational parameters using the tank-based material balance models and economic calculations.
Construct, as part of the individual open-ended seminar exercises, numerical simulation models to study the effects of reservoir heterogeneities and propose development strategies (e.g., well placement and operational parameters).
