In addressing of importance of fractured reservoirs, PetroTeach offers this course focusing on reservoir engineering aspects of naturally fractured reservoirs. These reservoirs are challenging type of the oil reservoir, which needs special attention and treatment. Participants will learn fundamentals, well testing, EOR and modelling in Fractured Reservoirs.
This 3-days course covers the different elements in the evaluation of naturally fractured reservoirs from reservoir engineering point of view. Examples of more than 1o Fractured Reservoirs and range of oil recovery will be discussed. The emphasis is on interpretationn of well test data, EOR and practical experimental way for conducting laboratory experiment.

Dr. Hassan Karimaie has more than 25 years of experience in upstream oil and gas industry. He has carried out numerous reservoir studies on various reservoirs in Middle East, Europe and Africa and thought several courses at NTNU, and other universities. He is an expert with vast industrial exposure on model building using laboratory data, reservoir simulation, CO2 EOR and storage and enhanced oil recovery studies.
The course is designed for Petroleum Engineers and reservoir engineers who are part of
multidisciplinary team to characterize and evaluate of fractured reservoirs.
The participants will learn:
o Fluid Flow in Fractured Reservoirs
o Recovery Mechanisms in Fractured Reservoirs
o EOR in Fractured Reservoirs
o How to analyse well testing data
o Gravity Drainage and it’s role
o Laboratory procedure for EOR in Fractured Reservoirs
o Fractured Reservoir Models
