Training Overview

Training Overview

The Best Practices in Reservoir Engineering course offered by Coventry Academy provides essential tools for evaluating oil and gas reserves across various recovery stages. Participants will delve into reservoir fluid flow in porous media, characterization of different reservoir fluids, and an exploration of primary, secondary, and tertiary recovery mechanisms. Key topics include reservoir drive mechanisms, the Material Balance Equation (MBE), oil well testing techniques, and methods for water flooding and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) such as chemical, thermal, and miscible processes.

This comprehensive training course is structured to maximize oil recovery throughout the lifecycle of an oil field. It includes practical examples, exercises, and industry videos to reinforce learning. Specific features of the course include:

  • Routine and Special Core Analysis (RCAL & SCAL) for reservoir rocks to assess properties crucial for reservoir management.
  • Commercial Equations of State (EOS) used in the oil industry for accurate modeling of reservoir fluids and conditions.
  • Application of the Material Balance Equation (MBE) technique across different scenarios to estimate reservoir reserves and performance.
  • Techniques for conducting single and multi-well oil well testing to evaluate well productivity and reservoir behavior.
  • Practical insights into water flooding techniques and various methods of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) such as chemical, thermal, and miscible processes to optimize oil extraction.

What are the goals?

By the end of this Coventry Academy training course, participants will be able to:

  • Apply volumetric and material balance equations to calculate reserves
  • Understand oil and gas flow equations under different flow regimes
  • Understand main methods of well testing of Drawdown and Buildup tests
  • Calculate time and saturation of water breakthrough in water flooding
  • Best practices of main groups of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Petroleum Engineers & Production Engineers
  • Processing engineers & other discipline engineers
  • Geologists & Petro physicists
  • Engineers who are new to the profession
  • Other individuals who need to know about current & advanced techniques in EOR

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The course is designed as a blended environment of presentation, class exercises, field application/ analysis and several industry videos showing all processes.
