Description
This course introduces basic reservoir engineering concepts and methods to enable cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and experience. It provides the required input to help you understand questions crucial to the reservoir engineer: How much oil & gas is there (accumulation)? How much can be recovered (reserves)? How fast can it be recovered (rate)?
Course Structure: 9 modules of 1½ hours each, delivered over 3 days
Each day will consist of 3 modules of 1½ hours, incl. a 15 min break.
Course Level: Foundation
Instructor: Leonhard Ganzer
Designed for you, if you are...
- A geoscientist or petroleum engineer with little or no reservoir engineering experience
How we build your confidence
- Theoretical concepts illustrated during individual sessions are accompanied by working on practical problems to ensure a thorough understanding of the principles and procedures
- Hands-on experience by solving classical reservoir engineering tasks on PC

Customer Feedback
"Good overview of the subject." - Technical Sales Manager at Expro North Sea
"Good trainer’s knowledge and availability to answer questions." - Reservoir Geologist at INA
"The online course was much better than I expected. Not only all of the course participants kept the rules of online communication but also the instructor did a great job." - Reservoir Geologist at MOL
"It was a very good overview of the subject. Topics followed each other naturally and the modules were not too long. It gave me a really good basic understanding of reservoir engineering, which will be very useful in my work." - Geoscientist at EBN B.V.
"I can say that was really a great training session. Actually I have already participated in previous HOTEng trainings before, and all of them were at high standards." - Petrophysicist at MOL
"The sessions timing was excellent. I prefer short sessions with breaks and extended over couple of days rather than one day full training which is usually hard to absorb and honestly is boring." - Reservoir Geologist at MOL
"Good balance in theory and practice, style and technical expertise of the instructor, clear explanations. Applicability in my everyday work as a reservoir geologist." - Reservoir Geologist at MOL
