Introduction
This course is concerned with understanding the underlying phase behavior important to the description and modeling of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes, and depletion performance of complex fluid systems.
Also, this course will present the methods for obtaining the values of reservoir fluid properties from laboratory data and correlations. Chemical properties of hydrocarbons, conventional laboratory PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) tests, and quality control will also be covered. Participants will learn about phase diagrams, mixing rules, EOS, EOS tuning, and fluid properties while attending this course. Each day participants will be given examples and problems to solve.
Objectives
- Make decisions about sampling and PVT laboratory procedures required
- Design and use PVT laboratory reports, including those for gas injection studies
- Develop EOS models
- Generate appropriate black-oil PVT tables for reservoir simulation
The main objective of the course is how to develop an equation of state (EOS) model from start to finish. We start with the fluid sampling, walk you through different laboratory procedures and go into the details of what is important both before and after EOS model development. The course is designed to be practical, and as a participant, you will be exposed to both real data and actual industry problems.
By the end of the course you will feel confident to:
Training Methodology
The program is delivered in a combination of lecture-style and computer-based training. In addition, a significant amount of time is set aside for small working group activity when addressing case study problems. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.
