Who Should Attend

Petroleum engineers and geoscientists engaged in reservoir analysis or management who have at least 2 years of experience in the subject.

About the Course

The course covers a variety of standard engineering and geological methods of calculating both original hydrocarbons in place and estimating recovery from oil reservoirs. These methods are applicable to both reserves booking and reservoir management. The course stresses awareness and determination of the relative importance of the many input parameters required for reserves calculations, the effects of uncertainty in the values of those parameters, and the use of basic geological and reservoir engineering techniques. These concepts are illustrated with case histories and other examples.
