Reservoir Simulation & Modeling
This self-paced course provides extensive knowledge in reservoir modeling and simulation. It focuses on the core principles, mathematical equations, and data requirements needed to build robust models and interpret their outputs effectively.
Description
Reservoir simulation is the industry-standard method for predicting field performance and optimizing recovery strategies under complex geological conditions. This e-learning program bridges the gap between geological data and engineering application, offering a deep dive into the construction and validation of reservoir models. Participants will explore critical methodologies such as grid design, property upscaling, model initialization, and the mathematical formulations governing fluid flow in porous media. The curriculum emphasizes the theoretical frameworks necessary to understand model limitations, perform quality control on input data, and design meaningful prediction scenarios.
To reduce uncertainty and make informed investment decisions, engineers must rely on accurate representations of the subsurface. This course introduces the integrated workflows necessary to design, build, and validate reservoir models. By mastering the physics behind the simulators, learners will gain the skills to define appropriate development strategies, assess model stability, and distinguish between calculation errors and physical reservoir responses.
Participants will learn to understand the core principles and equations involved in reservoir simulation, enabling them to define the data requirements for conducting comprehensive studies. The course enables learners to design appropriate grid systems (coarse vs. fine), create well completion items using manual tools, and practice history matching techniques to validate model performance. Additionally, engineers will acquire the skills to upscale reservoir properties, quantify sensitivities to model uncertainty, and screen alternative production strategies to optimize field development.
This is a self-paced e-learning program designed to provide a deep understanding of reservoir simulation through theoretical lectures and analytical case studies. The methodology focuses on the core principles, manual calculation workflows, and diagnostic interpretation techniques, allowing professionals to master the physics of modeling and data validation independent of specific commercial tools.
Organizations will benefit from engineering teams capable of critically evaluating simulation results rather than treating models as "black boxes." By equipping staff with strong theoretical modeling skills, companies can ensure that field development plans are based on rigorous scrutiny of input data and grid design, leading to more reliable production forecasts and reduced financial risk in capital-intensive projects.
You will gain advanced technical competence in reservoir modeling, mastering the ability to design grids, initialize models, and interpret complex simulation outputs. This training enhances your analytical skills in key areas such as history matching, uncertainty analysis, and property upscaling, empowering you to lead simulation studies and confidently communicate model results to stakeholders.
