Streamlines: Applications to Reservoir Simulation, Characterization and Management - SRS
Program Overview
No formal training in reservoir simulation is required, making it accessible to geoscientists and engineers of all levels. The course includes hands-on computer exercises and provides a copy of the SPE textbook on streamline simulation and streamline simulation software.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The course "Streamlines: Applications to Reservoir Simulation, Characterization and Management - SRS" is designed to cover introductory and advanced concepts in streamline technology and its applications for reservoir characterization, reservoir management/optimization and field development strategy. The course is not limited to streamline simulation but exposes the power of streamlines in general. The course will involve a combination of theoretical discussion, practical applications, and computer exercises to provide hands-on training on the methods that can later be applied using any commercial streamline simulation software. A copy of the SPE textbook Streamline Simulation: Theory and Practice by Akhil Datta-Gupta and Michael J. King along with streamline simulation software will be provided to each course participant. This course covers conventional reservoirs.
Objectives:
Participants will learn how to:
- Apply the fundamentals of streamlines and streamline simulation, and analyze the advantages and limitations over conventional simulation
- Calculate swept areas and drainage volumes
- Optimize infill wells
- Perform reservoir surveillance and flood optimization using streamlines
- Integrate streamlines with finite-difference simulators
- Validate upscaled and upgridded geologic models
- Perform streamline assisted history matching of reservoir models
Teaching:
The course will involve a combination of theoretical discussion, practical applications, and computer exercises.
Other:
- The course is targeted towards practicing geoscientists and engineers.
- No formal training in reservoir simulation is required other than knowledge of basic mathematics.
- The course is available as a public session or as a private, on-site seminar.
