Reservoir Engineering

Reservoir Simulation Strategies

An introduction to the fundamental and practical sides of modern reservoir simulation for conventional reservoirs. Particular attention goes to assembling available data into a consistent model of the reservoir. Morning theory sessions are followed by afternoon group exercises that build from single-well models up to full-field studies.
