Petroleum Reservoir Engineering

Properties of crude petroleum and gas. Composition of crude oil and natural gas. Classic properties of single and multiple fluid saturated rocks e.g. porosity, permeability and fluid saturation. Reservoir fluid behaviour – PVT analysis, formation volume factors. Concepts of fluid flow through porous media. Testing of reservoirs and well completion. Concepts of petroleum production. Gas lifts, surface production equipment. Reservoir types. Estimating reserves, material balance equations. Steady state and transient flow in the reservoir.
