PetE 295

Fundamental Reservoir Engineering


Description

Rock properties (porosity, permeability): definition, measurement and models. Rock-fluid interaction (wettability, relative permeability, interfacial tension, capillary pressure): definition, measurement and models. Single and multiphase flow through porous media Darcy equation and diffusivity equation: Derivation and solution for different coordinates and boundary conditions.
Prerequisite: PET E 275. PET E 295 cannot be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained in PET E 373.
