Introduction to Reservoir Simulation
Candidates:
Geoscientists and petroleum engineers involved in reservoir simulation.
Summary:
The course is designed to give participants a basic understanding of reservoir simulation techniques and simulators. It presents methods for preparation of data for input into a reservoir simulator to run a model and perform history matching of actual production data and prediction. Specific examples will be detailed and personal work will allow the participants to become familiar with reservoir simulation.
