This course provides participants with the basic knowledge required to work with tNavigator for dynamic reservoir simulation. It introduces the main components of the tNavigator environment, explains how simulation models are structured, and shows how to navigate through key interfaces and workflows.

Participants will gain an overview of simulation concepts within tNavigator, understand how the Model Designer is used to build and manage models, and be introduced to Assisted History Matching (AHM) and uncertainty analysis as implemented in tNavigator. The focus is on building confidence with the interface, understanding the logic of the workflow from input data to simulation runs and results, and being able to run and review basic models suitable for day-to-day reservoir engineering tasks.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Explain the role of tNavigator in the reservoir engineering and field development workflow.
• Describe the overall structure of a dynamic simulation model in tNavigator, including grid, properties, fluids, wells, and schedule data.
• Navigate the tNavigator interface and use the Model Designer to inspect and modify model elements.
• Load, review, and prepare basic model input data in tNavigator and perform simple consistency checks.
• Set up and run basic simulation cases and interpret key results such as pressures, rates, and saturations using tNavigator visualization tools.
• Describe the purpose and main concepts behind Assisted History Matching and uncertainty analysis in tNavigator.
• Understand how tNavigator manages ensembles, scenarios, and cases for AHM and uncertainty studies.
• Create and compare simple development scenarios within tNavigator for reservoir management decisions.
• Recognize the data and model requirements for more advanced use of tNavigator in future reservoir and field studies.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Reservoir engineers using or planning to use tNavigator
• Petroleum and production engineers who need to understand the tNavigator simulation outputs
• Reservoir modelers and geoscientists supporting dynamic model preparation
• Asset and field development engineers who review and use simulation results in decision-making
• Subsurface professionals who require an introductory understanding of tNavigator workflows

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. 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 learning. 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.
