Modern Reservoir Simulation Overview

 

Introduction:

The course is designed to give an introduction to the fundamental and practical aspects of modern reservoir simulation. Particular emphasis is placed upon the available data and its integration into a data set that reflects a coherent model of the reservoir. These aspects are reinforced with practical examples. The course starts with an overview of the fundamental principles of reservoir simulation and explains various types of simulators including black-oil, compositional, and dual porosity. The role of simulation in managing a reservoir is also highlighted. This overview is followed by a detailed discussion of the required input data for a simulation- including rock properties, rock-fluid interactions, and PVT data. Various options for modeling both vertical and horizontal wells are also presented. This section is followed by a discussion of gridding options and the factors which should be considered when choosing a grid. The impact of both grid size and orientation are shown. The key steps to making a successful history match are then discussed and the main concepts illustrated by hands-on exercises. The final section of the course explores the concept of upscaling and the impact it has on full-field modeling.

Course Objectives:

 

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Have an understanding of the elements of a reservoir simulation model
  • Understand how models are built
  • Gain an appreciation for the fundamental concepts of reservoir simulation
  • Gain a view on the tools used in the industry

Who Should Attend?

Geologists, Petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, production engineers who are interested in obtaining an overview of simulation technology and how simulation fits into the reservoir development and optimization process
