Reservoir Simulation & Optimization Module 1 & 2

Course Description:

This program deals with the knowledge involved in the mechanics of reservoir volume estimation and how to use sub-surface formation reservoir fluids volume to efficiently design and forecast production. This is intended for proper management of the reservoir asset without causing unnecessary damage to the formation and without jeopardizing full exploitation of the reservoir’s potential.

This course will generally focus on the application of knowledge of reservoir characteristics to numerical modelling including single and full field models. It is a program which includes examples of simulations of various reservoir conditions and scenarios including the use of history matching to carry out future performance predictions.
