COURSE OVERVIEW:

This course provides a comprehensive and structured understanding of the technical and operational principles governing the effective management of natural gas reservoirs. Participants will explore reservoir characterization, well performance analysis, fluid flow behavior, reservoir drive mechanisms, and long-term monitoring strategies. Emphasis is placed on maximizing gas recovery while ensuring reservoir pressure support, production stability, economic performance, and environmental compliance.

The course further examines reservoir surveillance tools, depletion planning, gas compression strategies, decline curve analysis, and material balance techniques. Participants will gain insight into how reservoir uncertainties influence development decisions, how reservoir models are constructed, and how production forecasts are optimized through continuous monitoring and adaptive management. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge needed to evaluate, manage, and enhance the performance of gas reservoirs across their operational life cycle.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Understand the fundamental characteristics of natural gas reservoirs.
• Describe reservoir drive mechanisms and their impact on gas production.
• Interpret key reservoir engineering parameters used in gas field evaluation.
• Apply material balance concepts to gas reservoir performance analysis.
• Conduct decline curve analysis and forecast long-term deliverability.
• Assess well inflow performance and productivity constraints.
• Evaluate reservoir depletion strategies and pressure maintenance options.
• Identify key challenges related to reservoir heterogeneity and uncertainty.
• Understand gas compression requirements throughout the field life cycle.
• Interpret data from reservoir surveillance tools and monitoring systems.
• Use reservoir simulation models for scenario evaluation and development planning.
• Optimize reservoir management strategies for maximum recovery and economic performance.
• Identify operational risks, HSE considerations, and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Understand how geoscience, drilling, and production disciplines integrate within reservoir management.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Reservoir engineers
• Production engineers
• Petroleum engineers involved in reservoir monitoring and planning
• Geoscientists supporting reservoir characterization
• Technical staff working in gas field operations
• Field development planners and asset managers
• HSE professionals in upstream operations

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 percent of the total attendance time requirement.
