Introduction

This course goes beyond the usual description of reservoir fluid properties. The underlying purpose is to be able to prepare the most accurate possible set of values of fluid properties for use in other engineering calculations. An understanding of the advantages of the application of both laboratory data and correlations will be provided. Extensive exercises are used to illustrate the principles and to test the consistency of measured data.

Objective

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

üIdentify the type of fluid in a particular reservoir and predict how that fluid will behave during production

üRead and QC PVT Reports

üUse laboratory data to determine values of fluid properties for use in engineering calculations, including Equation of State

üUse correlations to determine values of fluid properties in the absence of laboratory data

üSelect the best available fluid property correlations for oils, gases, and oilfield waters

üShape PVT data to get the best results out of analytical and numerical software

Audience

Reservoir, production and facilities engineers who have a need to model the flow of oil, gas and water through reservoirs, wellbores, and surface facilities.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
