Reservoir Engineering
Unconventional Resource and Reserve Evaluation
An advanced course on current approaches and requirements for evaluating reserves in unconventional plays. It concentrates on the actions and testing protocols that strengthen reserves categorisation through exploration, appraisal and development. The material is built on the main industry reserves framework, with the adjustments needed to meet a range of national reporting standards.
