This (5 days) course is designed to introduce geologists, reservoir engineers and asset teams to the interactive Petrel reservoir engineering tools used for the construction of simulation models. In this course, you will build a 3D simulation model inside Petrel based on a geological input data, add wells and well control rules, create black oil fluid models and rock physics functions, and submit the model to the simulators. This course will introduce participants to the theory and practice of reservoir simulation. Participants will learn about the fundamentals of reservoir simulation, the development of simulation programs, and how to select the proper model for a simulation study. This course will also cover data preparation, grid design, calibration of the reservoir model, forecasting of future performance, and interpretation of simulation results. Participants will also be introduced to several advanced topics including: pseudo-relative permeability and capillary pressure, understanding the role of simulation in reservoir management, the mechanics of reservoir simulation limitations, and the structural aspects of the models. Upscaling and simulation techniques will also be discussed. ECLIPSE software will be used during the tutorials, however prior experience with the program is not required. During this course, participants will be expected to solve problems in a workshop format using related software applications.
