This course is prepared to provide delegates with the importance of the dynamic reservoir modelling and simulation. The course demonstrates simply the process of building and running the dynamic reservoir model starting with obtaining the geological/static model and up to different reservoir model prediction scenarios. The course addresses the importance of reservoir rock and fluid properties into the developed reservoir model. History matching process, as a crucial element in the overall reservoir modelling, has a special attention with a focus on fluid characterization and special core analysis aspects. The course extends to include special reservoir modelling such as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), fractured reservoir and smart well technology as well. Different comparative field case studies are also included for a better explanation.
