Reservoir Engineering

Applied Reservoir Engineering

A broad grounding in reservoir engineering for conventional reservoirs, moving from rock and fluid properties through to simulation and field development planning. The work is framed within a multidisciplinary team setting and supported by spreadsheet calculations and a substantial reference pack. It is intended as the base on which later reservoir engineering study is built.
