PENG 331/3215 - Reservoir Engineering Fundamentals (3 cr.)
Prerequisites
and PENG 3021
Description
The course presents different phases of oil recovery including primary, secondary, and enhanced. It reviews basic rock/fluid properties and important fluid flow equations in porous medium for compressible and incompressible fluids. It presents reservoir drive mechanisms and volumetric calculation of oil and gas reserves.
The course also covers Material Balance Equation (MBE) techniques as a straight line (Odeh & Havlena) for calculation of oil reserve for saturated and undersaturated reservoirs. Water flooding process is covered and also different models for prediction of water coning problem. In addition horizontal well production and introduction to different enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes are presented.
