Designed for you, if you are...
- A practicing reservoir engineer and/or researcher dealing with phase behaviour, miscible displacement and compositional / complex black-oil reservoir simulation
- A process or chemical engineer
How we build your confidence
- Laboratory experiments and correlations to obtain PVT data will be discussed and illustrated using practical examples
- You can bring your own PVT reports to discuss with the trainer
- Fluid characterisation with an EOS using commercial PC-based programs will be performed
The benefits from attending
By the end of the course you will feel confident to:- Make decisions about sampling and PVT laboratory procedures required
- Design and use PVT laboratory reports, including those for gas injection studies
- Develop EOS models
- Generate appropriate black-oil PVT tables for reservoir simulation
Topics
- Phase behavior introduction & basics
- Traditional and modified black-oil PVT properties
- Fluid sampling. Why and when collect samples? What is a representative sample? Sampling methods. Quality checks of samples.
- Laboratory PVT experiments - how they are conducted, for what purpose and how they should be applied
- Using correlations and laboratory data to obtain PVT properties
- Fluid characterisation with an equation of state (EOS)
- Heptanes - plus (C7+) characterisation
- Tuning an EOS by regression
- Pseudoizing to reduce the number of components
- Generating modified black-oil properties
Customer Feedback
"Very rich combination given on condensate blockage; Curtis' intervention online was quite intensive." - Surveillance Manager at Dolphin"I liked the exercises, supportive material, instructors' patience and collaboration." - Simulation Manager at Dolphin
"Nice progression from basics to the more advanced topics, instructors are very open to answer all questions." - Reservoir Engineer at PDO
"The course was a summary for all PVT related work from taking a sample to the analysis. I liked the online course with recording option and this is a good option with online trainings, so I can go back to the materials once needed." - Reservoir Engineer at PDO
"It was not about the agenda, but we could ask and take time till we understand." - Reservoir Engineer at PDO
"The instructors have a very strong technical background." - Reservoir Engineer at PDO
"The professionalism of the instructors and quality of delivery of the course including the course material has really been a master class. I am especially impressed by the instructor's know-how or excellent grasp of every aspect of the PVT course. Addition of up-to-date techniques or methodologies to the course makes it very relevant to current advancement. And thanks for the references. Huge worth of knowledge shared there. Much appreciated. Well-done to all." - Reservoir Engineer at ERC Equipoise
"The delivery technique by the instructors especially writing out solutions/notes makes the online session feel like a face-to-face delivery." - Reservoir Engineer at ERC Equipoise
"Excellent material, knowledge of Curtis is unmatched." - Reservoir Engineer at Trident
"Very impressed with the overall organisation of the course involving the material, setting and data supplied. Moe and Curtis are a great team!" - Petroleum Engineer at Chrysaor
"Focused, to the point and it covers all important aspects of PVT & EOS. I got more than I expected." - Reservoir Engineer at Tatweer
"Knowledge of Curtis is unmatchable." - Reservoir Engineer at PDO
"In depth analysis and explanation of topics" - Sr. Reservoir Engineer at Tullow
"The entire course showed me a lot of things I 'did not know that I didn't know' and opened my mind to the applications of PVT analysis and EOS Fluid Characterisation." - Reservoir Engineer at Repsol
