COURSE OVERVIEW

The primary focus for the course is to provide the attendees with gained knowledge and experience related to fluid flow in porous media and its applications in the Oil and Gas industry.

The process of flow through porous media is of interest to a wide range of engineers and scientists, in addition to politicians and economists who recognize the importance of groundwater flows and a variety of oil recovery (primary, secondary, and ternary) processes. The main objective of this course is to present the mathematical relationships that are designed to describe the flow of the reservoir fluids through reservoir rocks. The mathematical forms of these relationships will vary depending upon the characteristics of the porous media such as the porous heterogeneity and wettability conditions. The mechanism of some enhanced oil recovery methods and how such mechanisms and permeable media characteristics can influence on the oil recovery improvement will be demonstrated.
