Advance Reservoir Simulation

Objective

This course discusses of reservoir simulation and its advanced topics; the development of simulation programs, selection of the proper model for a simulation study, data preparation and grid design, calibration of the reservoir model using observed performance data, forecasting of future performance under primary and secondary recovery schemes, and interpretation of simulation results. Advanced topics, including pseudo-relative permeability and capillary pressure, understanding the role of simulation in reservoir management, the mechanics of reservoir simulation, limitations and structural aspects of the models, upscaling and simulation techniques are also discussed.
