The objective of this course is to provide candidates with advanced knowledge and skills in reservoir modeling and simulation, with a focus on reserve estimation and cap rock analysis. Participants will learn to apply modeling techniques to estimate hydrocarbon reserves and analyze the integrity and effectiveness of cap rock formations. This course focuses on the advanced techniques and field applications of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods in the oil and gas industry. Students will gain a deeper understanding of reservoir characterization, EOR selection criteria, and the practical implementation of various EOR techniques.
