About

About the course

Course content

The course partial differential equations for one-phase and multi-phase flow in porous materials, and numerical methods for solving these. Topics: Summary of rock and fluid properties; derivation of PDE's; numerical solution of PDE's using finite differences; methods for solving linear and non-linear equations; discussion of different types of reservoir simulation methods; practical sides of reservoir simulation applications.

Learning outcome

The course aims at giving the students basic knowledge of numerical simulation of fluid flow in petroleum reservoirs.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, obligatory exercises and group project. Folder evaluation will be basis for grade, and includes final exam (60%) and exercises/group work (40%). Each element is %-based, while final grade is letter-based. The lectures are in English. Retake exams may be oral.
