COURSE OVERVIEW
The course presents the fundamentals of reservoir engineering and describe the components of forces acting on hydrocarbon reservoirs. The course is designed for non-reservoir engineers or reservoir engineer with a basic background. Theoretical
aspects coupled with explanation of laboratory experiments will be presented to assist reservoir and exploitation engineers for better understanding of hydrocarbon reservoirs.
This 5-days course gives a better understanding of reservoir engineering parameters and factors affecting on oil recovery. The goal of the course is to give a good understanding of the reservoir engineering processes, fluid flow in porous media, reservoir types and drive mechanisms, recovery mechanisms in oil production, rock and fluid properties, material balance, reserve estimation and other important parameters in reservoir engineering.
