Learn Reservoir Simulation using Petrel RE: Oil Reservoir

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.
