About the course
Course content
The course addresses internal and external energy sources for reservoir production, and analysis of their influence on recovery of oil and gas from the various types of reservoirs. Topics: Oil, gas and condensate reservoir systems; microscopic and macroscopic displacement efficiency; natural drive mechanisms; injection of water and gas; material balance analysis; flow equations; well patterns; simplified recovery estimation methods.
Learning outcome
Ingress: This course will provide detailed knowledge of physical conditions, principles and methods relating to oil and gas from reservoirs.
Knowledge: Students should have a good understanding of dynamic reservoir behavior during production of oil and gas, and knowledge of key parameters, equations and methods for calculating the recovery of hydrocarbons.
Skills: Students should be able to use common methods and tools related to analysis of oil and gas reservoirs.
General competence: Students will understand the basic physical principles and methods of analysis.
Learning methods and activities
