What you'll learn

  • How to model Oil Reservoir Simulation using Black Oil
  • History Matching
  • Water Injection
  • Production Forecast

Course content

3 sections • 21 lectures • 3h 40m total length

  • Let’s Get Started! ? Course Materials Here0:19
  • Introduction1:51

    Join the oil reservoir simulation training to build a dynamic model from initialization and history matching to forecast, including water injection scenarios, using Excel inputs, completion data, and rescue files.

  • What to do6:36

    Set up the project in petrol using excel, import dot four production data, and input rock and j-function properties; perform history matching and waterflood scenarios, then forecast production to 2021.

  • Import Rescue File10:35

    Import the rescue file into a new Petrel project, set field UTM units, and inspect wells, MDG and porosity distributions, plus permeability, saturation number, and Bo in 3d view.

  • Import Completion Data6:01

    import completion data in petrol, create casing for all wells, and verify perforations in the well section with porosity and permeability color scales.

  • Make .vol file and import production data10:22

    Create a .vol data file by converting Excel data to the dot file format, defining date components and oil, water, and BHP fields, and import into Petrel for oil visualization.

  • Input Relperm and Jfunction Table12:17

    Input and configure relative permeability and J function tables in petrol, building gas–oil and water–oil curves, and set rock physics parameters for consolidated sandstone with J function.

  • Input PVT Table5:49

    Import the PVT table into Petrel, configure gas-oil and water contacts, set bubble point pressure and reference conditions, and tailor fluid properties for the reservoir simulation.

Requirements

  • Basic Reservoir Engineer

Description

This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach to oil reservoir simulation using the black oil model. Participants will learn the essential steps to build, calibrate, and optimize reservoir models for accurate production forecasting and field development planning. The course covers the entire workflow, from data import and model setup to history matching, infill well placement, and case comparison.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Import and prepare reservoir data, including completion and production data.

  • Construct and validate reservoir models using .vol files and input tables (relative permeability, PVT, etc.).

  • Perform history matching to align the model with observed production data.

  • Estimate Original Oil in Place (OOIP) and analyze reservoir performance.

  • Design and evaluate aquifer models (bottom-up and edge aquifers).

  • Generate opportunity maps for infill drilling and optimize well placement.

  • Simulate and compare different development scenarios, including infill wells and injector conversions.

  • Visualize reservoir dynamics using HCPV maps and streamlines.

  • Conduct case comparisons to assess economic and production outcomes.

Who Should Attend:

  • Reservoir engineers

  • Petroleum engineers

  • Geoscientists involved in reservoir modeling

  • Professionals seeking practical experience in black oil simulation

Course Outcome:

By the end of this course, participants will be proficient in applying black oil simulation techniques to real-world reservoir challenges, enabling them to make data-driven decisions for field development and enhanced oil recovery.

Who this course is for:

  • Reservoir Engineer
