Reservoir Engineering Basics & Overview
Course Description
This course provides a basic introduction and overview of the subject. It is particularly aimed at entry level engineers who are to become involved in the technical aspects of hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir production. The aim of Basic Reservoir Engineering is development of a more complete understanding of the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, from fluid and rock characteristics through reservoir definition, classification, development plan, and production. The objective of reservoir engineering is to optimize hydrocarbon recovery. This course will introduce basic reservoir engineering concepts and methods to know how much oil & gas is there (accumulation), How much can be recovered (reserves) and how fast can it be recovered.
