Reservoir Performance Analysis
This self-paced course provides practical knowledge on analyzing reservoir performance through rigorous data visualization and diagnostic techniques. It focuses on the analytical workflows required to interpret production trends, identify water breakthrough mechanisms, and optimize waterflood recovery.
Description
Effective reservoir management relies on the continuous evaluation of well and field performance to identify underperforming assets and remaining potential. This e-learning program guides professionals through the workflows of data normalization, pattern recognition, and advanced diagnostic plotting. Participants will explore critical methodologies such as production forecasting using empirical and analytical models, water breakthrough diagnostics (Chan plots), and injection analysis (Hall plots). The curriculum emphasizes the theoretical and analytical frameworks necessary to perform deep surveillance studies and create actionable optimization strategies without relying on automated tools.
To maximize recovery factors and extend field life, engineers must be able to diagnose complex reservoir behaviors from standard production data. This course introduces the integrated workflows necessary to validate data quality, create insightful visualizations, and interpret reservoir dynamics. By mastering techniques like After-Before-Compare (ABC) plotting and variable normalization, learners will gain the skills to distinguish between mechanical issues and reservoir-driven performance changes.
Participants will learn to evaluate reservoir and well performance by mastering data normalization techniques and creating diagnostic visualizations such as bubble maps, contour plots, and multi-well cross-sections. The course enables learners to perform rigorous production forecasting using various flow models, diagnose water breakthrough mechanisms using Chan plots, and assess waterflood efficiency through Hall plot analysis. Additionally, engineers will acquire the skills to identify underperforming wells, estimate potential remaining reserves, and design surveillance strategies that optimize injection and production allocation.
This is a self-paced e-learning program designed to provide a deep understanding of reservoir performance analysis through theoretical lectures and analytical case studies. The methodology focuses on the fundamental principles, manual calculation workflows, and diagnostic interpretation techniques, allowing professionals to master the physics of flow and data validation.
Organizations will benefit from engineering teams capable of performing detailed reservoir surveillance and identifying "hidden" production potential within existing assets. By applying rigorous diagnostic methods, companies can optimize water injection strategies, reduce excessive water cycling, and make data-driven decisions that maximize the economic recovery of the field while minimizing operating costs.
You will gain advanced technical competence in reservoir surveillance, mastering the ability to transform raw production data into clear diagnostic insights. This training enhances your analytical skills in key areas such as decline curve analysis, waterflood diagnostics, and performance benchmarking, empowering you to lead field reviews and confidently recommend remedial actions to improve asset performance.
