CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
This professional short course introduces the non-reservoir engineers to the basic reservoir engineering concepts. In this course the learners will be exposed to basic reservoir rock and fluid properties, volumetric calculation, drive mechanism and the concept of fluid flow in porous media.
This short course is suitable for the non-reservoir engineers and is designed to cover basics of reservoir engineering and its integration with other subsurface discipline.
Reservoirs Rock properties
- Define the basic rock properties, porosity, permeability, saturation, capillary pressure
- Understand the concept of relative permeability
- Understand the concept of wettability and its relationship with relative permeability
- Relate the concept of capillary pressure with fluid contact
- Understand the concept of interfacial/ tension surface in reservoir rocks
Reservoirs Fluid properties
- Define the hydrocarbon Formation Volume Factor
- Define the solution Gas Oil Ratio
- Estimate the viscosities of Gas and Oil
- Estimate the Reservoir fluid properties at varying temperature and pressure
Volumetric Estimation
- Describe the reservoir volume
- Estimate oil and gas in-place using the volumetric method
- Categorize the reserves as per SPE
- Determine subsurface fluid pressure
Natural Drive Mechanisms
- Introduction
- Describe the water drive mechanism
- Describe the gas cap drive mechanism
- Describe the solution gas drive mechanism
- Diagnose the drive mechanism based on the production profile
Flow Through Porous Media
- Describe type of fluids and flow regimes
- Compare flow regimes: steady-state, unsteady-state and pseudosteady-state
- Understand linear and radial flow equations for incompressible fluid
- Derive linear and radial flow equations for slightly compressible fluids
- Apply the linear and radial flow equations for compressible fluids
- Calculate steady-state reservoir performance
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the reservoir rock and fluid properties
- Estimate the hydrocarbon initially in-place
- Understand the concept of natural drive mechanism in hydrocarbon recovery
- Diagnose the natural drive mechanism of a reservoir based on the production profile
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Anyone interested in the fundamental of reservoir engineering Researchers, Geologists, Other engineers venturing into the field of petroleum engineering.
