Advanced Reservoir Engineering
Description
Single and multiphase flow in porous media: concepts of relative permeability, capillary pressure, and wettability. Immiscible and miscible displacement processes in porous media. Overall reservoir performance (tank model): Mechanics of primary production and material balance equation of gas, gas condensate, volatile and black oil reservoirs. Graphical and analytical decline curve analysis. Diffusivity equation and pressure transient in oil and gas reservoirs.Learning Outcomes
Learning fundamental concepts including interfacial phenomena, wettability, capillary pressure, and relative permeability, and their applications in analyzing reservoir rock-fluid interactionsModelling fluid flow in porous media under steady state, pseudo-steady state, and unsteady state conditions
Streamline modelling for applications such as tracer test, waterflooding, and well-pattern design
Analyzing well-testing data to estimate reservoir parameters such as permeability, reservoir drainage area and shape, and initial reservoir pressure
Modelling miscible and immiscible displacement in porous media for different applications such as enhanced oil recovery
Modeling fluid-flow in fractured reservoirs for application such as production data analysis and forecasting, and reservoir characterization
