Learning Objectives

  • Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
  • predict global production through integrated modeling,
  • describe MBAL™, PROSPER™ and GAP™ theory, capabilities and synergies,
  • perform a case study aiming at building tank model, PVT match, well performance and surface network including the use of specialized software (IPM™, MBAL™, PROSPER™, GAP™),
  • apply integrated modeling using the mentioned tools.

Ways & Means
