About

About the course

Course content

The course reviews newe literature over mathematical and numerical methods for erservoir simulation. Main emphasis is on a project work where a complete simulation model is to be developed using finite difference methods and Fortran. The project includes planning, programming and testing. The type of model to be developed will be determined individually at the beginning of the course.

Learning outcome

The student shall acquire state-of-art knowledge withing selected parts of the field of reservoir simulation. In addition, he will develop practical skills in deveopment and testing of reservoir simulation methods.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, self study, literature review, project work.

Compulsory assignments

  • Exercises

Course materials

Selected parts of the book: C.C. Mattax and R.L. Kyte: Reservoir Simulation, Monograph Series, SPE, Richardson, TX (1990), 13.
