Introduction

This course goes beyond the usual description of reservoir fluid properties. The underlying purpose is to be able to prepare the most accurate possible set of values of fluid properties for use in other engineering calculations. An understanding of the advantages of the application of both laboratory data and correlations will be provided. Extensive exercises are used to illustrate the principles and to test the consistency of measured data.

This course covers both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

Objective

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Identify the type of fluid in a particular reservoir and predict how that fluid will behave during production
• Read and QC PVT Reports
• Use laboratory data to determine values of fluid properties for use in engineering calculations, including Equation of State
• Use correlations to determine values of fluid properties in the absence of laboratory data
• Select the best available fluid property correlations for oils, gases, and oilfield waters
• Shape PVT data to get the best results out of analytical and numerical software

Audience

Reservoir, production and facilities engineers who have a need to model the flow of oil, gas and water through reservoirs, wellbores, and surface facilities.

Certificate

TRAINIT ACADEMY will award an internationally recognized certificate(s) for each delegate on completion of training.

Methodology

The training course will be highly participatory and the course leader will present, guide and facilitate learning, using a range of methods including formal presentation, discussions, sector-specific case studies and exercises.  Above all, the course leader will make extensive use of real-life case examples in which he has been personally involved. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences.  Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.
