COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) Simulation. It covers the importance of PVT analysis, the role in reservoir characterization and applications in reservoir engineering; the basic thermodynamics of fluids, phase behavior in reservoir fluids and PVT data acquisition techniques; the PVT modeling fundamentals, EOS (equation of state) and complexities in EOS modelling; the PVT simulations for multi-phase systems and fluid characterization techniques; and the impact of PVT on reservoir performance and advanced techniques in PVT analysis. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the differences between black-oil and compositional models; the role of PVT in compositional simulation and calibration and validation of compositional models; the PVT data handling and integration, fluid behavior at varying pressures and temperatures, phase changes and their impact on reservoir performance; the effect of input uncertainty, sensitivity analysis on PVT parameters and the impact of uncertainty on reservoir predictions; the real-time PVT monitoring and data collection, PVT for CO2 sequestration and enhanced oil recovery (EOR); the high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) simulations, predicting fluid behavior over time and integrated PVT and reservoir modelling; and the PVT in field development planning and advances in PVT simulation technology.
