Reservoir Characterization and Recovery Techniques

Aim and Content

The course builds on PTEK212 and PTEK213. A field example is selected from Norwegian shelf and different recovery methods are discussed, conventional as well as unconventional.

Learning Outcomes

After the course PTEK313 the student will be able to:

• provide a brief geological and reservoir technical description of the selected field
• account for different recovery methods
• model a reservoir segment and run recovery profiles with the program Sword
• perform reservoir engineering calculations
• describe a possible IOR (Improved Oil Recovery) project and conduct studies of sensitivity and uncertainty including use of multivariate regression analysis and the program @Risk
• carry out a PVT simulation study using appropriate software including calculation of minimum miscibility pressure
