A focused, practice-led program on integrating subsurface, wells, and facilities to lift production, improve recovery, and protect asset value. Participants use real field cases to diagnose constraints, rank opportunities, and implement closed-loop optimization aligned with company standards.

Workshop Objectives

• Build an integrated WRFM workflow linking reservoir, wellbore, and surface network models
  
• Diagnose production losses using nodal analysis, loss accounting, and structured root-cause methods
  
• Prioritize surveillance, workovers, artificial lift, and debottlenecking by risk, value, and execution readiness
  
• Optimize networks and facilities for pressure, capacity, flow assurance, and energy performance with KPIs for sustainment

About the Presenter

Delivered by a senior oil and gas practitioner with cross-disciplinary experience in reservoir engineering, production technology, and facilities optimization. Instruction emphasizes proven WRFM practices, decision-quality analysis, and practical tools that enable teams to progress from diagnosis to sustained performance improvement.

Material Balance Modeling
November 28, 2026 - November 29, 2026
Material Balance Modeling

Material balance is one of the most direct methods available to a reservoir engineer for estimating hydrocarbons in place, identifying the drive mechanism and forecasting reservoir performance. It requires far less data than a full numerical model, and when it is set up correctly it produces results that can be defended in technical reviews and reserve audits.This workshop covers the complete material balance workflow as it is applied on producing assets. It begins by placing the reservoir within the integrated production system, then moves through data preparation and quality control, tank model construction, drive mechanism identification, and the use of analytical and graphical diagnostic tools. Participants work through the classical diagnostic plots, including Dake and Campbell, and learn how to read what each plot indicates about depletion, gas cap expansion and water influx.The second part of the workshop addresses history matching using both analytical and graphical techniques, determination of STOIIP, aquifer identification and sizing, and running prediction cases to generate production forecasts and recovery estimates. Results are compared against volumetric and simulation-based estimates so that participants understand where material balance is reliable and where a numerical model becomes necessary.The workshop is delivered at an advanced level and is intended for engineers who already work with production and pressure data and want a structured, repeatable method for in-place volumes, drive mechanism evaluation and performance prediction.
