Reservoir Fluid Properties: Preparation for Reservoir Engineering and Simulation Studies - RFP |
Discipline: Reservoir Engineering
Level: Foundation
Duration: 5 days
Instructor(s): Richard Henry |
This course goes beyond the usual description of reservoir fluid properties. The underlying purpose is to be able to prepare the most accurate possible set of values of fluid properties for use in other engineering calculations. An understanding of the advantages of the application of both laboratory data and correlations will be provided. Extensive exercises are used to illustrate the principles and to test the consistency of measured data. Accordingly, participants are encouraged to bring their own PVT laboratory data to deconstruct in class. Equations of State calculations are introduced, and a tuning exercise is conducted on commercial software.
This course covers both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
"Library of correlations was very impressive. Discussion of PVT and QCs was directly applicable to my job." - Reservoir Engineer, Oklahoma City, United States
"Overall a great course with a lot of practical application." - Reservoir Engineer, United States |
Designed For:
Reservoir, production and facilities engineers who have a need to model the flow of oil, gas and water through reservoirs, wellbores, and surface facilities. |
You Will Learn:
How To:
- Identify the type of fluid in a particular reservoir and predict how that fluid will behave during production
- Read and QC PVT Reports
- Use laboratory data to determine values of fluid properties for use in engineering calculations, including Equation of State
- Use correlations to determine values of fluid properties in the absence of laboratory data
- Select the best available fluid property correlations for oils, gases, and oilfield waters
- Shape PVT data to get the best results out of analytical and numerical software

Instructors:
MR. RICHARD HENRY has ten years management experience of multidisciplinary teams including construction projects, JIT manufacturing, and (petroleum) field audits. He has twenty-five years reservoir engineering experience including simulation, field management and reserves determination, and forty years' experience in programming, software engineering, and information technology. He holds a BSc Industrial Engineering (Honors, 1987) and a MSc in Petroleum Engineering (1997) from the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad. He is a graduate of Texaco's elite (30 candidates selected worldwide) and intensive (6 month) reservoir management training program (1998).
