Basic Reservoir Engineering
All courses
About the course
The intent of Basic Reservoir Engineering is development of a more complete “understanding” of the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, from fluid and rock characteristics through reservoir definition, delineation, classification, development plan, and production. Data collection, integration and application directed toward maximizing recovery are stressed. Basic reservoir engineering equations are introduced with emphasis directed to parameter significance and an understanding of the results.
Designed for
Geologists, geophysicists, reservoir and production engineers working with reservoir definition, development and production.
