Reservoir Fluid Properties: Preparation for Reservoir Engineering and Simulation Studies

About

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.

Target Audience

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

Participants 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
