Course Objectives		1. To provide students with basic knowledge of reservoir rock properties, 2. To emphasize the importance of rock properties in engineering design of petroleum, natural gas and geothermal system, 3. To acquire the students with the tools available to measure or infer the reservoir rock properties essential for petroleum, natural gas and geothermal engineering studies.
Course Description		Fundamental physical properties of porous media; porosity, permeability, saturation, and electrical properties. Rock/fluid interactions focus on wettability concept, relative permeability, and capillary pressure. Fluid flow in porous media: Darcy’s equation is derived both for incompressible and compressible fluid flows. Linear and radial flows are investigated in layered systems.
Course Outcomes		Students who pass the course will be able to: 1. Identify reservoir forming rock types, 2. Define fundamental rock properties related to petroleum engineering as well as discuss the relation of those properties to various parameters. 3. Describe basic laws and principles related to reservoir rock properties. 4.Explain the tools to measure or infer rock properties required in the related engineering design studies.
