Course Objectives

1. To inform about the physical properties of reservoir fluids and porous media,
2. To make familiar with safety handling rules in lab,
3. To improve capabilities for teamwork,
4. To give an ability to write the technical report.

Course Description

Safe
handling of lab
chemicals and equipment. The properties of the
reservoir fluids: The
densities, API gravities, viscosities, surface and interfacial tensions, flash and fire points of
liquid hydrocarbons, water and sediment cut of crude oil, distillation of crude oil. The properties
of the porous media: porosity, saturation, liquid and gas permeabilities, relative permeability,
Klinkenberg effect.
