Basic Reservoir Engineering is a course designed to help the participants develop a more complete understanding of the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, from fluid and rock characteristics through reservoir definition, delineation, classification, development, and production. Data collection, integration, and application directed toward maximizing recovery and Net Present Value are stressed. Basic reservoir engineering equations are introduced with emphasis directed to parameter significance and an understanding of the results. For nearly 30 years this has been one of our most popular and successful courses. This course is also available in a blended, virtual format via PetroAcademy The Basic Reservoir Engineering course includes class exercises designed to be solved by hand with a calculator. For those who prefer to use spreadsheets to do the calculations, participants are welcome to bring their own laptop computers. This course covers conventional reservoirs. "I thought the content was spot-on." - Exploration Geoscientist, United States "The way it was given caught everyone's attention and was interactive." - Wellsite Engineer, Denmark "The supplemental decline curve section was very worthwhile." - Geologist, United States |
