Applied Reservoir Engineering
Course Overview
This is an in-depth course that is designed to provide the participants with a solid understanding of reservoir engineering and associated modern theories in order to manage and maximize hydrocarbon recovery. Hands-on examples and exercises are used throughout the course to help participants with understanding key performance concepts. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop computer to class.
This course is design for Petroleum Engineers, Drilling Engineers, Production Engineers, Reservoir Engineers and other disciplines engineers who desire to obtain a comprehensive knowledge of the application of reservoir engineering to optimize field performance and maximizing hydrocarbon recoveries.
