This 2-days course covers the different elements in the evaluation of naturally fractured reservoirs from reservoir engineering point of view. Examples of more than 1o heavy oil Reservoirs and range of oil recovery will be discussed. The emphasis is on interpretation of well test data, EOR and practical experimental way for conducting laboratory experiment and simulation of fractured reservoirs. The course accompanied by examples and case histories to reinforce the key concepts, methods and results.

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 reservoir engineer working in heavy oil projects.
The participants will learn:
o Thermodynamics of Heavy oil and Steam
o Heat Transfer in Oil reservoir
o Mechanism of Thermal Oil Recovery
o How to design thermal recovery
o EOR such as CSS, Hot Water Injection, CHOPS, and SAGD
