This workshop provides an overview of fluid separation and treatment processes critical to oil and gas production operations. Participants will explore the principles and technologies used to separate oil, gas, and water phases, with emphasis on equipment design, process efficiency, and environmental compliance.

Workshop Objectives

• Understand the fundamentals of multiphase fluid separation.
  
• Learn the design and operation of separators and treatment systems.
  
• Explore methods for improving efficiency and handling production challenges.
  
• Review environmental and regulatory considerations in produced fluid treatment.

About the Presenter

The workshop is conducted by a production engineering professional with extensive experience in surface facilities, separation technologies, and production optimization. The presenter combines technical expertise with field-based knowledge to deliver both conceptual understanding and practical applications.

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.
