Applied Reservoir Evaluation

Duration: 5 Days
Target Audience: Reservoir engineers, geologists, petrophysicists, and technical staff involved in reservoir characterization and development planning.
Delivery Mode: Classroom / Virtual with case studies and hands-on exercises.
Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Course Overview

This comprehensive program equips participants with the knowledge and tools to conduct detailed reservoir evaluations. Participants will learn to integrate geological, petrophysical, and production data, estimate reservoir volumes, and analyze performance metrics to support optimal reservoir management decisions.

Day-by-Day Outline

Day 1 – Reservoir Data Collection & Analysis

Day 2 – Rock and Fluid Properties Evaluation

- Porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation calculations
- PVT data analysis for reservoir fluids
- Capillary pressure and relative permeability

Day 3 – Reservoir Geometry & Volumetric Estimation

- Structural mapping and reservoir delineation
- Net pay determination and reservoir volume calculation
- Hydrocarbon in place estimation

Day 4 – Performance Analysis & Diagnostics

- Material balance methods
