The course is designed to give an introduction to the fundamental and practical aspects of modern reservoir simulation. Particular emphasis is placed upon the available data and its integration into a data set that reflects a coherent model of the reservoir. These aspects are reinforced with small practical examples.
By the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
Apply the principles of reservoir engineering to numerical modeling
Set up, run, and analyze the results for single well, pattern and full-field models
Prepare fluid and rock property data in the manner required for simulation studies
Identify and eliminate causes of numerical problems
Perform a history match
Use the matched model to predict future performance under a variety of assumptions
Reservoir and petroleum engineers who will be actively using reservoir simulation
