Course ID 015E: Reservoir Engineering July 21 - 25 * Houston
The objective of this course is the development of a more complete understanding of the fluid flow in porous media, covering reservoir flow mechanisms, primary production, secondary production (water flooding) to tertiary mechanisms, namely enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The participants will learn the basic analytical and computational tools in reservoir management. Dracy’s flow, multiphase flow and material balance equations are emphasized. Also, the principles of integrated reservoir management will be discussed.
