Reservoir Fluid Properties: Preparation for Reservoir Engineering and Simulation Studies
A practical course focused on producing the most reliable fluid property values for use in downstream engineering work. It weighs the use of labouratory measurements against correlations, uses extensive exercises to check data consistency and invites participants to bring their own labouratory reports. Equation of state methods are introduced with a tuning exercise, for conventional and unconventional fluids.
