Course Description

An overview of the fundamental concepts and elements of reservoir simulation will be introduced in this fast-paced, lecture-style seminar. No equations will be used; the materials will be taught from an awareness perspective. Various phases (from model building through prediction) and types (single-well, sector, full-field) of models will be discussed.

Course topics include:

•  When to use reservoir simulation
• Use and misuse of reservoir simulation
• Elements of a reservoir simulation model
• Types of reservoir simulators and features
• Coordinate geometries and model types
• Well modeling overview and building the model
• Managing the simulation run
• Defining initial conditions
• History matching and prediction
• Process and specialty 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 reservoir simulation and need a “quick start” on the learning curve. Recent university graduates new to their position, earth scientists, and those who require a high-level view of this technology will especially benefit.
