Reservoir Behavior for Geologists and Geophysicists

(5 days)

For: Geologists and geophysicists who work with reservoir engineers to help evaluate reserves and economic opportunities

You learn to talk "reservoir" with the engineers like a pro. Experience no more confusion about decline curve analysis, mobility and Darcy's Law. You leave with confidence to read any reservoir study critically and discuss parameters that are subject to question.

You learn the engineers' basis for well spacing and why their reserve estimates often don't match yours.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Reservoir Classification

  • Phase Behavior (Oil vs. Gas)

  • Drive Mechanisms

  • Reservoir Fluid Properties

  • Reservoir Rock Properties

  • Rock Fluid Interactions

  • Fluid Flow in Reservoirs

  • Volumetric Methods for Reserves

  • Material Balance

  • Decline Curve Analysis

  • Waterflooding

  • Reservoir Management

  • Improved Recovery

  • What Engineers and Geologists Can Do For Each Other
