This course is dedicated to the engineers and personal working in the subsurface departments petroleum / reservoir / production … as well as to academics, researchers who needs to understand the reservoir simulation background theory and its application to predict reservoir performance

• Gain a full knowledge of the fundamental concepts of the reservoir simulation model, basic elements planning of the reservoir simulation study.

  
  

• Understand how to design the reservoir models (Model concepts, Selecting the rock and fluid properties data, grid size and time steps sizes, etc.

  
  

• Understand the mathematical basis of reservoir simulation, differential equations, spatial discretization, and basic finite difference equations.

  
  

• Realize overall design of a well-Management routine, structure and sequence logic, individual well behaviour, and data requirement.

  
  

• Learn how to construct and understand all the sections of the simulation data file to upload it correctly into the simulator; run the simulation, check the output files and analyse the results.

  
  

• Learn how to check the input data, perform the History Matching technique by taking some special considerations, thus getting a model reproducing the observed field data.

  
  

• Prepare the necessary input data to make development strategy of the reservoir and run predictions with/without constraints for a better forecasting of the reservoir performance.

  
  

• Apply sensitivities analysis on reservoir parameters to study the effect, changes on the results.
