The course aims to provide a better knowledge on the different aspects applied in Reservoir Engineering to improve the ultimate hydrocarbon recovery. The course adresses main Reservoir Engineering topics starting from the primary recovery and up to enhanced oil recovery.  Both Conventional Reservoir Engineering and Modeling approaches are included. The course will extend to include special topics such as coning control with smart horizontal wells and enhanced oil recovery modeling.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Understand the main aspects applied in Reservoir Engineering
• Raise their knowledge on reservoir fluid characterization and fluid-rock properties
• Be aware how to calculate the original hydrocarbon in place
• Gain sufficient knowledge on Conventional Reservoir Engineering
• Understand Reservoir Surveillance and Well Test Analysis
• Gain better knowledge on water/gas coning effect and control
• Understand production optimization and Nodal Analysis Approach
• Get better knowledge Gas/Condensate Reservoir performance
• Gain sufficient knowledge on reservoir simulation modeling applications

This course is intended for junior and experience reservoir and peroleum engineers in addition to other geoscientists who seeks to have more knowledge on Reservoir Engineering aspects.
