SPEI: Fundamentals of Reservoir Simulation
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. 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. 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 indepth
study or practice.
