DE0441(AD6) : Advanced PVT and EOS Fluid Characterization

Course Description

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

 

The drilling in new fields is planned to start in early 2013, where one of the objectives of the first well is data gathering and especially fluid sampling that enables engineers to deliver a proper fluid characterization (from sampling to EOS characterization). This course will enable the participants to ensure optimum sampling strategy, strong laboratories follow-up capabilities and high-quality EOS characterization.

 

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 fluid phase behavior and basic fluid properties; the PVT measurements and sampling methods; the EOS models as well as how to properly characterize the plus fraction and tune EOS; and the process of lumping and de-lumping.

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the PVT data for reservoir simulation; the miscible process and how is it modeled; the quality checking of the data provided by vendors; and the appropriate regressing methods on how to develop a PVT model (EOS) that match the available data.
