COURSE OVERVIEW
PetroTecah offers the course to cover the introduction to the PVT modeling and petroleum properties with several examples and class exercises. It addresses those engineers with the basic knowledge in the fluid phase behavior and fluid characterizations. After the course, engineers will gain a good understanding of the PVT modelling and fluid properties of the petroleum mixtures. Moreover, participants can benefit from the instructor continuous supports to their related subjects and questions during or after the course.

INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Mohammad Ghasemi
Dr. Mohammad Ghasemi is a senior reservoir engineer/researcher with 15 years of experience in variety of petroleum reservoir engineering projects. His recent research at Kuwait University includes the development of the flow pattern map for two-phase flow in a heavy oil system, and also the integrated modelling of asphaltene deposition in vertical wells. Dr. Ghasemi has worked for Petrostreamz as a senior reservoir engineer, and for NISOC and PERA as a reservoir engineer. Ghasemi was involved in vast range of reservoir engineering projects. His research interests include gas injection-EOR (enhanced oil recovery) for conventional and unconventional reservoirs, fluid characterization and EOS modelling, reservoir simulation, and integrated optimization. Dr. Ghasemi earned BS and MS degrees in petroleum engineering from the University of Petroleum Technology (PUT). He also holds master and PhD degrees from the University of Calgary and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), both in petroleum reservoir engineering.
