Course Objectives		1. Develop students’ ability in solving reservoir engineering problems by analytical thinking and reasoning, while applying the integrated knowledge of physics, mathematics, geo-sciences and engineering sciences, 2. Develop students’ ability in taking the basic reservoir management decisions in the presence of uncertainty and lack of information,
Course Description		The course introduces the classifications and drive mechanisms of hydrocarbon (oil and gas) reservoirs and the basic methods for estimating the reserves. Identifying oil-water, oil-gas and gas-water contacts from pressure measurements. Derivation and modification of generalized MBE (Material Balance Equation) for reservoirs of various drive mechanisms is presented. Water influx theory and models are explained in detail.
Course Outcomes		Students who pass the course will be able to: 1. Describe basic elements and production mechanisms of reservoirs. 2. Determine oil-water, gas-water and / or gas-oil contacts by way of pressure measurements. 3. Formulate mathematical models regarding the production mechanisms. 4. Estimate original hydrocarbon in place for a variety of reservoir types (dry gas reservoirs, saturated reservoirs and undersaturated reservoirs) 5. Estimate water influx using well established methods in the literature.
