Course Description

The purpose of this seminar is to introduce the fundamental concepts and elements of reservoir simulation. This is an overview of simulation technology, taught from a physical perspective. There are no equations used in this course. The various phases (from model building through prediction) and types (singlewell, sector, full-field) of models will be discussed. This is not intended to be a hands-on course. This will be very fast-paced for those who want an overview of simulation types before getting involved in more in-depth study or practice. Topics covered will include:

  • Theory of Numerical Simulation
  • Planning a Simulation Study
  • Data Acquisition and Analysis
  • Fluid Properties
  • Rock-Fluid Interaction Relationships
  • Geologic Model Development
  • Grid Construction
  • Model Initialization
  • Prepare Well History
  • History Match
  • Prediction Cases
  • Review of Simulation Models

     

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will understand the basics, such as why and how a model is built, data sources, how wells are modeled, and what a company is looking for in a reservoir simulation study.

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for those who have had little exposure to this technology and need a "quick start" on the learning curve. New college hires will benefit especially.

CEUs

 0.8 (Continuing Education Units) awarded for this 1-day course.

Cancellation Policy

A fee equal to 25% of the course fee will be charged for cancellations less than 15 working days before the course begins. No refunds will be made for cancellations after the course begins.
