Advanced Reservoir Engineering
Description
This course will cover the basics concepts of reservoir engineering with applications to the oil and gas production. The governing equations for flow in porous media will be derived and solved for several typical cases of basic reservoir engineering. Concepts such as transient, steady state, pseudo-steady state single-phase flows, fractured reservoirs, multiphase flow in porous media, and immiscible and miscible displacement will be reviewed. The fluid flow theories taught in this course will be used for practical applications such as well testing, well planning, tracer, and water flooding.Learning Outcomes
- Learning fundamental concepts including interfacial phenomena, wettability, capillary pressure, and relative permeability, and their applications in analyzing reservoir rock-fluid interactions.- Modelling 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.
