Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• An experienced reservoir engineer working on naturally fractured reservoirs, wishing to refine your expertise in modelling and simulating these complex reservoirs

How we build your confidence

• You will understand how and why fractured reservoirs matter for the energy transition and how oil and gas expertise can be applied to others subsurface applications such as CCS and geothermal energy
• By using case studies, you will review the challenges encountered during the characterisation and operation of naturally fractured reservoirs
• Modern reservoir modelling approaches for naturally fractured reservoirs will be discussed (not specific to certain software packages)
• You will learn how to quantify the fundamental processes that drive fluid flow in naturally fractured formations (incl. simple exercises)
• You will explore the concepts available in modern reservoir simulation packages and discuss their advantages and disadvantages when single- and multi-phase flow processes in naturally fractured reservoirs
• You will understand why and how advanced history-matching workflows can help to provide better production forecasts for naturally fractured reservoirs
