Target audience:persons with (or in the process of obtaining) higher or secondary professional education in the relevant specialty, or those who have undergone professional retraining in the corresponding field
Studying methods: lectures, seminars, discussions, problem-solving, calculations, and graphing.
After of course, participants will be: to enhance professional competencies reflected in knowledge and skills.
- work with technical reports on PVT analysis of reservoir fluids in Russian and international formats;
- theory and practice of mathematical modeling of reservoir fluids (reservoir oil, gas‑condensate systems);
- understand the objectives and application of various methods for creating a reservoir fluid model;
- work in a PVT simulator;
- identify causes of changes in reservoir fluid properties and draw appropriate conclusions for their mathematical description;
- use mathematical modeling to calculate compositional changes with depth for reservoir oils, gas‑condensate systems, and two‑phase reservoirs;
- apply PVT models to identify the component composition and properties of fluids in two‑phase reservoirs with limited initial data;
- adapt PVT models to EOR experiments (swelling, slim‑tube) for accurate EOR modeling in reservoir simulation;
- account for the influence of dispersed oil on gas‑condensate system behavior using PVT modeling;
- study oil displacement principles by gases and perform modeling in a PVT simulator;
- learn the technique of re‑saturation of reservoir fluid to restore properties of a maximally saturated reservoir;
- study modeling of three‑phase vapor‑liquid equilibrium in the «water–hydrocarbon fluid» system. Calculate water content. Study hydrate formation criteria.
About course: professional development for specialists in hydrodynamic and PVT simulation, with an emphasis on modelling of reservoir fluids.
