ADVANCED CARBONATE RESERVOIR ENGINEERING
Course Objectives
Reservoir engineering methods as practised in carbonate fields will be addressed in this 5 day training course. Use is made of
practical and actual carbonate reservoir problems & examples to illustrate relevant subjects. Specific reservoir engineering problems
related to the heterogeneity, fluid-rock interaction and often fractured nature of carbonate rocks will be addressed.
By the end of this course, you will have a deeper knowledge of modern reservoir engineering practices for carbonate reservoir
development and production, including the construction and use of reservoir models.
This course will emphasize Reservoir Engineering applications in Carbonate fields in topic such as:
 Rock properties of carbonate and fractured reservoirs
 Reservoir fluid behaviour
 Identification of main production mechanisms
 Well behaviour and well testing
 Application of Decline Curve Analysis
 Detailed modelling of wells and reservoirs
 Water flooding
 Application of EOR methods in carbonate reservoirs
 Production forecasting and scenario methods
 Reserves and resource estimation
 Aspects of simulation model selection, construction and well, aquifer and fluid modelling
Who should attend?
The course is designed for experienced reservoir engineers with prior technical or engineering exposure to production activities in
carbonate reservoirs. Petroleum engineers and geoscientists who require more than general knowledge of carbonate reservoir
engineering will also find this course useful.
