About

About the course

Course content

The PVT part describes reservoir fluid properties, hydrocarbon phase behavior, PVT lab tests, and use of PVT data in reservoir calculations. The flow part of the course treats single-well behavior for steady state condition of gas and oil wells, as well as material balance calculation.

Learning outcome

The students should learn to apply the fundamentals of flow and phase behavior in petroleum reservoirs through example applications. Emphasis is made to link the interaction of fluid flow and phase behavior, and its impact on well and reservoir performance.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, exercises and project work. Exercises count for 40% of the final grade. Project work, PBL. Lectures are held in English. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
