Introduction to Reservoir Simulation

Overview Objectives Audience Methodology Contents Certificate FAQ's

Course Overview

Reservoir simulation has a great impact on the current Oil & Gas industry. It becomes the key element for making a decision about any current or future investment. Simply, reservoir simulation is used to identify any opportunity to increase oil or gas production.

This course is outlined to help and support the non- specialists with the basic features of reservoir simulation engineering. The course illustrates gradually from the basic features of reservoir simulation and up to the special topics used in the reservoir simulation practices. The participants will have a valuable knowledge on the overall petroleum industry, the importance role of reservoir simulation engineer and the way to conduct a simulation study. Furthermore, the course includes the concept of field development plan and special topics of reservoir simulation engineering.
