Enroll

In this course I wanted to discuss 7 topics in Applied Reservoir Engineering that, I beleive, will be useful for Graduate Engineers just starting in the industry as well as anyone working with the Reservoir Engineers in an integrated Subsurface Teams. These topics are:

1) Overview of petroleum production operations and pressure drop
2) Petroleum production system & pressure terminology
3) Well production control through pressure drop lens
4) Well model, well test, well performance curve & production allocation
5) Nodal analysis: IPR and VFP curves
6) What does “behaves like a tank” mean?
7) Material balance for Volumetric Gas Reservoirs

• Principles of pressure drop in the petroleum production system
• Pressure terminology
• Intuition behind IPR and VFP Curves
• Intuition behind Gas Material Balance

• Having Completed High-school Science Disciplines
• Having studied Petroleum Engineering at University will help, but not mandatory

• Graduate Petroleum & Reservoir Engineers
• Representatives of Adjacent Disciplines, such as Geologists, Process Engineers and Subsurface Managers
• General public interested in petroleum production and reservoir engineering
