Reservoir Engineering
Basic Reservoir Engineering
An accessible introduction to how oil and gas reservoirs are described, classified, developed and produced. Participants see how gathering and combining data supports better recovery and project value, and are introduced to the key reservoir engineering equations with attention to what each parameter means. The emphasis is on understanding results rather than heavy derivation.
