Integrated Reservoir Modeling - GRD |
Discipline: Reservoir Engineering Level: Intermediate Duration: 5 days Instructor(s): Asnul Bahar, Mohan Kelkar |
As the oil companies define business units and asset teams, it is becoming increasingly important that all the team members understand the workflow in developing integrated reservoir description for that asset. A proper development of reservoir description is helpful in managing daily operations of the asset, as well as long-term planning. Integration involves using all the available information about the reservoir to develop better understanding of the reservoir. This process is inherently interdisciplinary and requires understanding of all the disciplines. Although soft skills are important in working in an interdisciplinary team, this course concentrates on the hard skills required to develop a realistic reservoir description. Starting with collecting information and assessing the need for additional data, the course will cover all the topics from structural and geological modeling, estimation of reservoir petrophysical properties using geostatistical tools, upscaling to simulator model and finally, proper history matching and future predictions in the presence of uncertainties. This course is important to reservoir modelers involved in any phase of the description work. This is intended to expose various geoscientists and engineers to the entire process of integrated reservoir description and the geostatistical tools that can be used to achieve the goals. The course will develop improved appreciation of the other disciplines' needs as well as the necessity of the feedback during the integration process. One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants. The instructor of this course is willing to accept examples from your company for analysis in the class as one of the demonstration exercises. Please contact PetroSkills for a list of the information and support data required, as well as the necessary lead-time. This course covers both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. "The course was very well taught. I though the explanations were clear and the reviews helpful to retain what I've learned." - Team Lead - Engineering, Canada "The professor gave theories together with practical examples using commercial software. I got basic understanding of static and dynamic modeling. I feel very satisfied." - Petroleum Geologist, South Korea |
Designed For: Geologists, geophysicists, engineers, petrophysicists or others involved in reservoir modeling. |

For 4 years he has been teaching courses relating to Geostatistics for integrated reservoir modeling. Dr. Bahar is proficient in using commercial software (PETREL) and in customizing C++ software for reservoir modeling, and has performed flow simulation study using an ECLIPSE flow simulator. He has been coordinating the operation of various on-going consulting studies and projects, including: Reservoir Rock Type Modeling, Stochastic Property Modeling, Fracture Integration and History Matching, Fracture Modeling and Integration into Reservoir Model, UAE Reservoir Evaluation, Integrated Reservoir Characterization and Flow Simulation, and more. Dr. Bahar has a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Tulsa as well as an MS in Petroleum Engineering. Dr. Bahar received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from the Institut Teknologi Bandung in Indonesia. DR. MOHAN G. KELKAR is a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His main research interests include reservoir characterization, production optimization, and risk analysis. He is involved in several research projects, which are partially funded by various national and international oil companies, the US Department of Energy, and Oklahoma Center for Advancement of Science and Technology. He has taught various short courses for many oil companies in Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, Nigeria, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Scotland, India, Denmark and across the United States. He has been a consultant to many oil companies, as well as to the United Nations. He received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bombay, an M.S. in Petroleum Engineering and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, and a J.D. from the University of Tulsa.
