Integrated Reservoir Modeling Training


Integrated Reservoir Modeling is carried out to better understand and characterize uncertainties in reservoir and well behaviour. It is used to make predictions for use in hydrocarbon development planning (field development planning) and well & reservoir surveillance and optimisation. This process should be seen in the context of a business plan for a new or producing asset in which a business focus will be maintained by addressing specifically those aspects having the biggest impact or influence on the business decisions being addressed. This course therefore, explicitly cover those aspects of a study in which the business context has a strong or dominating influence e.g. framing of the project, model design, economic screening and the selection of preferred development scenarios.
