COURSE OVERVIEW:

Applied reservoir engineering focuses on understanding, characterizing, and predicting reservoir behavior through practical engineering techniques that integrate geology, petrophysics, production data, PVT, and SCAL information. This course provides participants with a strong technical foundation in reservoir mechanisms, petroleum fluid behavior, material-balance analysis, well-testing interpretation, decline-curve analysis, forecasting, and reservoir performance evaluation.

Participants will learn to apply analytical and numerical methods to diagnose reservoir behavior, estimate reserves, evaluate drive mechanisms, assess well productivity, and build reliable production forecasts. The course emphasizes hands-on, real-world applications, including data integration, uncertainty management, reservoir surveillance, and engineering workflows used in day-to-day field development and reservoir management. Case studies from clastic, carbonate, conventional, unconventional, and fractured reservoirs reinforce practical understanding of reservoir engineering concepts.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Understand reservoir rock and fluid properties and their influence on reservoir behavior.
• Identify primary drive mechanisms and evaluate their impact on reservoir performance.
• Apply material-balance methods to estimate original hydrocarbons in place and predict performance.
• Interpret well tests and pressure transient data to calculate permeability, skin, and wellbore conditions.
• Conduct decline-curve and production-trend analysis for forecasting and reserves estimation.
• Integrate PVT and SCAL data into reservoir engineering calculations.
• Evaluate well productivity using inflow performance relationships and nodal analysis.
• Analyze multiphase flow in porous media and understand relative permeability effects.
• Diagnose reservoir performance issues and identify optimization opportunities.
• Develop reservoir surveillance plans using static and dynamic data.
• Assess the impact of heterogeneity, anisotropy, and fractures on reservoir performance.
• Manage reservoir uncertainty and perform scenario-based forecasting.
• Screen and evaluate appropriate EOR and IOR methods for reservoir improvement.
• Prepare technical documentation, forecasts, and recommendations for asset teams.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Reservoir Engineers
• Petroleum and Production Engineers
• Reservoir Modelling and Simulation Engineers
• Field Development and Asset Management Teams
• Geoscientists working closely with reservoir engineering workflows
• Technical Engineers transitioning into reservoir engineering roles
• Professionals seeking applied, practical reservoir engineering expertise

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.
