COURSE OVERVIEW
The Natural Gas Engineering course is a comprehensive training program which covers most relevant topics of natural gas. Although some reservoir engineering techniques in oil wells can be adapted for gas wells, there are technical and operational differences between oil wells and gas wells. The course will provide participants with in-depth knowledge on natural gas composition and phase behavior, well testing of gas reservoirs and fundamentals of gas injection in oil reservoir.
This course is designed to provide fundamental background in reservoir engineering tailored to gas fields. The engineer needs to know the underlying fundamentals of the models to effectively deal with reservoir engineering challenges applicable to gas wells. In this course, participants will acquire relevant skills to build and use practical reservoir models to solve problems distinct to gas wells.
