This
Oil & Gas training course is designed to provide an understanding of the reservoir
fluid properties and tools that are required for the estimation of hydrocarbon
in place and reserves, designing the reservoir depletion process and the
surface processing requirements, EOR method selection, identification and
quantification of the marketable products and reservoir simulation studies.
Following completion of this course, all participants should be able to make
decisions on field development planning with increased confidence.
This training course will feature:
A review of the components
of naturally occurring petroleum fluids
The importance
of phase diagrams and the relationships between the five reservoir fluids
An outline of
the most accurate methods for obtaining values of reservoir fluid
properties from laboratory data and correlations
Discussions on
sampling procedures and quality control.
An understanding
of Cubic Equations of State (EOS) development and applications
How to
characterise reservoir fluids for EOS tuning
Training Objectives
What
are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able
to:

Optimise separator operating
conditions and perform separator calculations
Explain reservoir fluids
characterisation and EOS Tuning procedures
Make decision on field development
planning
Describe the phase behaviour of
gas hydrates
Target Audience
Who is
this Training Course for?
This course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but
will greatly benefit:
Petroleum and Reservoir Engineers
who need to determine accurate values of the properties of reservoir gas,
oil and water for use in engineering calculations and Simulation
studies

Geologists and Non – Engineers who work in teams with Petroleum and
Reservoir Engineers to estimate hydrocarbon in place and reserves
Analysts who are required to
identify markets and product prices
Managers who seek to derive
greater decision making on field development
Training Methods
How will this Training Course be Presented?
This
course will utilise a variety of learning techniques to ensure maximum
understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The
daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. This involves
regular discussion of applications as well as review questions on each topic.
