COURSE OVERVIEW:

Advanced PVT simulation is the cornerstone of modern reservoir engineering and compositional modelling, enabling engineers to accurately predict phase behavior, fluid properties, and reservoir performance under varying pressure and temperature conditions. This course provides a deep technical foundation in the use of Equation-of-State (EOS) models, compositional fluid characterization, phase-behavior prediction, and integrated PVT–reservoir simulation workflows.

Participants will gain advanced capabilities in building compositional PVT models, tuning EOS parameters, generating reservoir-simulation-ready PVT tables, performing sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, and validating simulation outputs against laboratory experiments (CCE, CVD, DL, DLE) and field data. The course emphasizes practical workflows used in oil, gas condensate, volatile oil, HPHT, unconventional, and heavy-oil systems. Real field case studies demonstrate best practices and common pitfalls in advanced PVT simulation.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

• Understand advanced phase-behavior concepts required for compositional simulation.
• Build EOS models and characterize reservoir fluids for simulation use.
• Validate and tune EOS parameters using laboratory PVT data.
• Generate PVT tables and compositional datasets for reservoir simulators.
• Interpret dew point, bubble point, and phase-envelope behavior in simulation.
• Model retrograde condensation, condensate dropout, and multi-phase transitions.
• Integrate CCE, CVD, DL, and DLE results into simulation workflows.
• Perform compositional tracking and multi-component flash calculations.
• Predict viscosity, density, Z-factor, and volumetric behavior across reservoir conditions.
• Conduct sensitivity studies on EOS parameters and fluid components.
• Model fluid behavior in HPHT, volatile-oil, unconventional, and heavy-oil systems.
• Diagnose simulation errors linked to poor fluid characterization or EOS mismatch.
• Integrate PVT simulation outputs with reservoir performance forecasting.
• Prepare technically sound PVT simulation reports and validation documentation.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Reservoir Engineers
• Simulation and Modelling Engineers
• Petroleum Engineers
• PVT and Fluid Characterization Specialists
• Production and Facilities Engineers
• Geoscientists involved in EOS-based modelling
• Professionals seeking advanced compositional simulation skills

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
