Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering
This self-paced program introduces the essential principles of reservoir engineering through structured modules, case studies, and applied assignments designed for professionals and aspiring engineers.
Description
Reservoir engineering is a cornerstone of oil and gas operations, shaping how resources are evaluated, developed, and optimized. This comprehensive e-learning course demystifies complex reservoir concepts by presenting them in a structured and accessible format. Participants will explore reservoir rock and fluid properties, PVT relationships, aquifer characterization, well testing, recovery mechanisms, and simulation models. With recorded lectures, study materials, and case-based assignments, learners gain both theoretical grounding and industry-aligned application, all backed by ISO 9001:2015 quality standards.
The ability to accurately evaluate and manage hydrocarbon reservoirs is a decisive factor in oil and gas success. Yet, knowledge gaps in this discipline often result in inefficiencies and missed opportunities. This course bridges that gap by providing a clear, conceptual pathway into reservoir engineering. Whether you are starting your career or expanding your expertise, this program equips you with the insights and methods required to understand reservoirs, forecast production, and contribute to strategic field development.
