Overview

This five-day course is designed for technical professionals and will introduce the participants to the fundamental aspects of reservoir engineering. Theoretical concepts coupled with numerous practical case histories are presented to assist reservoir and exploitation engineers in their primary functions - the determination of oil and gas reserves and the maximization of hydrocarbon recovery under primary, secondary, and tertiary schemes. Field development of non-conventional gas reservoirs such as, coalbed methane (CBM) and tight gas reservoirs will also be covered. The applications of horizontal well, planning and some of new technologies will be reviewed. The session will include a number of relevant class problems and examples.

A complete set of course materials and lunches are included.
