Course Content
E&P & RESERVOIR ENGINEERING WORKFLOW
Introduction to E&P and reservoir engineering workflow through interactive work.
Logging operations and log environment (borehole, invasion profile).
Fundamental equations for log interpretation in clean formations.
Main open-hole logs. Quick-look qualitative interpretation technique.
Reservoir fluids properties (oil, gas, water):
Fluids composition (hydrocarbons).
Thermodynamics equilibrium. Phase envelope.
Main PVT parameters: FVF, Rs, GOR, etc.
FUNDAMENTALS OF RESERVOIR ENGINEERING
Well testing and well test analysis:
Well and reservoir performance and the need for testing.
Darcy's law, diffusivity equation and typical flow regimes.
Productivity index, radius of investigation.
Well test interpretation: pressure curves analysis, pressure derivative.
Drive mechanisms:
Primary recovery: oil reservoirs (natural depletion, natural water drive) and gas reservoirs.
Secondary recovery: water flooding, gas injection.
EOR: miscible gas injection, chemical flooding, thermal flooding.
FUNDAMENTALS OF RESERVOIR SIMULATION
