This is an introductory level technical course, designed to provide an overview of useful oil and gas reservoir properties, how they are measured, and a thorough conceptual understanding of common reservoir engineering equations, methods and workflows. The course is designed for personnel who have a technical background and little to no reservoir engineering experience, such as new engineering grads as well as experienced technical professionals from adjacent disciplines (completions, operations and facilities engineers as well as geoscientists).Read more...
