Reservoir Management Fundamental Concepts
Course Description
This course is designed for all professionals working in an integrated asset team in the upstream of petroleum industry, especially for asset managers and reservoir engineers. The course contents are designed based on the fundamental concepts of reservoir management: multidiscipline team work, data management and optimization of reservoir development. The fundamental theories, knowledge and skills which are needed to perform these tasks are taught in this course. Many quizzes and calculation exercises are used for practice. Practical examples are used for demonstration. Participants are encouraged to bring their own problems or questions for discussion during the course.

Asset managers and reservoir engineers, Oil & Gas Engineers, reservoir operators, geologists, geophysicists, anyone who work in an integrated asset team in the upstream of petroleum industry, those who desire to obtain an overall picture of oil and gas field, development and desire to obtain basic knowledge and skills of reservoir management.

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;

  • Lectures
  • Workshop & Work Presentation
  • Case Studies and Practical Exercise
  • Videos and General Discussions
