COURSE OVERVIEW
The hydrocarbon is accumulated in the reservoir and reached equilibrium for a long time before being exploited. The first step in reservoir simulation is to introduce such state of the reservoir to the simulator. PetroTeach offers this two days unique course to provide information on how to determine of Reservoir Initial State for Reservoir Simulation.
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is a step-by-step guide for understanding, manipulation and working out the data leading to define the reservoir initial state to the reservoir model. The course is divided into three parts each serving one part of reservoir initial state determination. The first part is all about reservoir pressure data including data quality check, data assessment, and concatenation from different sources leading to define the reservoir initial pressure for the model. The second part deals with complete suite of contact level determination integrated with reservoir pressure determination; including single, multiple, tilted, and unusual contact level determinations. The last part concludes the course on providing all necessary data required by reservoir simulation model including reservoir pressure, contact levels, PC at contacts, and fluid related parameters to reservoir equilibrium, API, fluid ratios, saturation pressure and composition variations versus depth in the reservoir.
